EM is a disrupting damage type in Starfield, which can be countered with the most EM Damage Resistant spacesuits.
EM, or electromagnetic damage in Starfield, is likely the one among the three damage types that new players will misunderstand off the bat, or even mix up with energy damage. There are certain weapons in the game, like the Novablast Disruptor, that can seriously impair the player and enemies.
Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate this annoyance by focusing on good EM Damage Resistance. It’s definitely not a priority stat when it comes to spacesuits, given that EM damage isn’t all that common compared to physical for example, but the stat should be as high as possible—if players can afford it. The best offense is a good defense, and with that, here’s which Starfield spacesuits have the best EM Damage Resistance.
The 10 Starborn suits will not be considered for this ranking, as they consistently rank above all other suits.
This list is still a work in progress, and not all spacesuits have been included. Here are the suits that will be added later: 7 Mantis Spacesuit
At the bottom end of the EM resistance values is the odd and unique Mantis Spacesuit, acquired from completing the Mantis questline. Hate it or love it, this spacesuit does pack a punch, and with a commendable 100 points of resistance against EM paired with its other good damage resistance stats, it’s hard to argue against it.
The Mantis quest can be started by picking up a note from a random enemy’s body (likely a Spacer), hinting towards a hidden treasure on a faraway planet. It’s also the quest where players can hope to find the Razorleaf ship. 6 Mercury Spacesuit
Despite being in an exhibition hall on Earth of all places, the Mercury Spacesuit just keeps on giving when it comes to its damage resistance stats.
