Status Effects

Status effects can be added to your techniques via status effect elements, and do an assortment of things to change your stats, or alter the rules of battle. The higher the effects tier, the stronger and more expensive the effect is. When the description says an effect stacks, it means you can infect someone with it multiple times.

Status effects come in two forms: Ailments and Augments. Ailments are generally placed on attacks to negatively affect the enemy in some way, while Augments are often placed on heals to give beneficial effects to the person they're used on. Please note that you are currently allowed to place augments on a normal attack as long as you specify the augment specifically affects yourself, and not the target.

Re-using a timed status effect that is already active does not extend its timer.

When rolling for a random ailment or augment, if a character receives one that is not map-specific but also serves no purpose at the moment, it is rerolled.

  • Disarm: You drop your main hand weapon. It lands on the space you currently occupy. You may pick it up for a quick action and 5 STM if you are standing on this space. If a character ends their turn on a space containing a disarmed weapon, that weapon can be picked up from an adjacent space. In all other circumstances, weapons need to be picked up while on top of the space they were disarmed at. If in a battle with allies, your ally can retrieve your Disarmed weapon for 15 STM, and can return it to you for 5 STM. An enemy can retrieve your weapon for 20 STM. Weapons CANNOT be stolen in this way. They return to their owner at the end of battle.
  • Soul Crush: You lose 1 charge.
  • Unfocused: -5% to your Vital Hit chances.

  • Berserk: Your damage is increased by 15%, but you can only attack the closest character to you at the start of your turn, regardless of whether they're an ally or enemy. If more than one character is at the same distance, roll for who you're going after. In addition, every non-attacking technique you attempt has a 40% chance of becoming a random attack from your techs instead. Lasts 2d2 turns, unless you're in werewolf form (then it's permanent).
  • Charm: Whoever inflicted the ailment can control your actions. However, the inflicter cannot control your reactions. If someone you have 6* affection for is attacked by you, you have 50% of breaking free of this ailment; if someone you have 7* for is attacked by you, you automatically break free. Lasts 2d3 actions. Charm cannot be used in 1v1.

  • Shock: Reduces Attack, Defense, Accuracy, and Speed 5 points. Stacks 3 times.
  • Taunt: Forces the target to attack the user of this status ailment with a randomized offensive (damaging) move via a dice roll. This only affects the first action taken by the target in their turn. Their other actions are free to use as they wish. If multiple users use this move on one target, the target attacks the last user of it. Taunt cannot be used as your Parry status effect, as that would create too many problems.
