Status Effects mockup

Status Effects are temporary benefits or hindrances that can be applied to both players and enemies. The effects can be in forms of damage-over-time, healing, or the modification of stats.

Resisting Status Effects

There are methods that can be utilised to resist Status Effects being applied to your character.

Damage reduction

If an enemy attack deals 0 damage, the Status Effect it carries will not be applied, as the attack is considered the same as a miss. By utilising a high percentage Line Shield and a Rainbow body unit (such as Guardless / Rainbow or Legsless / Rainbow) it is possible to raise your character's MST or DEF high enough to reduce some attack damage from smaller enemies to 0. When trying resist TECHNIC damage, this is usually only possible for Newmans due to their high MST.

Stamina thresholds

For TECHNIC-based enemy attacks, many of these can be resisted if your character has enough STA/End. Enemy TECHNIC attacks start at level 1 on C-rank missions, go up in level by five levels each rank.

Mission rank	C	B	A	S	S2
Enemy TECHNIC base level	1	6	11	16	21

Megid does not scale with mission rank, and instead matches the level of Megid that the enemy casts. Deljabans cast Lv1 Megid, which has Incapacitate Lv1; Delp Slami and Jusnagun cast Lv11 Megid, with Incapacitate Lv2, and Carriguines and SEED-Vitace cast Lv21 Megid, with Incapacitate Lv3.

The STA/End required to resist them increases accordingly based on the tech level. The following table shows the amount of STA/End. required to resist Status Effects based on SE level.

SE Level	LV1	LV2	LV3	LV4	LV5
Burn	21	24	27	30	37
Poison	24	27	30	33	36
Infection	23	26	29	32	35
Shock/Silence	24	28	37	40	44
Freeze	25	29	32	35	38
Sleep	25	28	31	34	40
Stun	26	29	32	35	38
Confuse	25	28	31	35	39
Charm	22	25	28	31	34
Incapacitate	21	24	27	30	33

In addition, when using this method some Status Effects have a higher STA/End. requirement for full resistance, and some (for instance, Stun from a Grass Assassin, and several Status Effects applied by bosses) cannot be resisted and will apply regardless of your STA/End.

If you do not meet the STA/End. threshold to completely resist Status Effects in this fashion, higher STA will still help reduce the frequency with which these status effects are applied. Subtract your STA/End. from the STA/End. required to fully resist a Status Effect, and the resulting number is the percentage chance of the SE applying on any given hit. Example:

Megid in an S-rank mission requires 24 STA/End. to resist fully. A character with 13 STA/End. would have an 11% chance of being incapacitated by a Megid in this mission. A character with 21 STA/End. would have just a 3% chance to be incapacitated by Megid in the same situation.

Resist Units

There are a number of 7★ body units that provide resistance to certain Status Effects. When equipped in the body slot of your line shield, the unit will provide resistance to the specified Status Effect regardless of the mission rank. In addition, resist units will also resist Status Effects that still apply with the Stamina method - for instance, Grass Assassin Stun can be resisted with a Stun / Resist.
