Status effect

Status effects are conditions that have various attributes that impact the battle state. Team Snakemouth can inflict various status effects on themselves and on enemies through the use of skills, medals, and items. Some enemies also have the ability to inflict status effects on themselves, allies, and the team.

Overview[]

All enemies have their own percent chance of resisting the Poison, Sleep, Numb, and Freeze status effects. When an enemy is inflicted with a status effect, their resistance to it increases by an amount dependent on the source and type. The Burn status effect uses an enemy's Poison resistance.

Resistance increase by source
Source	Regular Resistance Increase	Resistance Increase in Hard Mode‍ Hard Mode
Poison	0%	0%‍ 0%
Poison Needles	5%	8%‍ 8%
Numb	10%	15%‍ 15%
Electric Needles	12%	15%‍ 15%
Sleep	9%	13%‍ 13%
Sleepy Needles	8%	10%‍ 10%
Freeze	13	18%‍ 18%

Status Booster decreases all of an enemy's resistances by 15% and Frigid Coffin reduces an enemy's Freeze resistance by 30%. These effects stack. If an enemy has 100% resistance or more to a status effect, it cannot be decreased by either of these sources.

Status Relay transfers all status effects between party members while relaying turns.

A party member with Status Mirror equipped will inflict any status effects inflicted on them by an enemy's attack on the enemy who inflicted the status effect on them.

Resist All increases a party member's resistance to all negative status effects, with the exception of ATK Down and DEF Down, by 50%, and give them complete immunity to status effects inflicted by items.

Team Snakemouth will be inflicted by Poison, Sleep, Freeze, Numb, Burn, Inky and Sticky only if they fail to block attacks that inflict it.

To prevent situations where the party can be repeatedly immobilized in battle due to status effects such as Sleep or Numb, the game will account for if Team Snakemouth is unable to act for 4 turns, and, if this occurs, then all status effects are cured on the 5th turn of doing nothing.^[1] Status effects appear as an icon next to the character they're affecting. If there is more than one status effect on the same character, or if the character is affected by any Medals which also use icons, the icons are cycled through. The icons, besides the ones for Flipped, Hustle, Taunt and Unsteady, also have a number within them. For Charge, it represents the amount of charges a character has. For Extra Turn, it represents the amount of total turns a character has. For all other status effects, it represents the current duration of the status effect, in turns.

Poison[]

Poison gives the afflicted a purple tint (in the case of party members, it also makes them do their tired animation), and damages them, at the end of every round, by:

1 HP if their maximum HP is 20 or lower;
2 HP if their maximum HP is 30 or lower in the case of a party member, and if it is higher than 20 in the case of an enemy; or
3 HP if they are a party member and their maximum HP is higher than 30.

Poison cannot decrease HP below 1. Its icon is the purple outline of a skull.
