Too Human - Resistances, Armor, Dodging and Avoiding Death Strategies

If you've recently found yourself banging your head against your controller wondering why a game whose controls seem so simple can be so difficult and challenge, welcome to the real Too Human.
By the time you've reached level 50 and played a few online games, you've started to realize that there are a lot of things in Too Human that can kill you. Even if you have a few Epic pieces, you'll still find a challenge around every corner.
Fortunately, there are ways to increase your longevity and avoid the dreaded Valkyrie cut scene, not to mention the 2 million plus equipment repair bill.

Armor and Health

SONIC BOOM EFFECT

Pretty standard stuff here. The more Armor you have, the more damage you'll absorb. The more Health you have, the more damage you can sustain without a trip to Valhalla.

Dodging

Although it may seem odd that a missile exploding beside you won't hurt you as long as you curl into a ball and roll out of the way, that's the truth of it. Stop taking those missiles right in the noggin and simply roll away. This also works for Troll stomps.

The only thing this doesn't do is cause you to avoid status effects. So if a Troll has a Slow effect, you might escape the damage from the stomp, but the effect will still hit you. Jumping will help you avoid both, but don't try jumping into oncoming missiles...I've made that mistake one too many times.

Resistances

Not all attacks are equal. It's a good idea to get familiar with what kind of damage each type of mob in Too Human causes.

Goblins cause Slash Damage.

Dark Elves cause Piercing Damage.

Trolls cause Blunt Damage.

Undead cause Blunt Damage.

So what does this all mean? Well if you find yourself fighting in Helheim against the Undead often, it's generally a good idea to try and max out your Blunt Resistance. The same applies for Dark Elves and Piercing Resistance. Increase the proper resistances or even having multiple sets of gear depending on the situation, will help you negate a lot of incoming damage and increase the likelihood you'll survive the encounter.

AOE Defensive Charms

Try equipping and activating charms that will do Area of Effect (AOE) procs. For instance, I use the Gravity Well Charm combined with an EMP Pulse Charm. This does two things, if I'm causing a whack of hits, chances are a Gravity Well will open up and suck everyone up...boom I lived with very little effort! If that doesn't proc, and I start getting hit, my EMP pulse will go off stunning everyone around me and allowing me to make a quick withdrawal.

Think of different combinations to suit your style and you'll be rocking any level you want in no time.
