Resistance: Difference between revisions

The '''resistance''' of an enemy is a parameter that is representative of the damage they can sustain before they are defeated.

In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', this parameter is equal to the number of standard punches (without power-ups, not charged and without jumping) needed to defeat the enemy. It is obtained from the EVE.MLT files in ''[[Rayman Designer]]''.

While a standard punch inflicts 1 hit point (3 with a [[Golden Fist]]), a charged punch can inflict from 1 to 4 hit points depending on the charging time (respectively 3 to 6 hit points with a [[Golden Fist]]), and a punch when jumping inflicts 3 hit points (5 with a [[Golden Fist]]). This, however, doesn't apply to bosses, who only suffer one damage per punch in any case.

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], a standard punch inflicts 1 hit point, and a charged punch 2 hit points. With a [[Golden Fist|Gold Fist]], all punches inflict 2 hit points, irrespective or whether they are charged or not. Jumping does not affect the strength of [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|fist]], though it increases its range.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the resistance is defined as the number of standard [[energy ball]]s needed to defeat the enemy, or its equivalent if other means are employed.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', unlike the other versions, Ly's [[Silver Lum]]s upgrading [[Rayman]]'s fist also increase the damage inflicted by it. While a standard white energy ball inflicts 1/9 (0.111…) hit point, a standard blue energy ball inflicts 1/3 (0.333…) hit point, and a charged blue energy ball inflicts 1 hit point. The damage inflicted by yellow energy balls is the same as in the other versions.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the resistance is defined as the number of standard punches needed to defeat the enemy.

While a standard punch inflicts 1 hit point (2 with a [[Heavy Metal Fist]]), a charged punch can inflict from 1 to 3 hit points depending on the charging time (respectively 2 to 6 hit points with a [[Heavy Metal Fist]]). The damage [[Rayman]] deals with his fists does not rise continuously with the charging time, but rather goes up stepwise. For instance, when fighting against a standard [[Hoodmonger]], [[Rayman]] can deal damage worth 1, 1.25, ..., 2.75, 3 hit points. The spacing between the possible values depends on the enemy.<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman 3 HP system'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cklzo5Up6Vo</ref>

While a standard slap inflicts 1 hit point, [[mosquito]] shots inflict 1/4 (0.25) hit point. They can, however, be used to defeat enemies which cannot be harmed physically such as [[jellyfish]].
