Statuses

Poison, stun, ward, frenzy: effects that stack on a fighter. The library has 27 ready-made ones, each with its own 12x12 icon.

Hub › Statuses

A status is an asset like an item: a name, a colour, an icon, whether it's a buff or a debuff, and abilities that run for whoever has it. Its numbers usually scale with the number of stacks: Turn start: take 1 poison damage per stack, then lose 1 stack.

Items and enemies give statuses with the Status › Apply Status effect, and check them with the Status › Has Status condition.

The library

Hub › Statuses lists the 27 ready-made statuses. Add puts one in your database, in its own folder with its icon and colour variants. Add all adds a whole group.

Damage over time

Control

Defense

Offense

Recovery

A few do something special: Ward is a health gate (no single hit above 5), Focus makes the next strike a critical hit, Frenzy adds extra strikes each turn, Evasion dodges the next strike, and Undying survives a killing blow at 1 health, one stack per save.

Your own statuses

Create › AutoBattleKit › Status makes a blank one. If its id matches a library status it gets that icon; otherwise it gets an orb in its colour. Paint over the PNG in its folder to make it yours.

1. Name it and set its id

   The Id is what Apply Status and Has Status use ("doom"). Pick a colour and whether it's a Buff or a Debuff.

2. Give it abilities

   Turn end: take 3 damage per stack is Trigger Turn end, Damage › Deal Damage to yourself with amount Per stack 3.

3. Decide when it wears off

   Add Status › Remove Status on yourself with amount 1 to lose a stack each time, or leave it out to keep it all battle.

4. Cap it (optional)

   Max Stacks stops a status growing: with 5, a fighter never holds more than 5 Evasion. Gains past the cap are ignored and don't count as Status gained. Leave it at 0 for no cap.

To check that a fighter does not have a status, put Has Status inside Logic › Not: "if you have no Grace".

Which status goes first

When two statuses fire at the same moment (Poison and Regen at turn start), the top of the Statuses page decides:

• In the order they were gained, or in my list order (drag rows to reorder).
• After items (default) or before items.

Both are saved in your Ruleset.

In code, StatusLibrary.Table("poison", "ward", "focus") returns runtime statuses for content built in C#.
