Magic Resistance is a stat that reduces (or increases, if negative) a percentage of magical damage a unit takes from spells and magic attacks. Every unit is capable of gaining or losing magic resistance, and most units start with a small amount of base magic resistance. A hero's magic resistance can be passively increased with talents, certain items, and some abilities. The magic resistance of any unit can also be temporarily increased or reduced with some abilities.

Definition
For illusions, all Magic Resistance Modifiying sources will be set to 0, since illusions do not benefit from magic resistance bonus.

The magical damage multiplier is applied to all incoming magical damage sources to calculate the total magic damage received, after being reduced by  damage barrier sources.

Equations
The total magic resistance displayed on the HUD and the incoming magical damage multiplier can be defined as: Total Magic Resistance = 1 - (Magical Damage Multiplier) Magical Damage Multipler = [1 - Negation Multiplier × (Base Magic Resistance + × )] × $$\prod_{i=1}^{n}$$(1 - Magic Resistance Modifiers i )

Each source of magic resistance acts as a incoming magic damage multiplier that work independently from each other. Because of this, combination of multiple magic resistance sources that are individually less than 100% is also effectively less than 100%. The magic resistance displayed in HUD is calculated from the final multiplier, after all magic resistance effects is accounted for. The total magic resistance displayed on the HUD and the incoming magical damage multiplier can be defined as:
 * For example, source that "increase magic resistance by 30%" or simply states "+30% Magic resistance" means that it acts as a  incoming magic damage multiplier.
 * They work independently from each other, meaning apply multiple magic resistance effects is equivalent to apply their corresponding magic damage multiplier in a multiplicative manner.
 * A unit that has a +30% Magic resistance and another +40% Magic resistance means that it has a  incoming magic damage multiplier. It will only take 42 damage when a 100 magic damage instance is dealt to it.
 * Activating will reduce the magic damage a hero is taking by half, regardless of how much magic resistance it has.
 * In other direction, a unit that has a -40% Magic resistance and another -60% Magic resistance means that it has a  incoming magic damage multiplier.
 * grants 100% magic resistance, which acts as a  incoming magic damage multiplier. When it stacks with other magic resistance sources, the final incoming magic damage multiplier is always 0 (due to multiplication with 0). Thus, the affected unit will always take 0 magic damage, no matter what other source of negative magic resistance it has.
 * A unit with a  incoming magic damage multiplier will be displayed as having -124% magic resistance.


 * For base magic resistance,


 * For other magic resistance sources,

In full equation,

Actual Magic Damage Received
certain calculations should link to damage manipulation instead. Still figuring out a better way to present this

The total or actual magic damage dealt is equal to how much health a target immediately loses as a direct result. The incoming damage received is calculated by the following factors, listed in the order of their applications:


 * Actual Magical Damage Received
 * Total Magical Damage
 * - Damage absorbed by
 * - Magic Damage Block
 * × Incoming Magic Damage Multiplier
 * - Magic Damage Barrier
 * × Other generic incoming damage manipulation Sources
 * × Other unique incoming damage manipulation Sources

In equation form:


 * Actual Magical Damage Received = [ (Total Magical Damage - Damage absorbed by - Magic Damage Block) × Incoming Magic Damage Multiplier - Magic Damage Barrier] × Other incoming damage manipulation Sources

The Total Magical Damage can be amplified by the damage dealer's generic outgoing damage manipulation (e.g. spell amplification) before other calculations are performed.

Due to this order, a unit affected by and  will suffer damage to its mana pool even though it will take no damage anyway. Similarly, any magic damage block source will be triggered even though no damage will be taken.

Spell Immunity


A unit having 100% magic resistance neither equals being spell immune nor debuff immune. Therefore, all three of these mechanics are separate and different mechanics.

The biggest difference with Magic Resistance is that Spell Immune units do not interact with spell damage at all, while magic resistance reduces incoming magical damage from abilities.

Spell immunity usually are granted to some units as an extra layer of protection, usually on ward-type units, or in combination with invulnerability.

Base Magic Resistance
Base magic resistance consists of one fixed value set for each unit individually, and it can be a negative number. Unlike other source of magic resistance, it can be affected by Base Magic Resistance Negation and increased by.

The final base magic resistance can be defined as:

Final Base = Negation Multiplier × (Base + × )


 * Each point of grants  base magic resistance bonus.
 * The bonus amount from is added directly to the base amount. It is not a separate instance of magic resistance.
 * Aside from heroes, the only currently known unit that can benefit from is the Spirit Bear.
 * Base Magic Resistance Negation is applied after the bonus from.
 * At level 4 can reduce this base magic resistance to 0, no matter how much  the unit has.

Base Magic Resistance Negation
Base Magic Resistance Negation is a mechanic that remove a percentage of the base magic resistance on the target. Other magic resistance bonus sources are not affected.

It is a multiplier for the base magic resistance. It is not a magic resistance source and thus does not "stack" with any magic resistance source.

Currently, there is only 1 ability with this mechanic: (and 's )

For heroes with % base magic resistance, applies a base magic resistance negation multiplier of, reducing the base magic resistance down to.

Modifying Magic Resistance
Each source of magic resistance acts as an incoming magical damage multiplier that works independently of each other. A source that increases magic resistance by 30% (or ) acts as a   incoming magical damage multiplier and can be defined as:

= 1 - Magical Damage Multiplier

Since magic resistance sources work independently of each other, multiple magic resistance sources apply their corresponding magical damage multiplier multiplicatively and can be defined as:

Magical Damage Multiplier = $$\prod_{i=1}^{n}$$(1 - Magic Resistance Modifiers i )

Increasing Sources


Debuff Immunity
Debuff Immunity stops most effects of debuffs' effects on a unit without dispelling the debuffs while granting magic resistance bonus as an effect. The following abilities grant debuff immunity and magic resistance bonus.

Talents
With the % magic resistance and no other sources of magic resistance, the following heroes with bonus magic resistance talents effectively have their magic resistance increased up to:

Besides these, the following heroes have talents that increase the magic resistance of the units they summon

Items
These items grant bonus percentage-based magic resistance values to the hero who has them equipped.

Stacking

 * Example 1:
 * Magic Resistance Bonus and Magical Damage Multiplier
 * with level 4 and has a  equipped. Without factoring in the base magic resistance increase by, what is his current magic resistance?
 * Base hero magic resistance:
 * Bonus magic resistance: :, :


 * Final Magic Damage Multiplier


 * All incoming magical damage dealt to will now be multiplied by . His current total  magic resistance in this example is 1 -  = %.


 * Example 2:
 * Magic Resistance Reduction and Magical Damage Multiplier
 * is now affected by two magic resistance reduction sources, level 4, a level 4 and.
 * Without factoring in the base magic resistance increase by, what is her current magic resistance?
 * Base hero magic resistance:
 * Magic resistance reduction: : -, : -, -


 * Final Magic Damage Multiplier
 * = (1 - ) * (1 - - ) * (1 - - )


 * All incoming magical damage dealt to will now be multiplied by  . Her current total  magic resistance in this example is 1 -  = %.
 * The ethereal magic resistance reduction is not factored into the calculations because has a higher magic resistance reduction value than.

Effective Health
The total amount of magic damage a unit can take due to magic resistance is known as Effective HP (or EHP). Despite each source of magic resistance increasing the magic resistance value less the higher it is and making them seem less effective, each source increases the unit's effective HP against magic damage by their base value.

A unit with 0% magic resistance has 100% effective HP against magical damage, which means magical damage equaling 100% of its health is required to kill it. All heroes have % magic resistance by default, making their effective HP against magical damage %.

This definition of EHP assumes all damage taken is magic damage. EHP against physical damage (e.g. basic hero attacks etc.) is modified by armor.

Effective HP against magical damage is defined as

EHP = CurrentHP / Final Magic Damage Multiplier


 * Example 1
 * is Level 6 and has a health, what is her EHP against magical damage?
 * Base magic resistance:


 * EHPmagic


 * has EHP against magical damage in this example.


 * Example 2
 * from Example 1 now is affected by two magic resistance reduction sources, a level 4 and level 4 . What is her EHP against magical damage now?
 * Health:
 * Base magic resistance:
 * Magic resistance reduction: : -, : -


 * Final Magic Damage Multiplier
 * = (1 - ) * (1 - - ) * (1 - - )


 * EHPmagic


 * has EHP against magical damage in this example.
