Description	Reduces incoming Solar damage

Solar Resistance is a Legendary Armor Mod in Destiny 2 that reduces incoming Solar damage when equipped on Chest Armor.

Overview

Solar Resistance is a damage reduction mod that provides protection against Solar-based attacks from enemies. This mod is essential when facing enemies that primarily deal Solar damage, such as Cabal Incendiors or during Solar burn modifiers.

Effects

• Reduces incoming Solar damage by 15% when one copy is equipped
• When two Solar Resistance mods are equipped, the damage reduction increases to approximately 25% due to diminishing returns from stacking

Acquisition

Solar Resistance mods can be obtained through:

• Random drops from legendary engrams
• Vendor purchases when available
• Dismantling legendary armor pieces

Usage

This mod is most effective in the following scenarios:

• Fighting Cabal forces, particularly Incendiors and Scorpius turrets
• During activities with Solar Singe or Solar Burn modifiers
• In Crucible matches against opponents using Solar weapons or subclasses
• When facing Hive Wizards and Knights using Solar attacks

Stacking and Synergy

• Solar Resistance stacks with other damage resistance sources but with diminishing returns
• Can be combined with other elemental resistance mods (Arc Resistance, Void Resistance) for protection against multiple damage types
• Works alongside general damage resistance mods like Concussive Dampener

Energy Cost

• Requires 1 energy to slot into chest armor
• Low energy cost allows for flexibility in mod combinations

Notes

• The effectiveness of resistance mods has changed throughout various updates to Destiny 2
• Elemental resistance mods are generally less effective than specialized resistance mods like Concussive Dampener for their specific damage types
