Status Resistance is an attribute of a hero that reduces the duration of most status debuffs. By default, every unit has a base status resistance of 0.

Definition[]

Status resistance generally only affects modifiers placed by enemies and not ones placed by allies.

There are some technical exceptions and it does not affect every modifiers. When a unit's status resistance is modified, the new debuff duration value is only applied to debuffs applied after the modification, it does not update the duration of already placed debuffs or the current debuff instance.

Mechanics	Status Resistance Affecting Component	Examples
Base Status Resistance	Every unit currently has a base status resistance of 0.
Auras	Do not have a duration to reduce. The aura linger duration is not affected.	Natural Order
Effect Delay	Not reduced if the purpose of a temporary modifier is to delay another ability effect/component.	Reincarnation
Permanent Modifiers	Do not have a duration to reduce.	Intelligence Steal
Damage Over Time	Damage over time is generally not reduced. Total damage dealt over time stays the same. Modifiers with damage over time have the damage tick interval adapted to the reduced duration.	Shackles Fiend's Grip
Attack Speed Slow Duration	Reduces attack speed slowing sources' duration.	Dispose Fire Spirits
Move Speed Slow Duration	Slow Resistance sources manipulate movement speed slow duration and are not affected by status resistance sources. Examples of Slow Resistance in the next column.	Grow Vindicator's Axe
%Bonus/Reductions	Status Resistance bonus or reduction sources from abilities, items, talents. Percentage-based values stack independently of each other.	Bulldoze

Equations[]

Status resistance bonus from Sange-based items do not stack with each other, the higher status resistance value takes priority.

Total Status Resistance = 1 - Status Resistance Multiplier

Status Resistance Multiplier = (1 - Base Status Resistance) × (1 - MAX( Sange-%based)) × ${\displaystyle \prod_{i=1}^{n}}$(1 - Status Resistance Modifiers _i )

Total Debuff Duration = Original Duration × Status Resistance Multiplier × ${\displaystyle \prod_{i=1}^{n}}$(1 - Debuff Duration Modifiers _i )

Stacking[]

All sources of status resistance stack multiplicatively. This means a unit's status resistance value changes less the higher its status resistance is, and more the lower it is. This prevents a unit from reaching 100% status resistance by stacking different sources up.

Only certain status resistance granting sources have stacking restrictions and are separated into 3 groups. The status resistance bonuses from Sange-based items do not stack with each other, with the one with a higher value taking priority. However, other sources from different groups stack independently, but still multiplicatively of each other.

• Group 1: Sange-based items.
• Group 2: Stack-based bonus/reductions stack additively of itself and multiplicatively with other sources.
• Group 3: Miscellaneous — Sources that do not belong to any of the first 2 groups fully stack with each other, with multiple of themselves, and with other item bonuses.
• Group 4: Outgoing Debuff Duration Amp

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
Sange-based	Stack-based	Misc	Outgoing Debuff Duration Amp
Sange and Yasha (25%) Kaya and Sange (25%) Heaven's Halberd (16%) Sange (16%)	Corrosive Weaponry	%Bonuses/Reductions from Abilities Talents	Spell Steal Timeless Relic

Example 1a

Status Resistance Bonus and Status Resistance Multiplier

Spirit Breaker has Heaven's Halberd equipped with level 2 Bulldoze active. What is his current status resistance?

Base unit status resistance: 0

Bonus status resistance: Bulldoze 0.5, Heaven's Halberd 0.16

Total Status Resistance

= 1 - (1 - 0) * (1 - 0.5) * (1 - 0.16)

= 0.58

Spirit Breaker currently has 58% status resistance in this example, and all debuff duration applied on him will now be multiplied by 0.42.

Example 1b

Debuff Duration and Status Resistance Multiplier

How long would a level 4 1.7s Telekinesis lift duration be on Spirit Breaker from the previous example?

Total Debuff Duration

= 1.7 * 0.42

= 0.71

The level 4 Telekinesis will affect Spirit Breaker for a duration of 0.71s instead of 1.7s in this example.

Example 2

Calculating Actual or Total Debuff Duration

Spirit Breaker from the previous example now has both Heaven's Halberd and Kaya and Sange.

He is currently affected by Ceremonial Aura

The enemy Rubick now has Timeless Relic equipped. How long would a level 4 Telekinesis lift duration be on Spirit Breaker now?

Base unit status resistance: 0

Bonus status resistance: Heaven's Halberd 0.16, Kaya and Sange 0.25

Status resistance reduction: Ceremonial Aura 0.1

Total Status Resistance:

= 1 - (1 - 0) * (1 - 0.25) * (1 - -0.1)

= 0.175

Spirit Breaker currently has 17.5% status resistance in this example, and all debuff duration applied on him will now be multiplied by 0.825, before other debuff duration amplification applied.

Debuff duration amplification: Timeless Relic 0.2

Total Debuff Duration

= 1.7 * 0.825 * (1 - -0.2)

= 1.68

The level 4 Telekinesis will affect Spirit Breaker for a duration of 1.68s instead of 1.7s in this example.

Modifying Status Resistance[]

Several abilities and items have abilities that grant or reduce status resistance.

Increasing Sources[]

¹ Requires talent.

^2a Requires Aghanim's Scepter.

^2b Requires Aghanim's Shard.

Items[]

These items have a bonus status resistance to the hero who has them equipped.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> <div style="border:1px solid #aaa; text-align:center;">'''Bonus Status Resistance'''</div>

Item	Value	Item Cost	Cost/Value Point
Heaven's Halberd	16	3550	221.88
Kaya and Sange	25	4050	162
Sange	16	2000	125
Sange and Yasha	25	4050	162

Talents[]

The following heroes have a talent that grants them bonus status resistance.

Bonus	Level 10		Level 15		Level 20		Level 25
	Left	Right	Left	Right	Left	Right	Left	Right
Status Resistance				+10%

Reducing Sources[]

¹ Requires talent.

^2a Requires Aghanim's Scepter.

^2b Requires Aghanim's Shard.

Debuff Duration Manipulation[]

Similar to status resistance, which affects incoming debuffs' durations. Debuff duration manipulation affects outgoing debuff durations instead. Any ability whose duration would be reduced by status resistance will have its duration increased by debuff duration increases.

Unaffected Abilities[]

Duration Reduced[]

Dynamic Tick Intervals[]

Several abilities that do something in intervals have their intervals adapt to a changed duration. This includes duration changes caused by status resistance or debuff duration amplification.

The following abilities have dynamic tick intervals

Slow Resistance[]
