Characters who use that element should have high resistance to that element and those who don’t should have a bit of all 🤷🏾

[KinghtofZero]

The reactor rolls are weird too. Why is there a fire skill damage roll in a chill reactor? There no multi-element Descendants in the game so its not use full in any way

[Qballizkool]

That idea would definitely make perfect stat components less of a pain in the butt to farm.

It would also just be a better system than us just hoping we get the two stat rolls we want on all 4 of our components.

[KyleSage]

I would LOVE the option to grind up a 4k resistance item for each slot, then I'd never have to worry about swapping to counter the elements being used against me.

[traytonjacobi]

A Diablo style socket for resistances or other stats would be really nice to see

[kilua]

They should just add a 3rd stat line for resistances. Power gets random fire res roll, Sensor gets chill etc

[DeadlyRivfader]

They are going to give us a separate melee attack and I hope they do the same for resistance as well.

[skinPingwin]

Nexon: Reducing the grind is not in the pipeline.

The seasonal buff which gives you a resistance to one element and then 10% to all elements on top of it is pretty great. They should keep this moving forward in some way so resistance isn't a focus but also not forgotten.

[Xariann]

Gem approach is great. I think you should be able to roll stats you want without RNG in weapons too, ar least when it comes to legendaries.

[Swordmaster]

I agree with you on this and that is including the module resistances as some builds are pretty tight on space. I actually wish they had another module space (while increasing the maximum capacity) as a slot dedicated solely to one or two resistance modules.

Regarding components, having a Gem to upgrade per component would be nice as we're either ignoring other more beneficial upgrades or just slotting for resistance.

[Malacite]

Agreed, along with fixing reactors so they no longer roll mismatched elements.

Furthermore I honestly think they should change Descendants to just have one element and one skill type instead of 2. It's incredibly obnoxious and annoying on Viessa for example that 3 of her skills are fusion, while her 4 and passive are tech.

If I had it my way I'd remove the randomized rolls from Ultimate Weapons too along with the whole weapon mounting aspect of reactors but oh well.

[jeraymymorteau]

Or like having a fire reactor with ice boost damage in it bcs we all know its really useful right? How can this even exist seriously?

[TheAgentAssassin]

This is TFD, their answer to an overpowered farming descendant with electric was to make an even more powerful descendant with electric whom now completely trivializes 400% for every other person in the lobby.

Like how when and where is this even remotely fun for other players?

"but bro I don't mind cause it makes farming easier so I just follow ines in"

You see that is the exact problem.

[Kishiiknight]

maybe have the elements do different type of damage like other games have done like electric damage on top of what it does also destroys shields faster, fire ticks could ignore the defense stat, and poison damage could make it so you can’t regen health, and ice could make you take more damage from physical attacks make em more impactful so everyone isn’t just focusing on damage

[seanweaver]

It’s a hot take as none of my external components have any resistance mods on them. Being able to apply them, even on a temporary basis, would be a better take for the game.

[porkie]

This makes sense... please inform the devs 😊

[jasonjohns]

I completely agree each component has a specific resistance and just waste of a stat when yes could get more important stats when resistance is only really needed for colossus fights and with good weapons and can take down colossus in seconds it's not even needed at all

[MemberOfHonkLegion]

i wouldn't mind a gem type socketing mechanic to deal with toxins/armor/hp/shielding buffs. or even make a side slot where we wear rings/necklaces trinkets to provide that.

[SuperTab]

I also think resistances need to be readjusted. Not removed.
