Difference between lvl 5 and 6 characters

[Loomi]

Is there any? higher stats? better stress resist?

[Kyaw]

Yes. From what I know, it would be increased Stat resistances. So Lvl 6 Heroes are always > Lvl 5 Heroes. (minus the Quirks that they have)

[nuther]

I think its better stress resist. My fresh level fives walked into a dungeon and 2 of them came within a couple rounds of heart attacks. I think it was a dark run, still it may be wise to send fresh level fives in with stress resist trinkets.

According to the game, "resolve exp serves as a direct resistance to stress"

[Istvan]

Stress resist and general resists (bleed, blight, debuff, etc.) increase with each resolve level. Since gear and skills can be maxed at resolve 4, that's the benefit of resolve 5 and 6.

[geepope]

I also believe the chance to get virtues instead of affliction scales with resolve level.

[Borealis]

To quantify it, you get 10% to each resist with each resolve level.

Does deathblow resist also improve?

Nope, it's always 67% baseline.

Everything in the resistances box to the right of the center of the character sheet. If you mouse over any of them, it will say "x% base + y% resolve level" 60% at resolve 6!

It used to, but there was a slight issue with heroes becoming immortal with a few resolve levels and trinkets. :P

Yeah, there is still a video of a badass Bounty Hunter becoming a god of death and soloing a boss because he had 107% Deathblow Resist.

[Squirting Elephant]

Imo, Deathblow resist should be capped at 95%.

So at level 6 you have 60% stress resist? So if I add 2 stress resist trinkets, I become immune to stress? So I could just go with 2x vestal (or 1 ocultist), 2x man-at-arms and facetank everything while being stress imune?

[Borealis]

STress resist does not appear on the character sheet, and I do not think it goes up by 10 % each level. I am sure there is a cap to stress resist as well, since apparently 100% trap GR can fail...

[Zadown]

My level 4 Vestal with double ancestral Vestal trinkets still takes some stress damage, but it is fairly minor.

Thanks for all the replies people, makes more sense to me now!
