Status Effects

Status Effects are temporary changes that can be both advantageous and disadvantageous depending on the source. This page outlines all of the current Status Changes and Status Ailments in Tales of the Rays.

Status Change

Characters can receive Status Changes from both allies and enemies. There are various effects that can enhance abilities ranging from increasing Attack Power and Movement Speed to diminishing ones that can reduce Defense and/or crippling the targets actions. Any individual hit from an attack can inflict a Status Change, even if the first hit is missed. For Mirrages, it is triggered on the final hit.

Status Changes, positve and negative alike do not stack with themselves, but they do with others. Physical Attack Increase a Positive Status Change that increases your Physical Attack and Burst Mode another Positive Status Change which also affects your Physical Attack will reach an upper limit rather than continuously stack. Now if a target was simultaneously afflicted with both Physical Defense Decrease and Arte Defense Decrease two Negative Status Changes, attacks that make use of both Physical and Arte damage would do more total damage than if only one were utilized.
