Horn of the Abyss[edit | hide | hide all]
In Horn of the Abyss, Resistance since v.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.

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 cursed or slowed (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 Dwarves and Unicorns can stop an enemy's spell on their own, and Rangers 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.
