Absorbs damage is a unique stat which only comes from equippable items or from various [[Atmas]] within [[Abyssea]] content. There are various forms of damage absorption listed on equipment:
*Occasionally absorbs '''''damage''''' - will absorb all forms of damage taken ({{physical}} ''physical'', {{magical}} ''magical'', {{breath}} ''breath'') upon activation.
*Occasionally absorbs '''''physical damage''''' - will only absorb {{physical}} ''physical'' damage taken upon activation.
*Occasionally absorbs '''''magical damage''''' - will only absorb {{magical}} ''magical'' damage taken upon activation.
*Occasionally absorbs {{elements}} '''''element-x elemental damage''''' - will only absorb the {{elements}} ''specific elemental'' damage listed in the item description upon activation.
