Cold Resist modifies cold damage and cold or freeze length (including Freezes Target) by a percentage, after Magic Damage Reduced has been applied; CR -100% is the floor, while CR > 99% makes a unit Immune to Cold and prevents it from being chilled or frozen.

  • Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of CR 75%, but this can be increased to CR 95% by applying +% Maximum Cold Resist (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling). Difficulty level penalties of CR -40% in Nightmare and CR -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in Classic games) also apply to them.
  • It is only applied whenever a new source of cold damage or cold or freeze length is applied, so removing it afterwards will have no effect on current length; adding it after a target is chilled or frozen will have no effect either.
  • Drinking a Thawing Potion after cold or freeze length has been applied will remove it.
  • Cold damage tends to be more moderate than lightning or fire, but in the absence of Cannot be Frozen, resistance becomes more important to counter cold length or freeze length and its slowing of attack rate and movement speed (particularly for melee attackers).
  • Conversely, this means it is more important to reduce enemy resistance when applying cold or freeze length, using Conviction, Lower Resist and -% Enemy Cold Resistance. However, cold or freeze length will never be applied to units with 0 chill effectiveness.

Consult individual monster pages for cold resistance of a particular monster, or individual area pages for cold resistance of all monsters in a particular area.

  • Several Unique bonuses apply CR bonuses to that monster, in the order in which their labels are displayed. [3] [4] If a bonus results in CR > 99%, it is only applied if a monster has less than two immunities beforehand (in which case it either becomes Immune to Cold, or increasingly so).
