Resolve - how to gain

How to gain Resolve?
Officer can gain 3 when chosen, just want to know if it's gained by leveling or other methods aka do you have alot end game or is gaining 3 extra worth it

[Sanctified Reach 420]

i scored an item that increases it.

There are companion abilities which will also have effects that can increase resolve in combat. I think it might be tied to a certain stat too since my officer archetype ones have very high resolve.

The only other thread I have found is https://www.reddit.com/r/RogueTraderCRPG/comments/141ggb0/resolve_and_momentum/
But it is out of date, Base resolve is no longer determined by Fel bonus if it was previously.
Things I have compared resolve to and found no correlation (Yet, for all I know it might be divided by 2 or something).
Wounds, base or modified.
Any single characteristic bonus.
Level.
Archetype.
Reputation iconoclast, heretic, dogmatic
Psy rating.
If anyone can figure out how BASE resolve is calculated (not abilities or talents that effect it) I would be very interested to know as some truly monstrous builds I am tweaking rely on resolve as a mechanic.

EDIT: Resolve "Might" be 2+fellowship bonus I just made a new character and noticed that most characters have resolve 2+fellowship bonus I haven't tested this extensively yet though

[Daleorn]

From what I've seen in game Resolve seems to be 1 + Fel Bonus not including abilities, talents, gear, etc.

Edit: Playing on core, not sure if base Resolve is affected by that

THere are NUMEROUS ways to gain Resolve.
THe most effective is a psyker. Word of emperor i think.... Henrix has it. Its almost broken since it stacks

Officers are also great at stacking resolve fast. Seize the initiative will let your officers go first. You can use your officers to buff your other officers with voice of command and air of authority. With the compounding buffs officers can start giving out big buffs and turns to your damage dealers who can clean up.

with the finest hour upgrades that give ap on kill you can just decimates hordes of enemies. With both officers and cassia you can give out finest hour 3 times in round 1 really tipping the odds in your favor. Not including all the turns from bring it down or at all costs.

Ive hardly used at all costs effectively so maybe next thing I try is a psyker officer focused on resolve building. Air of Authority gives more resolve the more resolve the caster has.

Master Tactician also has an ability to raise resolve by 1 for every 5 stacks of their buff they get.

This is hilariously OP when combined with a Sanctic Psyker's basic ability, which also gives resolve.

Combine with Sanctic Staff, which gets buffs based on how much resolve you have (at my highest I have had it doing between 1 and 200 damage, and it's heroic version doing 630 damage), and you get a resolve pumping monster who can murder everything in a 3x3 square thanks to Emperor's Wrath.

I just entered into second tier, I can only imagine how ridiculous it gets.

Vanguards get extra resolve from being attacked through their base ability.

Something is very wrong with this ability. My Henrix PR2 with 12 resolve did 170-170 (not 1-170) AoE damage with it. Calculations are messed up.
