Resolve is an effect that increases your Damage Reduction and is used by the Spiritborn class. This effect can stack up to 8 times, each stack boosting your Damage Reduction. However, taking damage will consume one stack.

How to Apply Resolve

Some Skills, Items, and Passives can cause this effect, and some Legendary Aspects can also enhance this effect, such as the Aspect of Potent Exchange or Band of First Breath. As a Spiritborn, using the Gorilla spirit guardian as secondary Spirit Hall choice is the best way to generate Resolve stacks.

Here are some examples of Skills or Passives related to the Resolve Status Effect:

Class	Skill	Passive
Spiritborn	Sharp Rock Splitter	Perseverance
Spiritborn	Armored Hide
Spiritborn	Rampant Crushing Hand

You can also affect your Resolve stacks by using gearing and tempering (like with Spiritborn Resolve.)

How to Recognize Resolve

Resolve will most likely be displayed as an icon above your skill bar, showing the amount of stacks you currently have.

Additional Information About Resolve

Resolve stacks are an important mechanic for Spiritborn builds, increasing both survivability and damage. When combined with specific Aspects, the results can be game-changing:

• Aspect of Interdiction boosts your Block Chance based on Resolve stacks. Unlike most bonuses, Block Chance here doesn’t cap at 100%, allowing for even higher stacking potential.
• Aspect of Redirected Force converts that Block Chance into Critical Strike Damage. Combined with the 100% Block Chance from Armored Hide and the 45% Block Chance from the Rod of Kepeleke, Redirected Force turns your Resolve stacks into a multiplier for Critical Strike Damage.
• Resolve Scaling: With 40 stacks of Resolve, this interaction can deliver up to +2000% Critical Strike Damage, making stacking Resolve on gear a must for maxing your damage output.

Additionally, Resolve interacts with the Colossal Glyph, adding multiplicative damage to make your build stronger. Stacking Resolve and using these synergies unlocks incredible damage, making it a core part of the strongest Spiritborn builds like Quill Volley.
