What are the Status Effects mechanics?

Status effects are temporary and only last a few turns.

Status Effects, in general last either one or two turns in battle and are cured at the start of the user’s third turn at the latest. They may be healed using recovery skills or consumable items.

Status inflicted units and foes will be healed the minute they are hit.

Status effects are automatically removed from the afflicted user if they survive an enemy attacked or an insta-kill. The same applies for enemies.

After a mission stage is completed, all status effects are removed.

All status effects and mental ailments are automatically cured after the mission stage concludes. As a result, it is advised to only treat them during a lengthy and difficult battles.

How to effectively inflict Status Effects

Break the enemy unit’s guard.

To break an enemy’s guard, you must use melee attacks or skill attacks through a Persona.

Melee attack damage won’t be reduced by Guard, but skill attack damage will be reduced since they are considered long-range attacks.
