The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Fight Strategy:

Take advantage of Loretta's relatively low stance to get in jump attacks and charged heavy attacks. Learn one or two of her attacks that you can consistently dodge and punish, and you'll be able to reliably stagger her. Use these staggers to get in more charged heavy attacks.

Try to draw Loretta over to the confined area up the stairs to the left as you enter the arena. The central edifice can be used for cover against attacks, especially when healing. Meanwhile, Loretta's movement will be limited which will help keep her at melee range.

Loretta's parry timings are relatively easy to learn, especially for her Leap Attack which you can bait out by maintaining a medium distance from her when dodging her spells. Although you can't get in a critical hit after a parry, you can use that time to get in plenty of damage.
