This article is about an attribute. For the Inazuman faction commonly known as "the resistance", see Watatsumi Army.
See also: DEF and DMG Reduction

Resistances, abbreviated in-game as RES, are attributes that reduces incoming DMG of specific types.

Base RES of playable characters is always 0%, while Base RES for enemies vary greatly. There are ways to increase or decrease RES. Total RES is calculated as:

\%\text{ RES} = \%\text{ RES Base} + \%\text{ RES Bonus} - \% \text{ RES Debuffs}

RES Multiplier[]

The DMG multiplier provided by RES varies nonlinearly with the RES percentage. Depending on the value of $\% \text{RES}$ in the interval below, the corresponding $\text{RES Multiplier}$ is as follows:^[1]

Formula	Interval
$\text{1} - \biggl( \frac{\mathsf{RES}}{\text{2}} \biggr)$	RES < 0
$\text{1} - \mathsf{RES}$	0 ≤ RES < 0.75
$\frac{\text{1}}{\text{4} \times \mathsf{RES} + \text{1}}$	RES ≥ 0.75

For example, an enemy with 10% RES (0.1) will have a $\text{1}-\text{0.1}=\text{0.9}$ RES multiplier (meaning that damage is reduced). If one swirls with the Viridescent Venerer set to reduce resistance by 40%, then the $\text{10}-\text{40}=-\text{30}\%$ RES (-0.3) will have a $\text{1}-\biggl(\frac{-\text{0.3}}{\text{2}}\biggr)=\text{1.15}$ RES multiplier (meaning that damage is amplified).

In general, since the RES multiplier decreases with RES percentage, the lower the target's RES percentage, the more damage one can do to it.

RES Types[]

There are 8 types of RES corresponding to the 7 Elements and Physical DMG.

Specific details for the abilities, items, reactions, and other effects that modify a character's or enemy's resistance are listed on these separate pages.

Talent	Description	Type
Divine Maiden's Deliverance Divine Maiden's Deliverance Shenhe	Unleashes the power of the Talisman Spirit, allowing it to roam free in this plane, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. The Talisman Spirit then creates a field that decreases the Cryo RES and Physical RES of opponents within it. It also deals periodic Cryo DMG to opponents within the field.	Elemental Burst
Dominus Lapidis Dominus Lapidis Zhongli	Every mountain, rock and inch of land is filled with the power of Geo, but those who can wield such powers freely are few and far between. (PressPress/TapTapText for touch screen) Commands the power of earth to create a Stone Stele. Hold Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects: If their maximum number hasn't been reached, creates a Stone Stele. Creates a shield of jade. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli's Max HP. Deals AoE Geo DMG. If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG. Stone Stele When created, deals AoE Geo DMG. Additionally, it will intermittently resonate with other nearby Geo constructs, dealing Geo DMG to surrounding opponents. The Stone Stele is considered a Geo construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks. Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time. Jade Shield Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Characters protected by the Jade Shield will decrease the Elemental RES and Physical RES of opponents in a small AoE by 20%. This effect cannot be stacked.	Elemental Skill

Hold Wielding her sword, Eula consumes all the stacks of Grimheart and lashes forward, dealing AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her.

Whirlwind Pulse When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind's Bale to nearby opponents, decreasing their Anemo RES.

Source Samples Xilonen has 3 Samplers with her that can generate different Soundscapes based on her other party members' Elemental Types, decreasing nearby opponents' corresponding Elemental RES while active. The initial recorded Source Sample within each Sampler will be Geo, and for each party member who is Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro, 1 Geo Sampler will change to that corresponding Element. While Xilonen is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, the Geo Source Sample she carries will always be active. After unlocking her Passive Talent, "Netotiliztli's Echoes," Xilonen can trigger said Passive Talent's effects to regenerate Nightsoul points for herself. When her Nightsoul points hit the maximum, she will consume all her Nightsoul points and activate the 3 Source Samples she has on hand for 15s. When the Source Samples are active, nearby opponents' corresponding Elemental RES will decrease. Source Sample effects of the same Elemental Type cannot stack. Xilonen can trigger these effects even when off-field. Nightsoul's Blessing: Xilonen Continuously consume Nightsoul points. When these points are depleted or if used again, this Nightsoul's Blessing state will end. This state has the following traits: Switches to the Blade Roller mode, increasing Xilonen's Movement SPD and climbing speed, and she can perform high-speed leaps in Ocelot Form while climbing. Xilonen's Nightsoul's Blessing has the following restrictions: When in this state, Xilonen's Nightsoul points have a 9s time limit. After this limit passes, her Nightsoul points will immediately expire.
