In particular, you can increase your resistance to some things and not others. (Elemental weaknesses and resistances are a no go.) If you want a "shield" type move, that reduces damage against all sources for a limited time, that's fine.
More on this for my Symbiote. Can I say that my Symbiote is highly resistent to Ballistic damage (bullets, etc), but very weak to Vibrations? Vibration is semi-elemental, I guess, being it can accompany a an explosion (fire-like effect) or sound (thunder-like effect.) Attacks which specifically create vibrations would be particularly grueling. Basically, if I were to make a chart...
Vibration-type +100% damage
Ballistic-type -50% Damage
Piercing Type +25% damage *
Slashing Type +25% damage *
Bludgeoning Type -25%
*Chance of getting stuck, active hold (may turn into Debuff later for concentration-free bonus)
The weaknesses outweigh the resistances 2:1, for the sake of easy balancing.
