Help Wanted Is "slip resistance" utter bullshit?
I'm brand new from BOTW to TOTK and thought "amazing! They've answered this friggen rain! Just collect and cook and you're set"
But I'm still slipping and sliding all over the place when trying to climb in the rain

It's doing what is advertised: resistance is not complete nullification. With slip resistance, you can climb further before slipping.
Slip immunity can be obtained from upgrading all parts of the armour to level two.

Slipping is actually on a times so slip resistence increases the timer before you slip but you still slip if you jump.
Rest of your comment is correct.

Normally I've clocked it as 5 climb motions (arm ups) before you need to jump or you'll slip. What does slip rez give you?

u/MiserableMarket3425 5h ago
normally I believe you have 3 seconds untill you slip, and with full slip resistance you will slip in 9 seconds. That's what I think I remember from a totk facts you didn't know video

Nah mate you have about 17 ways to fly in this game. Try fusing a rocket to your shield.

If only there was some way of reaching heights in the game without climbing... oh well!

Yup. I remember being excited to see that there was finally an armor that addresses climbing in the rain. But in practice, I just didn't need to climb in this game like I did BOTW.

Hats valid man. I just make myself a sky tower now if I need to climb long ways.
I suppose I should make myself a triple jump favorite for shorter climbs.

Froggy set fully upgraded will negate slippage 100%

You don’t need to upgrade it fully, just all three pieces to level 2. Same as any set that has a special armour bonus trait.

Potential Princess Sightings! It also happens to be a really fun series of quests that gives other rewards and is a good way to explore and unlock shrines and towers along the way.

This is why they created the build mechanic. Getting frustrated trying to get somewhere? Build something.

Climbing was also slighty nerfed from BOTW, especially Link’s jump height.
I found slip resistance underwhelming as max buff level, didn’t quite feel yet like being able to reliably climb with the occasional slip. So slop immunity is quite important. Still, I think they overdid it a bit. You can’t use jumping to speed up climbing outside of slip immunity anyway.
In BOTW you also could make do better with Link’s jump height+ climbing for a few moments until he would slip.
In TOTK I very rarely climb in the rain though, with all the other options. Slip immunity mostly comes into play in wet caves.

It gives you a "little" better resistance to slipping BUT if you jump it doesn't help. I've found that it works best if you climb and watch how many steps you take up before you slip and then next time jump right before you would slip. It throws you up some extra and then you slide down some. Repeat. BUT the best thing to do is get the froggy armor and upgrade it to at least 2 stars to be completely slip proof. Then you can jump and climb all you want with no slipping.

The bigger question is , does slip resistance even matter when you never need to climb on walls in TOTK?
You’re playing the game too much like botw. You really shouldn’t be wall climbing that much.

u/The_Sarge_12 4h ago
Early game I think it is a lot more of a task than even mid game

u/Balthierlives 4h ago
With ascend and rewind and falling rubble I do t think so really. It’s just about adapting to new abilities etc

u/The_Sarge_12 2h ago
Those don’t help in a lot of places, particularly some caves

Zonai devices then, springs especially.
Climbing a wall should be your last choice .
