Resistance

This article is a stub. You can help Grim Dawn Wiki by expanding it.

Resistances are character attributes that reduce the damage the character receives depending on damage type. Resistances in Grim Dawn are conceptually similar to those in Titan Quest, as Grim Dawn uses the same engine, but Grim Dawn uses different damage types.

List of resistance types

Core resistances are the resistances shown in the first tab of the character window.

• Elemental resistances:
  • Fire Resistance
  • Cold Resistance
  • Lightning Resistance
• Poison & Acid Resistance – reduces both Poison Damage and Acid Damage
• Pierce/Piercing Resistance
• Bleed/Bleeding Resistance
• Vitality Resistance
• Aether Resistance
• Stun Resistance – against being stunned
• Chaos Resistance

In the third page of the character window:

• Physical Resistance
• Disruption Resistance – also known as "Skill Disruption Protection" on equipment
• Life Leech Resistance
• Energy Leech Resistance
• Trap Resistance – also known as "Reduced Entrapment Duration" on equipment
• Petrify Resistance
• Freeze Resistance – also known as "Reduced Freeze Duration" on equipment and devotion
• Sleep Resistance
• Slow Resistance

Caps

Player character resistances have a soft cap of 80%, which some items can raise to the hard limit of 95%.

Penalty

Like in some other action RPGs, including Titan Quest, resistances are reduced when playing on higher difficulty levels.
