Resistance
In general terms, resistance to an effect reduces its potency but does not make it less likely to occur.
- Resistance to damage reduces the amount of damage suffered. Tankers and Brutes can get up to 90% resistance to any type of damage, Kheldians can get up to 85% resistance to any damage type, and all other archtypes can get up to 75% damage resistance to any damage type. Unlike defense in which the global defense cap for all archtypes is 95%.
- Resistance to a debuff reduces the amount of the debuff.
- Resistance to knockback reduces the knockback distance.
- Resistance to a status effect causes that status to wear off faster.
- Note: Many powers are described in the game as providing Resistance to knockback or status effects when they actually provide Protection.
