Status Effects are temporary benefits or hindrances that can be applied to both players and enemies. The effects can be in forms of damage-over-time, healing, or the modification of stats.

Status Effects (Player & Enemy)

Boost ATP

Boost ATP, also known as Shifta, (Template:ATP Up) increases the target's ATP.

Lower ATP

Lower ATP, also known as Jellen, (Template:ATP Down) decreases the target's ATP.

Boost DFP

Boost DFP, also known as Deband, (Template:DFP Up) increases the target's DFP.

Lower DFP

Lower DFP, also known as Zalure, (Template:DFP Down) increases the target's Damage Taken.
(While this did reduce DFP on official, it has been changed on Clem so the target has increased Damage Taken.)

Boost ATA/EVP

Boost ATA/EVP, also known as Zodial, (Template:ATA-EVP Up) increases the target's ATA / EVP.

Lower ATA/EVP

Lower ATA/EVP, also known as Zoldeel, (Template:ATA-EVP Down) decreases the target's ATA / EVP.

Boost TP/MST

Boost TP/MST, also known as Retier, (Template:TP-MST Up) increases the target's TP / MST.

Lower TP/MST

Lower TP/MST, unofficially known as Rendeel, (Template:TP-MST Down) decreases the target's TP / MST.

Burn

Burn (Template:Burn) will deal damage every 2 seconds based on the target's maximum HP for 10 seconds. The effect cannot incapacitate the target.

Poison

Poison (Template:Poison) will deal damage every 3 seconds based on the target's maximum HP for a duration. The effect cannot incapacitate the target.

Virus

Virus, also called Infection, (Template:Infection) will deal damage every 4 seconds based on the target's maximum HP for a duration. The effect cannot incapacitate the target.

Shock

Shock (Template:Shock) will prevent the use of STRIKING and BULLETS.

Silence

Silence (Template:Silence) will prevent the use of TECHNICs.

Freeze

Freeze (Template:Freeze) freezes the target in place and Attacks cannot miss or be guarded. Players can break free from being frozen by repeatedly trying to move.

Sleep

Sleep (Template:Sleep) puts the target to sleep, preventing movement. The target getting hit one time will wake them up.

Stun

Stun (Template:Stun) prevents the target's movement. However, unlike with freeze, a player cannot break free by trying to move.

Confuse

Confuse (Template:Confuse) when applied to players, causes their movements to become erratic and unpredictable. When the effect is applied to enemies, causes them to attack each other.

Incapacitation

Incapacitation (Template:Incapacitation) has a small chance to instantly kill the target.

HP Steal

HP Steal absorbs a certain percent of the damage dealt as HP and restore that to the target.

Status Effects (Player Only)

Charm

Charm (Template:Charm) can be applied only to enemies, and causes them to be attracted to whoever applied the effect.

Reflect Damage

Reflect Damage only results from specific weapons or photon arts. It causes a small percent of the damage dealt to be reflected back to the player.

HP Affects Power

HP Affects Power only results from specific weapons or photon arts. It modifies the amount of damage dealt proportional to remaining HP.

Auto Damage

Auto Damage is only applied to players. It causes the user to take damage every few seconds.

Auto Recovery

Auto Recovery is only applied to players. It causes the target to gain HP every few seconds. If the target is at maximum HP, the healing will continue and build up a "shield" to the player.

Reduce Physical Damage

Reduce Physical Damage is only applied to players by the TECHNIC Dizas. Reduce physical damage for a certain amount of hits.

Reduce TECHNIC Damage

Reduce TECHNIC Damage is only applied to players by the TECHNIC Rentis. Reduce technic damage for a certain amount of hits.

Resisting Status Effects

There are methods that can be utilised to resist Status Effects being applied to your character.

Damage reduction

If an enemy attack deals 0 damage, the Status Effect it carries will not be applied, as the attack is considered the same as a miss. By utilising a high percentage Line Shield and a Rainbow body unit (such as Guardless / Rainbow or Legsless / Rainbow) it is possible to raise your character's MST or DEF high enough to reduce some attack damage from smaller enemies to 0. When trying resist TECHNIC damage, this is usually only possible for Newmans due to their high MST.

Stamina thresholds

For TECHNIC-based enemy attacks, many of these can be resisted if your character has enough STA/End. Enemy TECHNIC attacks start at level 1 on C-rank missions, go up in level by five levels each rank.

Megid does not scale with mission rank, and instead matches the level of Megid that the enemy casts. Deljabans cast Lv1 Megid, which has Incapacitate Lv1; Delp Slami and Jusnagun cast Lv11 Megid, with Incapacitate Lv2, and Carriguines and SEED-Vitace cast Lv21 Megid, with Incapacitate Lv3.

The STA/End required to resist them increases accordingly based on the tech level. The following table shows the amount of STA/End. required to resist Status Effects based on SE level.

In addition, when using this method some Status Effects have a higher STA/End. requirement for full resistance, and some (for instance, Stun from a Grass Assassin, and several Status Effects applied by bosses) cannot be resisted and will apply regardless of your STA/End.

If you do not meet the STA/End. threshold to completely resist Status Effects in this fashion, higher STA will still help reduce the frequency with which these status effects are applied. Subtract your STA/End. from the STA/End. required to fully resist a Status Effect, and the resulting number is the percentage chance of the SE applying on any given hit. Example:

Megid in an S-rank mission requires 24 STA/End. to resist fully. A character with 13 STA/End. would have an 11% chance of being incapacitated by a Megid in this mission. A character with 21 STA/End. would have just a 3% chance to be incapacitated by Megid in the same situation.

Resist Units

There are a number of 7★ body units that provide resistance to certain Status Effects. When equipped in the body slot of your line shield, the unit will provide resistance to the specified Status Effect regardless of the mission rank. In addition, resist units will also resist Status Effects that still apply with the Stamina method - for instance, Grass Assassin Stun can be resisted with a Stun / Resist.
