Resistance

Resistance is a trait which can be conferred by innates or the status effect Barrier that reduces the intensity of status effects inflicted on a unit. Like offense and similar innate traits, it is usually associated with a particular status effect, and only has any effect against that particular status effect.

Like with defense, resistance is applied before the effects of dodging.

Examples

 * A unit doesn't dodge an enemy technique that inflicts Burn 6, but it has 4 Burn resistance. Because of this, the intensity of the inflicted effect is reduced by 4, and the unit suffers a much milder Burn 2.
 * A unit half-dodges an enemy technique that inflicts Dampen 10 and has 6 Dampen resistance. First, the incoming Dampen is reduced down to Dampen 4 by the resistance, and then, the half-dodge halves the remaining intensity, bringing it down to Dampen 2.
