Nondamaging conditions currently on you are ineffective; stacks duration.

— In-game description

Resistance is a boon that temporarily negates the affected target of all effects caused by nondamaging conditions. For example, when a character affected by fear has resistance applied to them, they'll no longer be forced to run away from the casting enemy. When resistance ends, they'll resume running in fear if the condition is still in place. However, it doesn't negate the reduced healing effectiveness effect from the damaging condition poison.

Version history

Patch	Changes
October 05, 2021	Fixed a bug causing duration-stacking boons to be affected by a hidden stack limit of 9, which in some cases could come into effect before stacking to that boon's expected duration cap. This resulted in some boons having a lower total duration than expected. This hidden stack limit has been removed for duration-stacking boons that also have a maximum duration—alacrity, fury, protection, quickness, resistance, resolution, swiftness, and vigor.
May 11, 2021	Nondamaging conditions currently on the player are ineffective. Stacks duration.
May 08, 2018	This boon now converts to 3 seconds of chill when it is corrupted.
February 06, 2018	Resistance now converts to 2 seconds of immobilize.
October 18, 2016	The duration-based boons Protection, Quickness, Regeneration, Resistance, Retaliation, and Vigor will now only stack up to 5 times instead of 9.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Resistance has been added to the game.
