Status Effects are temporary ailments inflicted on units either through Skills or through Passive Abilities.

There are various types of Status Effects ranging from slowing enemies down, inflicting damage-over-time debuffs, or even just casting a root, preventing units from moving.

Note that while these Status Effects are effective against your foes, some of the stronger enemies can dish out the same debilitating debuffs against your party.

Strengthening Effects

Might	Increases damage dealt by 50%. Ends after 20 seconds.
Tenacity	Decreases damage taken by 50%. Ends after 20 seconds.
Rapidity	Increases movement, auto attack, and cooldown speed by 50%. Ends after 20 seconds.

Strengthening Effects, on the other hand, are meant to buff and enhance units. These are ideal for multiple situations such as facing an enemy with high health, taking on multiple enemies at once, or moving from one place to the next swiftly.
