	Currently, the only damage Players can become immune to with 100% uptime is Indirect Poison, utilizing [[Battle Chemistry]]'s L30 Treasure Effect "Your Extra Heart mutation grants you -50% Indirect Poison Vulnerability and randomly repairs broken bones over time" paired with [[Druid]]'s L125 Treasure Effect "Fill With Bile reduces target's Indirect Poison Vulnerability and Indirect Acid Vulnerability -50% for 3 minutes. ~~(This effect does not stack with itself.)~~"		Currently, the only damage Players can become immune to with 100% uptime is Indirect Poison, utilizing [[Battle Chemistry]]'s L30 Treasure Effect "Your Extra Heart mutation grants you -50% Indirect Poison Vulnerability and randomly repairs broken bones over time" paired with [[Druid]]'s L125 Treasure Effect "Fill With Bile reduces target's Indirect Poison Vulnerability and Indirect Acid Vulnerability -50% for 3 minutes."

	Using [[Ice Magic]]'s Cryogenic Freeze and a combination of armor, potions, treasure effects, and other reductions can result in the player being temporarily Immune to Crushing, Slashing, Piercing, Cold, Electricity, Fire, Poison, and/or Trauma. This comes at the cost of freezing yourself and being unable to take any direct actions, although reflect damage ~~and~~ potions will still work.

This comes at the cost of freezing yourself and being unable to take any direct actions, although reflect damage/potions will still work.

	Players can nearly become immune to Darkness damage (7% damage taken) by utilizing [[Sword]]'s Flashing Strike modded with "Flashing Strike deals +35% damage and gives you 50% resistance to Darkness damage for 7 seconds," [[Meditation]] #63 for 25% Resistance, and an [[Umrad Coat]] for 18% Resistance.
