Resisting Status Effects

There are methods that can be utilised to resist Status Effects being applied to your character.

Damage reduction

If an enemy attack deals 0 damage, the Status Effect it carries will not be applied, as the attack is considered the same as a miss. By utilising a high percentage Line Shield and a Rainbow body unit (such as Guardless / Rainbow or Legsless / Rainbow) it is possible to raise your character's MST or DEF high enough to reduce some attack damage from smaller enemies to 0.

Stamina thresholds

For TECHNIC-based enemy attacks, many of these can be resisted if your character has enough STA/End. Enemy TECHNIC attacks go up in level dependent on the rank of the mission, and the STA/End required to resist them increases accordingly. The following table shows the amount of STA/End. required to resist a LV1 Status Effect.

Mission rank	C	B	A
End. Required (Megid)	21	21	24
End. Required (other)	22	22	25

Some enemies, such as Gaozorans with Foie, will use TECHNICs that inflict a higher Status Effect level and therefore require additional STA/End. to resist. In addition, when using this method some Status Effects (for instance, Stun from a Grass Assassin, and several Status Effects applied by bosses) cannot be resisted and will apply regardless of your STA/End.

Resist Units

There are a number of 7★ body units that provide resistance to certain Status Effects. When equipped in the body slot of your line shield, the unit will provide resistance to the specified Status Effect regardless of the mission rank. In addition, resist units will also resist Status Effects that still apply with the Stamina method - for instance, Grass Assassin Stun can be resisted with a Stun / Resist.
