Status Ailments Explained

Applies a Negative Effect to the Afflicted Target

Venom Affliction

Status ailments are negative effects that impact the target. These effects range from taking damage over time to being unable to use the Regenerative item.

Both players and foes can be afflicted with status ailments, though boss resistances may vary.

Bar Indicates the Status Ailment Duration

Attacks that inflict Status Ailments will continue to build up, as notably seen by the Status Indicator close to the target's health bar, and will continue to build up as your attacks connect.

Do note that the Status Ailments themselves do not take effect unless the bar flashes red, as this indicates that the ailment has been applied.

The bar will fill even if the Status Ailment that you're trying to apply hasn't taken effect yet, so keep attacking until the Status Ailment bar reaches the required threshold for its effects to activate.

If you often find yourself getting hit by attacks that induce status ailments, you can consume vaccines beforehand to boost your resistance to a specific status ailment.

However, if the status ailment has already been inflicted, you can use consumables such as Sunblight Suppressant to remove it immediately.

List of All Items

Choose the Right Defensive Formae

Shield of Stupor

Defensive Formae have varying resistances to Status Ailments, with some stats being higher than others. For example, Shield of Stupor is exceptionally well at Wound Status Ailments.

Since Defensive Formae can be changed at any time, try using a different form if the one you currently have equipped is not up to the task.

Let Yourself Get Knocked Out

If you are unable to remove a status ailment, you can allow yourself to be knocked out and then be revived by your partner through a restorative offering. While it carries a certain degree of risk, it can ultimately prove beneficial in specific situations.

Transform Your Weapon

Transform your Weapon

You can choose to modify your weapon so that it applies a status ailment when you successfully land an attack. This makes it easier to inflict a status ailment on an enemy.

However, note that reduced stats may lead to lower overall damage output if the status ailment does not take effect. Keep this in mind when facing a boss that is resistant to the ailment you are trying to inflict.

List of All Weapons

Use Formae

Use Formae
Some Formae can inflict Status Ailments, at the cost of Ichor. They are one of the most effective methods of inflicting Status Ailments, as they can be used with minimal restrictions, with only your Ichor resource acting as a limitation.

Use Weapon Salves

Poisonous Weapon Salve Poisonous Weapon Salve Petrifying Weapon Salve Petrifying Weapon Salve Stalling Weapon Salve Stalling Weapon Salve

Weapon Salves can also be applied to your weapon to temporarily give it the ability to inflict a status ailment. It is an effective method of infusing weapons with the capacity to inflict status ailments, as weapon salves are compatible with both normal and transformed weapons.

This is a beneficial feature because it allows users to apply status ailments without committing to transform a weapon. The only drawback is the haze cost, as you would need to purchase weapon salves regularly.
