Ailments are effects that attacks can cause various positive or negative changes in the battle.
In Battle[]
Status effects cause various detrimental effects on the afflicted target. Each effect is represented by an icon and turn number. When the number reaches 0, the status is removed. Turn numbers can stack up to a maximum of 9 turns.
Ailments can be instantly removed with its respective herb, or by using the Apothecary's Rehabilitate skill. They can also be prevented entirely using specific accessories.
Stat changes can be canceled out by using a buffing or debuffing skill with the opposite effect (e.g. if the enemy used Augmentation (Increase Physical Attack), Shackle Foe (Decrease Physical Attack) will bring their physical attack back to normal). They can be prevented using the effects of Celestial Intervention.
Status ailments and stat changes do not remain after battle.
Ailments[]
Ailments have specific interactions with certain skills and are distinct from Debuffs. For instance, H'aanit's Capture is more successful if the enemy is afflicted by an ailment (but not a Debuff); similarly, the Warrior support skill Endure activates when the user is afflicted by ailment (but not a Debuff).
Most ailments have a unique visual cue: when allies are subjected to it, their character model will look injured and they will lament their injury in the audio cue that plays when they act. This cue also plays while the user is at Critical HP threshold (below 1/3 of their max HP). The only exception is Petrification, which has its own unique visual cue.
