Summon Zombie: Resilience and Resilience Damage reduced

Dealing a large percent of an enemy's health in damage will now deal increased Resilience Damage.
This is also true for players. Having more health will reduce the amount of Resilience Damage you take from big hits.

(i.e. Dealing 50% of an enemy's max health in a single hit will deplete their Resilience entirely. Taking 50% of your max health in a single hit will deplete your Resilience entirely.)

The previous hitstun system has been removed and replaced with Resilience. All Hits also damage a target's Resilience. When Resilience reaches 0, the target becomes staggered for a moment and their Resilience resets to full. Tougher creatures have more Resilience. After 4 seconds without taking Resilience Damage, Resilience will quickly regenerate. Attacks blocked by a shield do not affect Resilience.

Dev Note: If you're familiar with Dark Souls' Poise System, this is similar with the addition of Resilience meters being visible to the player.
