For an enemy's permanent effect, see Attributes.

Status Effects are effects that players can get and apply during a battle. Applied status effects show their corresponding icon above a player/enemy, along with their current duration and level if applicable.

As the player levels up, the chances of gaining negative status effects lowers while also increasing the chances of applying negative status effects to enemies.

There are currently 48 status effects in-game as of Demo 5.
