Persona 3 Reload - Status Ailments Guide

Status Ailments in Persona 3 Reload (P3R) are negative conditions that can turn the tide of battle for or against you. Learn more about all of the game's Status Ailments and what they do, which spells inflict them, and which spells cure them in this guide!

Status Conditions Overview

What are Status Ailments?

Status Ailments are conditions cast upon targets that have adverse effects to them during battle. These ailments usually last for a couple of turns until they are cured or the target recovers.

The effects they cause may include losing a turn, taking damage overtime, or lowering a stat. Some spells can cause two or more of these setbacks to take effect.

List of Status Ailments

List of All Status Ailments
Down Dizzy Freeze Shock Poison
Charm Fear Rage Panic Distress

Down

The Down status can only be done to a target should you exploit their weakness. Hitting their elemental or physical weakness will cause them to get knocked prone and lose their turn, and will give you 1 More action!

Dizzy

Much like the Down status, the Dizzy status also leads to 1 More action and will knock enemies prone, but can only be inflicted by critical attacks. Being Dizzy will force a target to lose their turn.

Freeze

The Freeze status causes the target to be encased in ice, rendering them unable to move and lose a turn. During this state, the target will be more likely to be hit with a critical hit.

Poison will last until the target reaches 1 HP.

Fear

The Fear status stiffens up a target, making them lose a turn or worse, have them flee from battle. Throughout the duration of the status, the afflicted target will be more likely to take a critical hit.

Certain spells can instantly incapacitate Fearful targets. Should any of your party members be afflicted with Fear, it would be best to cure them immediately.

Distress

The Distress status lowers targets' DEF and makes them more likely to take a critical hit. Light or Dark insta-kill spells will have increased success rates against Distressed units.

While exploring Tartarus, under-leveled Shadows will try to run away from you. However, upon catching up to them and engaging in battle, they will automatically be Distressed.

How to Cure Status Ailments

Use Skills that Cure Status Ailments

One of the most prominent ways to cure status ailments is by using spells that do so. Skills like Me Patra or Amrita, though costly in terms of MP, will more than suffice when it comes to keeping your party free of any ailment.

Salvation Fully restore the party's HP. Cures all ailments. 60 SP
Patra Dispels Panic, Fear, and Distress (1 ally). 3 SP
Me Patra Dispels Panic, Fear, and Distress for the entire party. 6 SP

Use Items

If you find yourself short on SP or curative skills, you can opt to use items that provide the same effect. You can get these items either by exploring Tartarus and opening treasure chests, or purchasing them from shops!

Dis-Rage Cures Rage for one ally. Aohige Pharmacy, Common Chest
