Status Effects affect both players and monsters alike. They are applied by skills, gear, monster attacks, or environmental effects. All effects have a finite duration and expire when their time is up. Negative effects can also be removed by skills or consumables. Positive effects can only be removed by skills. Certain status effects are able to stack with themselves for additional damage. Stacking does not increase the duration of the effect.

Abnormal Status Tolerance

Abnormal Status Tolerance refers to the the amount of resistance to negative status effects. Found on equipment but some skills also boost tolerance to negative status effects.

  • Bleed Tolerance
  • Frozen Tolerance
  • Poison Tolerance
  • Blind Tolerance
  • Curse Tolerance
  • Confusion Tolerance
  • Slow Down Tolerance
  • Stun Tolerance
  • Sleep Tolerance
  • Stone Curse Tolerance
  • Burn Tolerance
  • All Abnormal Status Tolerance

Positive Effects

Super Armor (Status).png Super Armor

The player is covered by a red and yellow outline. You cannot be knocked back, knocked down, or launched into the air. Grabs like Smasher.png Smasher and Suplex.png Suplex ignore Super Armor and preform their animations if the target isn't immune. There are some skills or casting motions that automatically trigger full or momentary duration of Super Armor. For example:

  • Avengers using the Demonize.png Demonize skill are in continuous Super Armor while transformed.

Several types of Super Armor exist and to not have to have the border effect. There are three main types of Super Armor:

  • Full Super Armor: Lasts until the duration has expired should there be one.
  • Breakable Super Armor: This Super Armor will be disabled once the gauge above its benefactor has been depleted after taking damage. Tends to be indefinite in duration until depleted.
  • Half Super Armor: Super Armor effect will only be applied against ranged attacks. Attacks elsewise will not proc the effect of Super Armor. Can be seen on numerous monsters.

Haste (Status).png Haste

Increases the Movement Speed and Attack Speed of the player.

Blessing (Status).png Blessing

Invincibility (Status).png Invincibility

The player becomes intangible and transparent. You cannot be hit and will not take damage from attacks, but still suffer from other status ailments that were in effect before.

Some skills like Quick Rebound.png Quick Rebound also give the user Invincibility for a little while.

Damage Effects

Damage-type status effects will distribute their damage dealt as damage over time, and may have some additional properties as well. Total damage dealt and the duration of its effects can be increased by using equipment with special effects.

Bleeding (Status).png Bleeding

When inflicting Bleed damage, all of the damage dealt is evenly distributed across 3 seconds and inflicts damage every 0.5 seconds. In addition, Bleeding can also stack, with each stack increasing Bleeding damage dealt by 1%, but no more than 10%.

Burn (Status).png Burn

When inflicting Burn damage, all of the damage dealt is evenly distributed across 5 seconds and inflicts damage every 0.5 seconds. In addition, burned targets will spread 10% of their burn damage onto others within a 150 pixel range around them. Burn can also be countered by Frozen (Status).png Freeze, and will inflict its remaining damage, plus an additional 5%, on afflicted targets immediately.

Electrocution (Status).png Shock

When inflicting Shock damage, 20% of the damage dealt is evenly distributed across 10 seconds and inflicts 10% of that damage of it every second. 10% of the remaining 80% damage dealt is inflicted whenever the afflicted target receives damage within the next 10 seconds, but this effect can only activate once every second.

Poison (Status).png Poison

When inflicting Poison damage, all of the damage dealt is evenly distributed across 5 seconds and deals damage every 0.5 seconds.

Other Effects
