Debilitation works similarly to the negative status effects of JRPGs, like sleep, silence, and poison in the Final Fantasy franchise. In this guide, I’ll explain how to increase Debilitation Resistance in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
How to boost Debilitation Resistance in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Armor increases Debilitation Resistance
The easiest way to boost Debilitation Resistance in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is byequipping armor with a +x%under theDebilitation Resistance tab. Each icon represents a Debilitation (refer to the image above), and as far as we know, there isno cap on the resistances.
Imagine this scenario: Debilitation has aninvisible barthat goes up to 100. Every enemy debilitation ability fills that invisible bar by 10. If you have a 10% resistance to that debilitation, then instead of +10 to your “Debilitation bar,” you’ll receive a +9 (making it 9/100). Once you fullyreach the cap, the enemies willapply their debilitationto you.
Ideally, you want a100% Debilitation Resistanceon your character, so you’ll never have to worry about getting anystatus effects.

Rings grant Debilitation Immunity
Some rings grant the Arisen or the main Pawn with Debilitation Immunity. It’s an easy way to cover two Debilitation immunities so your armor can handle the rest. Here are all of the rings I found that grant Debilitation Immunity during my playthrough:
While playing Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, I realized thatDebilitation Resistanceis muchmore importantthan Elemental Resistance, and thesame applies to Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Some Deblitations essentiallylessen your elemental resistanceand increase your chances to receive specific status effects (e.g. Drenched = Lightning and Ice Resistance Decrease + more chance to get Unconscious and Frostbite status effect). In conclusion, I recommendmaxing your Debilitation Resistancerather than elemental.
