Disable Resist stat

[Kindless]

I'm selling off my unused/unwanted skills to free up space and I saw one of them giving bonus to Disable Resist. I don't recon any debuff being called Disable, is there any? Or does it block give a chance to block every other debuff or what?

This made me thinking. What happens when f.e. a skill that has 100% chance of applying Cripple (or any other debuff) hits a character with 100% chance to block Cripple. Is it additive and the chance to apply is 0% or what?

I think the disable resist is for countering the lock BB/special moves debuff

There are four variations of Disable:
Blockbuster – stops charged BBs from being used, and stops meter gain on BBs that are not fully charged
Special moves – stops ready SMs from being used, and pauses the cooldown on any moves not yet ready for use
Tag-ins – stops the fighter from manually switching out to one of their allies, and pauses the cooldown if applicable
Heal block – prevents Regeneration and Heavy Regeneration from taking effect, but does not remove them

These all fall under Disable, so Disable Resist gives a chance to ignore all of them, though each debuff is applied separately. For example, if you are hit by a critical attack from a fully upgraded No Egrets Parasoul or Bad Ms Frosty Filia normally you would have your BBs, SMs and tag-ins disabled, but with Disable Resist you could ignore one, two or all three of the effects.

Oh and with regards to this, yeah the chance to apply cripple would be 0% because inflicting and resisting are two separate rolls of the dice. A real example is Battle Butt, which has a 100% chance to apply armour break straight away at level 1, but it can still be resisted with as little as 1% armour break resist... around 1% of the time.
