What are Status Effects?

Buffs and Debuffs

Status Effects, in their entirety, are obtainable or afflicted conditions that either help or detriment the Hunter and Monster. Status Effects are separated into two categories: Boosts and Ailments!

Status Boosts are buffs that improve their efficacy during hunts, where an example such as Attack Up (S) is almost mandatory for hunts. To reliably get myriads of Status Boosts during your hunts, you can either stock up on consumables or party up with someone who uses the Hunting Horn!

Status Ailments are debuffs that hinder in any shape or form. While mostly an affliction to Hunters, they too can utilize status effects in hunts by crafting weapons from the very monsters that can inflict them or using Throwing Knives or Specialized Meat.
