Ignore Resist Knockback
Ignore Resist Knockback is an offensive stat that reduces enemy Resist Knockback percentage before Knock Back application is calculated. It preserves your ability to push targets back, but cannot lower target resistance below 0%.
How It Works
When you attack a target:
- The target's Resist Knockback is reduced by your Ignore Resist Knockback
- The target's remaining Resist Knockback cannot go below
0 - The remaining Resist Knockback is subtracted from your base Knockback chance
This ordering means Ignore Resist Knockback is most effective when the target has significant Resist Knockback to strip away. If the target has no Resist Knockback, stacking Ignore Resist Knockback provides no benefit for the Knockback portion of your attacks.
Ignore Resist Knockback only affects the normal resist calculation. It does not guarantee movement in PvP or against some bosses.

Notes and Tips
- Subtracts from Resist Knockback first: Ignore Resist Knockback reduces the target's Resist Knockback stat, which is then subtracted from base Knockback chance. It does not bypass Resist Knockback directly.
- Cannot create negative resist: If your Ignore Resist Knockback exceeds the target's Resist Knockback, the target's remaining Resist Knockback is floored at
0, not pushed into negative values. - Works best against high Resist Knockback targets: The stat only matters when the target has Resist Knockback to strip. Against targets with no Resist Knockback, this stat has no effect on Knockback chance.
- Does not force movement: Ignore Resist Knockback improves the chance calculation, but it does not guarantee that the target will move.
