Status effects

Status effects can come from various sources, such as weapons, assists, passives,  Duo/ Harmonized skills,  Emblem Effects, Captain Skills, items, or structures. There are currently 86 status effects in the game, which are split into positive status effects and negative status effects. Status effects either affect the player's units or enemy units. Skills such as  Gainful Bow+ and  Atk/Spd Prime 4 have effects that work based on how many status effects are active on the targeted unit(s). For sources of status effects, see the category page Category:Sources of status effects.

Positive status effects (also known as 【Bonus】 or Beneficial Effects) last until the next start of player phase. If they are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins. 【Bonus】 effects can be copied by skills such as  A Fate Changed! or  Tome of Luxuries. All 【Bonus】 effects can be removed by Sources of positive status effect neutralization such as  Thórr: Sun-Kissed Gods and  Divine Deceit.

Negative status effects (also known as 【Penalty】 or Detrimental Effects) are defined as status effects on a unit that last until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the negative status effect for their first action. All 【Penalty】 effects can be removed by Sources of negative status effect neutralization such as  Paranoia and  Odd Recovery 3.

When a unit has a status effect, an icon is shown on their sprite on the map.
