Status Effects

Certain spells allow you to inflict status effects to enemy characters to degrade their performance. Most effects have a limited duration, lasting for a certain amount of turns.

• Poisoned: the character loses some HP at regular intervals; caused by the Poison spell; can be cured by using an Antidote or a Remedy.

• Silenced: the character cannot use spells; caused by the Silence spell; can be cured by using a Bocca or a Remedy.

• Paralyzed: the character cannot move or do anything for the duration of the effect; chance of being caused by thunder spells; cannot be cured.

• Frozen: similar as paralysis; caused by ice spells; permanent until the ice is broken (using a melee attack or a fire spell).

A poisoned character

The duration of a status effect affecting one of your characters is displayed at the top of the screen when they are selected.

This character is poisoned for 9 more turns

When a character dies, all status effects are removed. They are not reapplied if the character is revived, so death can sometimes be a good option to get rid of these!
