Fortify
Buff
Fortify status icon
Fortify status icon
You take less damage when hit.
This page is about the buff. For the support gem, see Fortify Support.

Fortify is a buff that grants the player 20% less damage taken from hits for 4 seconds.[1] This does not apply to damage over time, since it does not hit.

Mechanics[ | ]

For more information, see Damage calculation.

#% less Damage taken modifiers are calculated after armour, resistances, and endurance charges.[2]

You can also get a Fortify buff through an amulet anointment called Hardened Scars, which grants Fortify while recovering life from any life/hybrid flask.

The effects of Fortify are affected by increased Buff Effect, which can be obtained through Ichimonji inventory iconIchimonjiIchimonji
