Debuffing Spells and Abilities Explained

Debuffing Spells are Magical

Debuffing spells are magic-based attacks that weaken enemies, lowering their stats or resistances to make battles easier. They cost MP and are vital for turning difficult fights in your favor.

Can't be Used While Fizzled

If the Hero is inflicted by Fizzled, it can't use spells until the effect expires.

Debuffing Abilities are Physical

Debuffing abilities are non-magical techniques that achieve the same goal through skillful or tactical actions, such as precise strikes that lower enemy defense or moves that inflict status ailments. These also share the same MP pool as spells.

Is Not Affected by Fizzled

Unlike Spells, Abilities are not affected by Fizzled, meaning the Hero can still use abilities even while inflicted by the effect.
