| '''Resistance''' is a [[secondary skill]] that increases the [[magic resistance]] of hero's troops. | | '''Recommended for:''' Any Hero on a map which figures to have lots of crucial battles with enemy heroes (skill is of limited value against neutral stacks-Faerie Dragons aside). |

| The skill effect is negated if {{an2|Orb of Vulnerability}} is present on the battlefield.
| | ==Strategy== |
| | Resistance is much more useful in multiplayer games than against the AI. |

| | {{Secondary skills}} |
| In {{-wh}} [[Horn of the Abyss]], Resistance since v.[[Horn_of_the_Abyss_(Changelog)#Version_1.6.0|1.6.0]] is banned by default, and all heroes that would start with Resistance start with [[Interference]] (a new secondary skill introduced in HotA), aside from [[Thorgrim]], who is also banned by default and replaced with [[Giselle]] with Interference specialty.
| |
| | |
| The artifacts that form the new [[Pendant of Reflection]] are also changed from Resistance to Interference powers.
| |
| | |
| Resistance works against all spellcasters including neutral creatures, while Interference only works vs enemy heroes with high [[spell power]].

| {{user commentary|
| |
| While resistance may not be reliable, it can turn the tide of battle against a magic user when it takes effect, saving your troops from something very bad. They will survive a devastating damage spell or avoid being [[curse]]d or [[slow]]ed (in case the spell is casted on your entire army, Resistance has a chance to protect ones who will really suffer from it, e.g. top speed troops will resist Slow). Resistance works at its finest in [[Rampart]], as [[Dwarf and Battle Dwarf|Dwarves]] and [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|Unicorns]] can stop an enemy's spell on their own, and [[Ranger]]s have the highest chance to learn the skill.
| |
| | |
| It is a common misconception that [[Garniture of Interference]], [[Surcoat of Counterpoise]] or [[Boots of Polarity]] would increase the resistance secondary skill in a similar way that for example [[Bow of Elven Cherrywood]] increases [[Archery]] skill. However, this is not the case. The "resistance artifacts" increase the [[magic resistance]] of creatures in a similar way Resistance secondary skill does. Basically this means, that wearing any of those artifacts gives the magic resistance bonus with or without the resistance skill – unlike with archery artifacts and Archery skill.
