About | List of Status Effects
Stacking: ATK Down | DEF Down
A list of status effect and explanations. Some icons are used to represent multiple different statuses. In general, if two effects have different icons and effect names, they can be used simultaneously for greater effect.
Buffs and debuffs that are the exact same effect will typically replace or overwrite each other. When using Fighter's Rage I and Warrior's Rage II at the same time, Rage II will overwrite an existing Rage I, but Rage I will have no effect on an existing Rage II. Using Rage II again will simply overwrite the old Rage II effect. However, some skills are what is colloquially known a "dual skill," which cause effects that stack with other non-dual (single) effects. The best example of this is Dark Fencer's Miserable Mist, which stacks with Sidewinder's Rain of Arrows III, causing enemies to reach the maximum Attack Lowered value of -50%.
Buffs and debuffs with "(stackable)" in the name will increase in effect every time they are applied as the name implies, up to a certain limit, while also returning to the original duration, if applicable. Bounty works the same way, although it also becomes harder to add more stacks the higher it already is.
The duration of most status effects is either expressed in battle turns or seconds of real time. For the most part, effects on the player's party have a turn-based duration while effects on enemies are time-based. Exceptions to the latter usually have an icon with a number displaying the remaining number of turns and tend to be what's often called a "local" effect.
Glossary
- Buffs
- For example
ATK UpATK is boosted
,DEF UpDEF is boosted
, andTA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
. - No known cap.
- Special Buffs
- Certain status effects are classified as "special buffs", which are indicated by their skill descriptions in-game, and the status infobox in the wiki.
- Most special buffs have an icon unique to a specific character and their character versions, such as
ColHP is restored on every turn / DEF is boosted
Special buff. - However, not all buffs with unique icons are special buffs, such as
Hidden Tiger, Crouching DragonAttacks made with elemental superiority have a chance to deal boosted DMG / Double attack rate is boosted / ATK is boosted / Debuff resistance is boosted / Charge bar is boosted
. - Special buffs can be active at the same time as regular buffs, applying normal stacking rules (e.g. additive for normal modifier ATK buffs).
- Special buffs can be active at the same time as other special buffs, but only the stats with the highest value will apply.[1][2]
- Debuffs
- For example
ATK DownATK is lowered
,DEF DownDEF is lowered
, andGravitySpecial attack max charge turn is extended
.
- Dual and Single
- Used to indicated whether (de)buffs sourced from character skills stack with each other.
- This terminology was used due to skills that buff/debuff one attribute (Single), were able to stack with skills that buff/debuff two attributes (Dual).
- While this is frequently the case, many exceptions exist now and these terms are currently only used to indicate stacking possibilities.
- Source
- Refers to the source of an effect. Most common sources are Skill, Support Skill, C.A, Summon Call, Summon Aura. Source often, but not always, plays a role in effect stacking.
- Skill refers to Main Character's and other allies' skills.
- Support Skill refers to a character's passive ability.
- C.A. refers to Charge Attack of characters or weapons.
- Summon Call refers to effects taking place after summon has been summoned.
- Summon Aura refers to passive effects granted by a summon.
- Side
- Used to explain how effects stacks with each other.
- Generally, only one effect of the same side can be active at a time. Stronger effects overwrite weaker ones and if you try to apply a weaker effect, while a stronger one is active, you'll get a "NO EFFECT" message.
- Equally strong effects of the same stacking side will overwrite each other and the duration will be overwritten too (not extended).
- Local
- Refers to enemy buffs and debuffs that are exclusive to a player's fight such as Ultimate Bahamut's
Ruination RayDeals 3-hit plain DMG to an ally each turn
or Grea'sDracoforceUnder Grea's sway
Local status effect - Local effects are signified by having a diamond-shaped status icon rather than a circle shape.
- Half Turns
- Some buffs or debuffs on this wiki may have a listed duration of x.5 Turns.
- These are applied during the attack phaseThe phase that is immediately after pressing the Attack button of a turn and only affect allies and/or enemies who perform their attack after gaining the effect.
- Refresh and turn-based damage applied during the attack phase which have their effect on the turn transition are also labeled as x.5 Turns.
- For example, a status with the duration of 1.5 turns is technically 2 turns in the game, but this initial duration cannot be normally seen by players. Status durations still count down by 1 at the end of the turn even when applied during the attack phase.
Notes
Note to editors
When adding a skill to the status strength tables please only add it at its highest level (+ or ++). Only add multiple version for exceptionally rare 5★, such as the Eternals.
If no information is available on the final strength of the skill please add the base version with a note1Strength of boosted version unknown..
When adding new skills please provide a source in the summary or on the talk page unless the source is this wiki.

For a more complete list of DA Up and TA Up buffs and their strengths see the attack rate page.
Buffs in each column do not stack with buffs in the same column, but do stack with buffs from a different column.
Normal buffs are typically party wide buffs from character abilities that use the normal
or
icon.
Self buffs are typically buffs from an ability that only affect the caster that use the normal
or
icon.
Notes
- Double Trouble's Main Character only buff fits into the self buff column.
Different levels of the spear effect do not stack with each other.
- Abilities that "boost multiattack rate" apply two buffs, a DA Up and a TA Up, and therefore can overwrite/be overwritten by single DA Up or TA Up effects from the same type of source
(ex. Using Sky Realm Song after Amira's Bal Sagoth will overwrite its DA Up buff).

Charge attack reactivates
Characters affected by C.A. Reactivation will use their Charge Attack twice on the same turn. Each C.A. is treated as a separate attack; a Chain Burst will activate at the end of the turn even if no other party member used their C.A., and effects such as

Critical Hit Rate Boosted
DMG is slightly boosted for critical hits.
Critical Hit is a damage mechanic that increases DMG dealt by a fixed percentage when activated. Normally, Critical Hits only activate for elemental attacks when superior element, or against non-elemental enemies. Some character skills or field effects, however, can allow for critical hits to be dealt regardless of element.
Critical Hits have a fixed chance to activate, and a damage modifier. They do not boost DMG Cap, but certain weapons and skills give additional effects when a Critical Hit is activated.
For a list of sources, see Critical Hit Rate Boosted
Counter
Counter is a status effect that allows a character to deal damage to an enemy at the end of its action if certain requirements are met.
The character will counter for their listed times per turn.
Counter can be applied as a buff through Skills and Charge Attacks, which typically lasts for a certain number of turns.
Counter can also be permanently active through Weapon Skills, Support Skills, and Extended Mastery Support Skills. However, these don't take effect while the status effect is granted.
There are three different types of Counter:
Counters on DMGCounters upon taking DMG
Counter attacks grant 5% charge bar per hit. (also called Tank-and-Counter): Deals counterattacks upon taking non-plain DMG.- The character won't counter if the attack was dodged or missed.
- It activates not only against normal attacks but special attacks and all-ally attacks as well.
Counters on DodgeDodge and counter one-ally attacks
Counter attacks grant 5% charge bar per hit. (also called Dodge-and-Counter): Dodges foe's normal attacks and deals counterattacks afterwards.- It activates even when the foe's attacks miss due to status effects such as Blind.
- It won't activate against special attacks and all-ally attacks.
Counters on Dodge/DMGCounters upon dodging one-ally attacks or taking DMG
Counter attacks grant 5% charge bar per hit. (also called Dodge/Tank-and-Counter): Dodges and counters normal attacks; tanks and counters special attacks and all-ally attacks.- This effect is prioritized over any other Counter effects.
Both the maximum number of hits and counter damage multiplier vary by their source. For example,
Duration: 4 turns,
Strength: 70%Duration: 4 turns, and
Strength: 300%Duration: 4 turnsCounter attacks grant 5% charge bar per hit..
Inflict
Strength: 10%Can't be removed.At 100%, leaves 1 max HP (Max: 90%) on ally. provides a 5-hit counter with a 300% damage multiplier, while
Duration: 3 turns,
Strength: 100%Duration: 3 turnsCounter attacks grant 4% charge bar per hit (includes Recklessness Incarnate)., and
Strength: 5%Duration: 3 turns (Max: 50%). provides a 3-hit counter with a 100% damage multiplier.
Normal attacks and counter attacks have a shared damage cap of ~440,000 (see Damage cap). Effects that increase the normal attack damage cap also increase the counter attack damage cap (e.g.
and
, apply to all counter hits for that turn even if they exceed 4 attacks.[3][4]
Unlike 1-hit buffs, which consider a turn of counter attacks as a single set,
treats each counter attack separately. For example, a 3-hit counter activates drain 3 times.
For a list of all Counter sources, see the Counter page.
Debuff Success Boosted
Debuff success rate is boosted.
For a list of sources, see Debuff Success Boosted
Dispel Cancel
Effects that remove buffs will be nullified (1 time).
For a list of sources, see Dispel Cancel
DMG Cap Boosted
Can deal big bonus DMG when DMG dealt in one turn reaches a certain amount.
For a list of sources, see DMG Cap Boosted
Dodge Rate Boosted
Immune to DMG and debuffs for a fixed amount while in effect.
For a list of sources, see Dodge Rate Boosted
Drain
Damage dealt is partially absorbed to HP.
Drain is a status effect that restores character's HP upon attacking.
Amount healed is based on a percentage of damage dealt, typically up to a certain HP cap. The amount and its cap varies based on the Drain source.
For a list of all Drain sources, see the Drain page.
Reduces damage taken from specified element by a percentage.
This effect is not the same as Elemental Damage Cuts given by Carbuncles and some characters. For Damage Cuts the whole icon should be a shield:
Fire Damage Cut..
See the Damage Cut page for a more thorough discussion.
- ATK is boosted.
Hype is an ATK boost status effect that can stack up to 4 times.
The ATK boost rises significantly with higher stack levels.
Hype is a unique ATK modifier and stacks with all other ATK buffs.
| Lvl | Chance | ATK UpUnique modifier[5][6] |
|---|---|---|
| 50% | 10% | |
| 30% | 30% | |
| 15% | 60% | |
| 5% | 100% |
- Hype can grant up to an initial 4 stacks if the target does not have any existing Hype stacks. Any source that can grant Hype has this characteristic. Initial Hype chances are weighted more towards lower stack levels.
- If a target already has 1 to 3 stacks of Hype, applying another Hype source will only increase the stack by 1.
- If Hype with a longer turn duration is granted, it will overwrite the duration of an existing Hype.
- Conversely, if Hype with a shorter turn duration is granted, it will not overwrite the duration of an existing Hype.
For a list of all Hype skills see the Hype page.
- Immune to debuffs.
Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff.
Veil is a buff that grants immunity to the next debuff that would be inflicted.
It may resist multiple debuffs if they are all inflicted at once.
For the duration-based version, see

is usually at its maximum potency at 100% HP and minimum at 0% HP, with the ATK boost decreasing linearly with every 1% HP lost. The formula for it being as followsmin% + (Current HP / Max HP) * (max%-min%).- Some sources will only decrease in strength once the character with the status is below 50% HP, changing formula showed above but still decreasing linearly once the 50% HP threshold is passed.
- Party-relying
Strength (Party)ATK is greatly boosted based on how high total party HP is
will use total % of current HP of all frontline allies to determinate its potency.- As there's currently only one character with such status, its exact properties are unknown but it appears to be separated into at least two stacking sides that do stack with each other.
For a list of all Strength sources, see Strength page.
- Receives one-ally attacks in place of an ally
Substitute is a buff that causes a character to receive one-ally attacks in the place of an ally.
Regular Substitute works on attacks with multiple hits, but not attacks that hit all allies. Substitute (All-Ally), however, covers for all allies.
For a list of all substitute skills see the substitute page.
Unchallenged
Next DMG received will be ineffective.
For a list of sources, see Unchallenged
Assassin (Buff)
Assassin buffs refers to buffs which boost the ATK and DMG cap of the character such as
For more information, see the Assassin (Buff) page.
Crests are special buffs which are used by certain characters' skills or support skills. Their effect varies from character to character. The crest buffs are permanent, can stack up to five times, and cannot be dispelled, though they can be consumed by skills. If no characters who utilize Crests are in the party, they have no effect.
For a list of all Crest sources and Support Skills activated by them, see the Crests page.
Death's Grace
Converting turn-based DMG to HP recovery (Poison, burn, wither etc.)
Death's Grace converts damage dealt by most turn-based damage effects (
,
, etc) into HP recovery.
HP recovered is equal to the damage that would have been dealt and is unaffected by effects that increase healing. It also bypasses effects that prevent healing.
For a list of all Death's Grace sources, see Death's Grace page.
Debuffs
Debuffs are status effects that are generally considered detrimental to the afflicted.
When attempting to inflict debuffs on enemies, there is a natural success rate based on the element of the character with the skill and the enemy. Strong element has the highest natural success rate (but not 100%), followed by neutral elements, then weak element, and last, same element. To reiterate, the same element as the enemy has the lowest debuff success rate of all elements. If inflicting debuffs with Dark Fencer is important to your overall strategy, the overwhelming recommendation is to use a strong-element main hand regardless of whether you get weapon/summon bonuses or not.
Self-inflicted debuffs from abilities generally cannot fail and are not preventable by Veil.
Some enemies (mostly bosses) are completely immune to some debuffs (indicated by "Resist" when using them) and grow increasingly more resistant to other debuffs the more they are used on them.

effects from different sources (Skill Single / Skill Dual / Character C.A. / Summon Call) are additive and cap at 50%. ATK DownATK is lowered
andATK Down (Stackable)ATK is lowered (Stackable)
are multiplicative but share the same cap of 50%.
- Just like
DEF Down (Stackable)DEF is lowered (Stackable)
, singleATK Down (Stackable)ATK is lowered (Stackable)
will apply one stack of the effect and will continue doing so up to a certain cap (the strength of single effect and cap differs by source).

but does not share the cap with them. It is unknown if it even posses a cap on its own. Instead it stacks additively with other elemental modifiers.
- Stacking example if all effect types are applied:
A foe afflicted with10% Fire ATK DownFire ATK is lowered
Strength: 10%,10% ATK DownATK is lowered
Strength: 10%, and10% ATK Down (Stackable)ATK is lowered (Stackable)
Strength: 10% would effectively have a 27% ATK Down1 - 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.27
27% ATK Down
Or in terms of damage taken:ATK * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 =
ATK * 0.73
73% Damage Taken for fire attacks. - Example of Elemental ATK Down stacking with other types if the 50% cap is reached:
A foe afflicted with10% Fire ATK DownFire ATK is lowered
Strength: 10% and50% ATK DownATK is lowered
Strength: 50% would effectively have a 55% ATK Down1 - 0.9 * 0.5 = 0.55
55% ATK Down
Or in terms of damage taken:ATK * 0.9 * 0.5 = ATK * 0.45
45% Damage Taken for fire attacks.

reduces Defense of a foe it's applied on, effectively increasing damage dealt by your party.
DEF Down effects together cap at 50%.
Different sides of DEF Down stack additively with each other.
Multiple effects of the same side can't be applied at the same time. Stronger effects will overwrite weaker ones and weaker effects will show "NO EFFECT". Equally strong effect will override the duration (not extend it).
- Example:
Jeanne d'Arc (Dark)'s Anti-ReversalInflict 25% DEF DownDEF is lowered
Strength: 25%Base Accuracy: 100%Stacking: Single on a foe. Self-inflictImpurityHP and charge bar lowered each turn

Strength: 20%Duration: 180 seconds. (20%, summon call side) gives a total of 75% DEF Down, but it'll be capped down to a 50% effect. DEF UpDEF is boosted
effects are added to the formula. If a foe with the aforementioned debuffs gained20% DEF UpDEF is boosted
Strength: 20%, it would result in: 75% DEF Down + 20% DEF Up = 55% DEF Down (effect is still capped at 50%).- Damage Cut effects are not part of the DEF Up / DEF Down formula and thus are not part of the 50% cap.
- DEF Down effects applied to characters function the same way they do on monsters and also cap at 50%.
- Example:
Beatrix (Summer)'s Nayde KollaneMultiattack rate and hostility are sharply boosted / DEF is greatly lowered
will apply only 50% of its 75% DEF Down, unless Beatrix will gain DEF Up from any source.
- Example:
- Certain effects
Feower's ForfeitDMG taken is boosted / DMG dealt is lowered Gabriel's PureflowDMG taken is boosted / DMG dealt is lowered
Local status effectSariel's Death SentenceDMG taken is boosted / DMG dealt is lowered
Local status effect can surpass the cap by 10% due to their unique mechanics. Such effects will not stack with each other and only one will apply.
Sides of DEF Down are as follows:
DEF DownDEF is lowered
is the most common type of the DEF Down effect. Within this type there are four different sides that can be told apart based on their sources:- Character skills (including the Main Character's) can be either single-sided or dual-sided*.
- Character charge attacks and summon call effects are the other two stacking sides.
- DEF Down from a weapon's charge attack can be either one of above-mentioned two sides.
DEF DownDEF is lowered
Local status effect Local DEF Down only affects the party that cast it. Debuffs from the same source will override other effects based on strength, regardless of duration.- Turn-based effects such as
DEF DownDEF is lowered
Local status effect will end after a certain number of turns has passed. - Permanent effects such as
Shiva's Purifying FlameHP is lowered on every turn / ATK is lowered / DEF is lowered (Can't be removed)
orAndira's IwazaruDEF is lowered (Effect increases upon each Multi-Decree cast [Max: 3 times] / Can't be removed)
Local status effect won't expire regardless how many turns or time has passed.

- Elemental DEF Down
Fire DEF DownDEF is lowered for fire DMG Water DEF DownDEF is lowered for water DMG Earth DEF DownDEF is lowered for earth DMG Wind DEF DownDEF is lowered for wind DMG Light DEF DownDEF is lowered for light DMG Dark DEF DownDEF is lowered for dark DMG
only reduces Defense for attacks of the same element as the effect. Only the strongest effects will apply, regardless of source.- Example:
Water DEF DownDEF is lowered for water DMG

- Example:
DEF Down (Stackable)DEF is lowered (Stackable)
will apply one stack of the effect, up to a certain cap (the strength and cap of the debuff differs by source).
If two or more effects from different sources are applied, they'll add to each other, up until the cap of the corresponding skill. If the cap is already reached, only the debuff duration is refreshed.[7][8]- Example:
Athena's Tetradrachm5-hit, 100% Fire damage to random foes (Damage cap: ~120,000 per hit).

Break Boosted
increases the time it takes for a foe to exit its Break mode, while
increases the amount of DMG it can take without switching back to the normal mode.
The debuffs are often collectively referred to as "Break lock" or "Break keep".
Both have an indefinite duration per se as they end only once the new requirements have been met.
If a foe is inflicted with either of those 2 debuffs while outside Break mode, the debuffs will miss.
A foe currently inflicted with Break lock will have drastically increased resistance (>100%) to further Break locks of its type during its duration regardless of its strength. For example,
