How the Resist Keyword Works
Resist is the ultimate defensive tool. It acts as armor, making your characters incredibly difficult to banish through traditional combat or damage-dealing actions.
The Rules of Resist
- Damage Reduction: Resist is always followed by a number (e.g., Resist +2). Whenever this character takes damage from any source (challenges, actions, or abilities), you subtract that number from the damage dealt.
- Zero Damage: If the damage dealt is equal to or less than the Resist number, the character takes zero damage.
- Example: A character with Resist +2 is hit by an action that deals 2 damage. The character takes 0 damage and stays perfectly healthy.
Strategic Use
- Anti-Steel Tech: Resist is extremely effective against Steel decks that rely on “ping” damage like Grab Your Sword.
- Invincible Challengers: A character with high Resist can often challenge multiple times without ever losing Willpower.
