'''Damage Resistance''' refers to the [[Weapon Damage|Bullet]], [[Melee Attack|Melee]], and [[Spirit Power|Spirit]] Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken. Bullet Resist reduces all weapon and melee damage, Melee Resist reduces only melee damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage. [[Unit]]s have a unique "Damage Resistance" stat that is applied to all sources of damage, including [[Trooper]]s.

'''Damage Resistance''' refers to the Bullet and Spirit Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken.

~~Bullet Resist reduces all weapon (such as bullets/melee) damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage~~.

Most resistances stack multiplicatively; they are not added together. Sources of Resistance Reduction are multiplied together separately first. The total reduction is then subtracted from the total resistance. This has the consequence of resistance reduction being more effective on targets with higher resistance.

~~Resistances~~ from [[~~Level~~|~~Power Increase~~]]~~s seems to act strangely~~ and ~~requires more research~~.

== Resistance types ==

=== Bullet Resist ===

Bullet Resist reduces all incoming [[Weapon Damage]], including from abilities. [[Troopers]], [[Guardians]], [[Neutrals]] and the [[Mid-Boss]] deal weapon damage.

List of abilities that deal weapon damage:

=== Spirit Resist ===

Spirit Resist reduces all incoming [[Spirit Damage]]. Most abilities and items deal spirit damage, as well as [[Walkers]], [[Shrines]], and the [[Patron]].

=== Melee Resist ===

Melee Resist reduces all incoming [[Melee Damage]], including from abilities.

~~== Stacking Resistances ==~~

In addition to Melee Resist gained from items, Bullet Resist affects all Weapon Damage, granting another source of resistance against Melee Damage. The only exception is {{HeroIcon|Venator}}'s innate Spirit-scaled Bullet Resist, although this is likely a bug.

~~Resistances~~ from ~~multiple sources are multiplicative with each other~~.

~~<math>\mathit~~{~~Displayed Resist}~~ = ~~1 - (1 - \mathit{Resistance 1}) * (1 - \mathit{Resistance 2~~}~~) * ... * (1 - \mathit{Resistance N~~}~~)</math>~~

List of abilities that deal melee damage:

~~For example~~, ~~multiple sources of Bullet Resist~~

=== Crit Reduction ===

Crit Reduction is a stat that reduces the critical damage (headshots) received by the hero. Not to be confused with [[Weapon Damage#Crit Multiplier|Crit Bonus Scale]], a stat that reduces the critical damage dealt by the hero to other targets.

* 60% Bullet Resist from Viscous' [[Viscous#(4)_Goo_Ball|Goo Ball]]

Crit Reduction is an innate stat to balance heroes with large head hitboxes, and cannot be modified by items or abilities.

* 40% Bullet Resist from the [[Colossus]] [[Items|Item]] results in:

~~<math>1 - (1 - 0~~.~~6) * (1 - 0~~.~~4) = 76% Bullet Resist</math>~~

== Starting Damage Resistance ==

The following [[Hero|Heroes]] either have starting Damage Resistance values or gain resistance with [[Boon|Boons]] or [[Spirit Power]]. Boon and Spirit scaling resistances stack additively.

~~==Resistance Reduction==~~

Note: Negative values indicate that the hero receives increased damage.

~~Resistance Reduction refers to any negative amount of Resist, making~~ the ~~target take~~ increased damage.

~~Resistance Reduction is calculated multiplicatively like resistance, but then simply subtracted from the resistance amount.~~

~~<math>\mathit{Displayed Resist}~~ = [1 - (1 - \mathit{Resistance 1}) * (1 - \mathit{Resistance 2}) * ..~~. * (1 - \mathit{Resistance N})] - [1 - (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.1}) * (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.2}~~)* ..~~. * (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.N})]</math>~~

== Calculation ==

While items often display resistance as a flat percentage (e.g., +20% Resist), multiple sources of resistance do not simply add together. Instead, they stack '''multiplicatively'''.

~~For example~~, ~~using Bullet Resists and Reductions~~:

=== Calculating Resistance ===

To find your total resistance, use the following formula:

* 70% Spirit Resist ~~from Viscous' [[Viscous#~~(4) ~~Goo Ball|Goo Ball]]~~

<math>\text{Total Resist} = 1 - (1 - R_1) \times (1 - R_2) \dots</math>

* 20% Spirit Resist from [[Spirit Armor]]

* -~~12% Spirit Resist from [[Spirit Strike]]~~

* -12% Spirit Resist from [[Mystic Vulnerability]]

* -24% Spirit Resist from [[Crippling Headshot]]

~~<math>[~~1 - (1 - 0.7) * (1 - 0.2)~~] -[1 - (1-~~0.~~12)*(1-~~0.~~12)*(~~1-0.~~24)]~~ = ~~\mathit 35~~% ~~Spirit Resist</math>~~

'''Example:'''

If you have two sources of resistance, one providing '''40%''' and another providing '''20%''':

# Convert percentages to decimals: 0.40 and 0.20.

# Subtract from 1: (1 - 0.40) = '''0.60''' and (1 - 0.20) = '''0.80'''.

# Multiply the remainders: 0.60 × 0.80 = '''0.48'''.

# Subtract from 1: 1 - 0.48 = '''0.52'''.

# Your Total Resist is '''52%'''.

=== Calculating Resistance Reduction ===

'''Resistance Reduction''' (often called "shred") acts as a counter to resistance. It is calculated separately using the same multiplicative formula, and then subtracted from the target's resistance.

=~~=Notes==~~

<math>\text{Final Resist} = \text{Total Resistance} - \text{Total Reduction}</math>

~~Resistances can go negative, and this multiplies the damage taken of that type.~~

30% ~~resist= 70~~% ~~of the damage from the weapon or ability~~.

'''Example:'''

A target has '''52%''' Total Resistance (as calculated above). You attack them with two sources of Reduction: one providing '''25%''' and another providing '''20%'''.

0~~% resist~~ = ~~100~~% ~~of the damage from the weapon or ability.~~

'''Step 1: Calculate Total Reduction'''

<math>1 - (1 - 0.25) \times (1 - 0.20) = 0.40 \rightarrow \mathbf{40\%}</math>

-30% ~~resist~~ = ~~130~~% ~~of the damage from the weapon or ability.~~

'''Step 2: Subtract Reduction from Resistance'''

<math>52\% - 40\% = \mathbf{12\%}</math>

~~Items like [[Headshot Booster]] grant~~ a ~~flat added bullet damage, this bonus damage is not multiplied by weapon damage but is subject to resistance reduction/increase in damage~~.

The target has a final effective Resist of only '''12%'''.

==~~Graphs~~==

=== Negative Resistance ===

If the Total Reduction is higher than the Total Resistance, the final value will be negative. This acts as a damage amplifier.

* '''30% Resist:''' You take '''70%''' of incoming damage.

* '''0% Resist:''' You take '''100%''' of incoming damage (True Damage).

* '''-30% Resist:''' You take '''130%''' of incoming damage.

== Effective Health ==
