Element Resistance is a quirky, undocumented, and out dated system from the initial release of MU Online. So take this info 'with a grain of salt.' Essentially, some monster skills cause a 'skill effect' to the player when attacking. An example of a 'skill effect' is when your character slides on the ground when a Thunder Lich monster attacks. This type of 'skill effect' could be ignored via Lightning Resistance!

*most notably, you can resist the knock-back effect from monsters in Chaos Castle with Fire Resistance!

• Element Resistance protects a character from 'skill effects'.
• Skills cause certain effects depending on their type:
  • Earth, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water: causes Knock-back.
  • Ice: causes Movement Speed debuff.
  • Poison: causes Poison DMG DOT.
• Element Resistance formula:
  • (Element Resistance * 10) = % Chance of Resistance
• If multiple items with Element Resistance are equipped, only the item with the greatest effect is applied.

• Necklace of Fire +4 = Fire Resistance of 5
• (5 * 10) = % chance of resistance
• = 50% chance of resistance
• If a Necklace of Fire +4 is equipped with a Ring of Fire +4, the chance of resisting the skill effect is still only 50%.

• Ring items obtained from promotioal events may possess all six +Excellent Option.
