How to Apply Resolve
Some Skills, Items, and Passives can cause this effect, and some can also enhance this effect, such as the 
Colossal Spiritborn Glyph or 
Band of First Breath.
Here are some examples of Skills or Passives related to the Resolve Status Effect:
| Class | Skill | Passive |

How to Recognize Resolve
Resolve appears as a stacked buff icon near your skill bar.
The icon displays:

- The remaining duration (if applicable, depending on the source)
Taking direct damage removes one stack at a time.
Additional Information About Resolve
High-uptime Resolve builds gain excellent durability, especially when paired with armor, block, and damage reduction sources.
- Resolve stacks provide consistent mitigation in extended combat.
- Losing Resolve stacks makes you more vulnerable, which makes careful positioning and defensive skill use very important.
- Resolve does not increase your damage directly; however, some Aspects or Paragon nodes offer additional bonuses when Resolve is active.
