Resistance Level

This topic is in need of research for the following reasons: * How exactly do resistance levels affect damage? * How does a negative Healing resistance level affect a demon? This can be discussed on the article's talk page.

Profile

Resistance Levels are the method Shin Megami Tensei NINE uses to display elemental affinities. either a positive number from 1 to 9, or a negative number from -1 to -8. The former represents a resistance to a particular element, while the latter represents a weakness. Drain and Repel are represented by a 吸 or a 反 at the end of the resistance level for that element, respectively.

While an Almighty resistance level is shown in the status menu, all characters have an Almighty resistance level of +1.

Barrier skills work by increasing the resistance level of their respective elements by 4 until they wear off. For example, Crystal Wall increases the Electric resistance level of all party members, and Steel Wall increases their Force resistance level.
