What Are Status Ailments?
Applied via Combat Skills and Ultimates
Status Ailments are negative effects inflicted on enemies through a character's Combat Skills or Ultimates. Some cause damage at the start of an action, while others restrict or delay enemy turns.
Works Different from Debuffs
Status Ailments are distinct from Debuffs, which reduce enemy stats. Abilities that require a Debuff to activate will not work on enemies affected only by a Status Ailment.
Special Status Are Not Status Ailments
Characters like Reno can apply effects to enemies that resemble Status Ailments, known as 'Special Status,' but these are not true Status Ailments. Abilities that depend on Status Ailments will not trigger from Special Status effects, so be careful not to confuse them.
