Revision as of 14:52, 26 July 2017
Status effects are a recurring element of the Dragon Quest series.
Status ailments damage, immobilize or otherwise debilitate a combatant. Almost every status ailment can be lifted with the help of a spell specific to that ailment. Many status ailments disappear immediately after a battle, while others can only be removed with a spell, a night at the inn or a visit to the church.
Some spells exist expressly to inflict status effects, and some weapons have a small chance of inflicting a status ailment after a successful hit. Occasionally, a special move may have a chance of causing a status effect. Some equipment bestows positive or negative status effects.
A number of these effects can be wiped out by Disruptive Wave or with a perfect panacea, if available.
