Status effects

Status effects are debuffs that can be applied to players or hostile creatures which have an adverse impact on their combat capabilities. How these debuffs are applied, how long they last, and in some cases how potent they are varies depending on the source of the debuff. For debuffs with a duration, some, but not all, can be removed using abilities such as   Esuna, or occasionally, environmental as part of the fight.
