Damage Resistance refers to the Bullet, Melee, and 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.

Most resistances stack diminishingly with each additional resistance source having reduced effect. Resistance Reduction is applied to the final resistance, and if stacked separately and diminishingly.

The Bullet Resistance and Spirit Resistance stats are also sometimes referred to as "Bullet Armor" and "Spirit Armor".

Melee Resist edit

Melee Resist is a special case of Bullet Resist that is stacked diminishingly along with Bullet Resist to reduce all incoming melee damage. This includes all "melee" abilities such as Viscous Puddle Punch ability.

Math edit

Despite being presented in-game as +x% Bullet, Melee, or Spirit Resist, multiple sources of resist stack multiplicatively, not additively.

The formula for resist is:  
where:
 

For example, multiple sources of Bullet Resist:

 

Resistance Reduction edit

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.

 

For example, using Bullet Resists and Reductions:

 

The final Resistance can go negative, and this multiplies the damage taken of that type. For example:

  • 30% resist= 70% of the damage from the weapon or ability.
  • 0% resist = 100% of the damage from the weapon or ability.
  • -30% resist = 130% of the damage from the weapon or ability.

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.

Even Resistance from Level#Power Increases is multiplicative. For example, Bebop's base Resistance is 0%, while he gains 1.25% Resist per Power Increase. After 14 Power Increases, Bebop's total resistance will be

A graph showing how despite the resistance percentage not growing additively, it scales the player's effective health additively.

Include graph of effective health as a function of Damage Reduction. In the mean time, feel free to refer to this Desmos graph.

Include graph of effective damage increase from using 15%, 30%, and 45% Resistance Reduction as a function of the target's original Damage Reduction. In the mean time, feel free to refer to this Desmos graph.
