Resolve

Resolve is a representation of the Heir's confidence in their own ability. It can be increased by certain risky actions, and is decreased by acquiring relics and wearing heavier gear. When Resolve drops below 100%, you will lose Max HP by an equivalent percentage.

Base Resolve is 100%, with up to 125% bonus Resolve granted based on your Weight Class. You can upgrade your max Resolve through the Manor, but picking up Relics or starting with them will decrease your Resolve by an amount determined by the relic. Resolve can be reduced all the way to 0, whereupon the player will have 1 HP, but relics can still be acquired beyond this point with no further penalty.

Weight Class

Wearing heavier gear affects your Weight Class, which are thresholds in your Max Equipment Weight that affect your Resolve.

If you're at 20% Equipment Weight or lower -- that is, if your combined armor weight is 20% or lower than your total Equip Weight -- you'll be in the "Light" class, and will get +125% bonus Resolve. Bonus resolve decreases the heavier you get, with each heavier weight class giving 25 less resolve.

Weight Class	Weight%	Bonus Resolve
Light	0 - 20%	125
Medium	21 - 40%	100
Heavy	41 - 60%	75
Chunky	61% - 100%	50

Encumbrance Limits

By default, the Weight Class thresholds increase every 20% (i.e., 20%, 40%, 60%). These are called Encumbrance Limits.

You can upgrade them with the Manor upgrade Aerobics Classroom, which increases the Encumbrance Limits by -1% per upgrade. This goes up to a maximum of -10%, which would make your thresholds increase every 30% instead (i.e., 30%, 60%, 90%).

The table below shows the absolute maximum Encumbrance Limits, after buying all 10 levels of the Aerobics Classroom upgrade:

Max Encumbrance Limits

Weight Class	Weight%	Bonus Resolve
Light	0 - 30	125
Medium	31 – 60	100
Heavy	61 – 90	75
Chunky	91 - 100	50

Relics

Certain Relics increase or interact with Resolve.

Note on key Relics: The Onyx and Pearl key Relics in Pishon Dry Lake will refund their Resolve costs after being used. However, Lily of the Valley Relics from Kerguelen Plateau can be kept even after unlocking the boss doors. Only upon entering the Boss Chamber itself will the lilies be taken from the player and their Resolve costs refunded.
