Resisting Horror

[narcomanic]

Is the Horror effect game-mechanically classified as a debuff, so would stacking debuff resistance trinkets on a Hero help against it, or is its landing just completely random? Seems a bit odd that it'd be the only DOT attack that can't be reliably resisted.

Just use some laudanum. It's not that often that a horror effect occurs.

Speak for your own RNG, I'd need about 12 laudanum in a single fight against a ghoul, since they keep spamming Howl and it inflicts Horror about 90% of the time. Which is why I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ asked.

It was originally an unavoidable status effect, but now it can be resisted. How is not currently known. It have became noticed that heroes with higher Virtue chance are more resist to Horror,than minimum chance to resist horror is 1% as it is minimum virtue cap and maximum is 60%.

Tho, if a Ghoul manages to stack it 3 times on you in a fight, you should really consider a stunning team as this enemy as a relatively low stun resist overall.
