Resist Magic is a Passive Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
Resist Magic provides bonus resistance to all elemental damage types that are not status effects: it thus affects Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light and Dark damage, but not Poison, Curse or Stone.
As with all crafted Shards, increasing Grade requires the player to craft more copies of the Shard. Because this requires Fiend Hearts which only have a 2.00% base drop rate from Demon Lords, it can be a good idea to craft copies while the Alchemic Bounty is equipped, in order to bring down the amount of Fiend Hearts that need to be gathered. As Grade increases, the elemental resistance bonuses become greater, with a maximum of +10 to each.
As with most of the "Resist X" Shards, all Rank upgrades have the same cost, in this case one of each of the elemental gemstones (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald). Increasing Rank, as well as eventually creating a Skill Shard variant, also gives a chance that an elemental attack will be totally nullified, with the chance increasing with level. A nullified attack will cause a gray "GUARD" popup message to appear in place of the usual damage amount.
Availability[]
- Arvantville: Crafted at Johannes's laboratory by spending the following Materials:
- Fiend Heart ×1
- Resist Fire (not consumed)
- Resist Ice (not consumed)
- Resist Thunder (not consumed)
Resist Magic is a crafted Shard which does not drop from any enemy. It instead becomes available to craft once the player has at least one of each of its component Shards in their inventory: these are Resist Ice (drops from Ice Elementals in the Glacial Tomb), Resist Fire (drops from Fire Elementals in the Inferno Cave) and Resist Thunder (drops from Thunder Elementals in the Livre Ex Machina). Crafting a Resist Magic requires the player own one of each of these Shards and uses one Fiend Heart, which drops from Demon Lords in the Glacial Tomb (or those summoned by the Master Carpenter in the Oriental Sorcery Lab). As with all crafted Shards, crafting it does not expend the three required Shards, only the Fiend Heart.
