Understanding Resolve in Rogue Legacy 2

If you enjoyed the first Rogue Legacy, chances are you've already started digging into the sequel. It's just as challenging, if not more so, but there's plenty of content to wade through. You'll still have to ensure your Heir is as powerful as possible if you want to tackle everything the game throws at you. With that in mind, Resolve can be a confusing stat in Rogue Legacy 2. Despite that, it’s actually one of the most important stats you need to concern yourself with in the game. In this guide, we’ll help you better understand Resolve, as well as break down what you can do to increase your Heir’s Resolve as you play through Rogue Legacy 2.

What is Resolve?

First, let’s get a basic understanding of this particular stat. Resolve essentially boils down to the confidence that your current character has in their own abilities. Resolve is indicated using the small emblem that looks like a white flame, right next to your level indicator. You can see it at any point in a run, and there are a few things you can do to improve it.

Basically, think of Resolve as your character’s effectiveness at using their different abilities and powers. The higher the number is, the better off they’ll be. As such, it’s important to get your character’s Resolve as high as possible if you really want to equip yourself for a good run.

How to Increase Resolve

As we mentioned above, increasing Resolve is fairly easy, and there are a number of ways you can increase that number with each run. First, you can increase your starting Resolve quickly and easily with the Psychiatrist upgrade in the skill tree. The Archaeology Camp upgrade is also useful as it reduces the cost of Resolve when using Relics. It can reduce the cost by 1 percent for each rank that you unlock.
