ParalysisStatusEffect

The Status bar of a player affected by a paralysis debuff in SAO.

A Status Effect is a temporary modification to a game character's original set of stats that usually comes into play when special powers, items and/or abilities are used, often during combat. Some of such modifications have a positive effect on the character, but most of the time they are negative. Positive status effects are usually referred to as buffs, while negative effects are referred to as debuffs (阻害効果(デバフ), Debafu?, lit. "obstruction effects"), which range to about 10-20 types.[1] Many attacks have a random chance of dealing negative status effects on opponent which are generally not curable, unless the appropriate crystals or potions are used. Most, but not all of them expire after a set period of time.

Notes[]

  1. Described as a green musical note in the author's original text.
  2. Lanterns and torches do not produce enough heat to undo the debuff. The standard method to undo the chillness debuff is for the affected player to sit by a fire. An alternative method is for the affected player be covered under a blanket alongside another player.
