Resist
Resist is a gameplay mechanic in Arknights.
Overview[edit]
As the name suggests, Resist allows the bearer to block an attack directed at them, completely nullifying it in the process. Unlike dodging attacks, resisting attacks will prevent the bearer from being affected by anything triggered by hitting the target, such as Negative Statuses from certain attacks and Elemental Injuries. Conversely, Operators with defensive SP recovery for their skills will still recover SP if the attack that would hit them is resisted.
Unlike Dodge, True damage can be resisted. Resist, along with other damage mitigating effects is calculated together. If there is no specific description, the earliest one take effect first.
For example, if Liskarm activates her 
Charged Defense while under the effect of Deepcolor's 
Visual Trap, when calculating, Visual Trap's dodge will be calculated first, and Charged Defense's resist only takes effect if the dodge fails. However, if Charged Defense is activated before Visual Trap, the former's resist will take effect before the latter's dodge is calculated.
