Status Effects

Status Effects

Status Effects are the named conditions that can be applied to a character, enemy, or any other battler — poison, sleep, KO, haste, regen, silence, and any other temporary or persistent state the project needs. Each status effect bundles together its enter, ongoing, and exit effects, the visual poses and animations it forces while active, and the rules that govern how it interacts with other effects, items, and skills.

A status effect can be applied directly through a trait effect, or applied automatically when its Enter Conditions are met after a battler's state changes. While active, it runs its Ongoing Effect Table each turn, can force custom battle, character, and portrait poses on the affected battler, and can block targeting or actions entirely.


Note: Status effects use a Priority value to resolve conflicts. When two effects are mutually exclusive — listed in each other's Mutually Exclusive Effects — the one with the higher priority replaces the lower. Mutually Exclusive Items, Item Types, Skills, and Skill Types work differently and instead block those abilities from targeting a battler that has the status effect at all.

Note: Enter Conditions are checked automatically after actions and state changes, which is how passive status effects like KO-on-zero-HP are built without requiring an explicit script to apply them.
