Resistance

In general terms, resistance to an effect reduces its potency but does not make it less likely to occur.

  1. Resistance to damage reduces the amount of damage suffered.
  2. Resistance to a debuff reduces the amount of the debuff.
  3. Resistance to a status effect causes that status to wear off faster.
Note: Many powers are described in the game as providing Resistance to various status effects when they actually provide Protection.
