Unofficial fan reference · game data patch 9.0.4 (Oct 15, 2026)

Warhammer 3 units with the most magic (spell) resistance

177 units players can field in a standard roster, one row per unit (its best version there; versions only in the extended roster — Custom Battle with Unit caps off, campaign_exclusive — are left out), patch 9.0.4. Spell (magic) resistance the unit always has: its own value on the unit card plus what its always-on passive abilities add.

COMPUTEDland_units.damage_mod_magic + the sum of stat_resistance_magic (special_ability_phase_stat_effects) of the unit's always-on passive abilities

An always-on passive: passive = true, lasting the whole battle (active_time and phase duration −1, unlimited uses), acting on the unit itself, not switched on by a campaign skill or item, and with no condition that turns it off (special_ability_to_auto_deactivate_flags, …_invalid_usage_flags are empty) and not one that starts weaker and builds up in battle (special_ability_intensity_settings.default_amount below 1). Abilities that only work while wavering, in melee or below half leadership, or that grow as enemies die (the Black Coach's Black Nimbus: 0% up to +40%) are left out. In battle, resistances also stack with skills, items and auras, capped by the game.
