Ailments

Status Ailments, also known as Bad Status, are negative effects that can be applied to a demon.

Mechanics

Ailment Chance Formula

Ailments have a percentage chance of success, determined by the following formula:

AILMENT CHANCE = floor(SKILL AILMENT RATE + ((USER LUCK - ENEMY LUCK) * 0.3)) + USER INFLICTION BOOST - ENEMY AILMENT RESISTS

Some of the variables have their own formulas, as follows:

• User's infliction boosts:

USER INFLICTION BOOST = AILMENT INFLICT PASSIVES + BRAND AILMENT INFLICT + AILMENT INFLICT FROM SKILL LEVELS + AILMENT INFLICT PANELS

• Enemy's ailment resistance:

ENEMY AILMENT RESISTS = AILMENT RESIST PASSIVES + BRAND AILMENT RESISTS + AILMENT RESISTS PANELS + Dx2 AILMENT RESISTS SKILLS + CURRENT AILMENT RESIST BUFFS

Some demons may have some innate ailment resistances (likely PvE only), modifying the above AILMENT CHANCE:

AILMENT CHANCE = floor(AILMENT CHANCE * ((100 - DEMON AILMENT RESISTS) / 100))

Minimum Chance

The minimum chance of an ailment succeeding is calculated as follows:

MINIMUM AILMENT CHANCE = floor(SKILL AILMENT RATE * 0.3)

The greater of either MINIMUM AILMENT CHANCE or AILMENT CHANCE is used to determine the chance of an ailment being successful.

Additional Modifiers

• If the target has a Barrier effect active, then the formula is bypassed, and ailment attempts on that target will always fail.
• If the target is currently inflicted with the ailment Weak, then AILMENT CHANCE is set to 100%, bypassing the formula. However, enemies that are immune cannot be inflicted, even if Weakened.

Auto Cure Rate

Each turn that a demon has an ailment, there is a chance that the ailment will automatically be cured, removing its effects.

The auto cure rates for each ailment are different. Generally speaking, the auto cure rate will increase in chance until reaching its cap, at 4 consecutive turns of the ailment persisting. This capped rate is not always 100% (again, depends on the ailment).

Types of Ailments

There are six types of ailments:

Bind

• Affected demon's turn is skipped.
• Affected demon's evasion to physical hits is nullified.
• Affected demons are unable to counter attack.
• Some chain effects are prevented from bound demons.

Charm

• A charmed demon will attack their own teammates, or use support Skills on the enemy team.
• This is especially useful on very-hard-hitting enemies, as they will kill their own team.
  • Or enemy Supports, as they can buff or revive your own team.

Curse

• Healing received by the affected demon is reduced by 75%.

Mute

• A Demon affected by Mute cannot use any skills.
• This means it will only use basic attacks.
• Paired with a full NDR Phys team, this results in a guaranteed loss of Press Turns for the enemy.

Poison

• A Demon afflicted with Poison will take damage (5% of their max HP) at the end of their turn.
• This can deal fatal damage (as in, if poison would reduce HP to 0, the demon dies. HP doesn't stop at 1 or anything like that.)

Weak

• A demon affected by Weak will have their chance of becoming inflicted by ailments is set to 100% (bypassing the affliction chance formula).
• If you rely on ailments, try to Weak an enemy first!
• However, skills that grant immunity will still prevent the ailment, even when weakened!

Clerics

Clerics (unofficial term) are demons used to cleanse ailments.

• These demons are able to cleanse all ailments (usually for the whole party at once).
• They are also immune to all ailments (or at least to Bind, Charm, and Mute, which are all the ones that could disrupt cleansing). Note that immunity (for example Null Charm) is a flag that makes the affected ailment always fail, regardless of its success chance.

It's possible to make pseudo-clerics through a high Luck stat and ailment-chance-down skills such as Infernal Mask, but those can still fail against foes with a high ailment chance. It's much safer to just bring fully-immune clerics.

Ready-to-go

Demon	Immunities	Cleansing range	note
Daisoujou	All	All Targets	The cleanse is tied to Cleansing Shout, but there is a chance he will use Soul Drain (useless) instead.
Femto	All	All Targets
Lugh	All	All Targets
Mahamayuri	All	All Targets	Cleanse occurs automatically at the start of his team's turn. He does not have a manual cleanse. Problematic in Sloth 14, where if his team outspeeds, then his cleanse happens before the ailments every turn - i.e. no cleanse for you.
Maria	All	All Targets	Her cleanse (via Salvation) is limited to 3 uses and costs 9 MP per cast. If panel 1, this is upgraded to 9 uses at 6 MP per cast. Limited uses can be a problem in long fights. If not panel 1, the MP cost is also very high.
Okuninushi	All	All Targets
Raphael	Bind, Charm, Mute	All Targets

Needs transfers

Demon	Immunities	Cleansing range	Note
Idun	All	None	Needs panel 1 to get her immunities. Needs a Prayer or Silent Prayer transfer (ideally the former). Taking turns to cleanse may take away from casts of Goddess's Prank for ailments/debuffs.
Kinmamon	All	None	Needs a Prayer or Silent Prayer transfer (ideally the former).
Lakshmi A	Charm, Mute	All Targets	Needs a Null Bind transfer.
Party Pixie	All	Single Target	Needs a Prayer or Silent Prayer transfer (ideally the former).

Edge cases

Demon	Immunities	Cleansing range	Note
Apsu	All	None	Grants immunity to party members that have Lydia. But he can't re-apply Lydia, so this is not practical in long fights. Is not immune to anything while Lydia is not up, creating a vulnerability window. Does not have an innate cleanse, so needs a Prayer/Silent Prayer transfer. Taking turns to cleanse may take away from his DPS.
Demeter	All	None	Grants immunity to party members that have Bulwark. Is not immune to anything while Bulwark is not up, creating a vulnerability window. Does not have an innate cleanse, so needs a Prayer/Silent Prayer transfer. Taking turns to cleanse may take away from her Bulwark casting.
Griffith	Bind, Charm, Mute	All Targets	Needs panel 1 to get his immunities. Only cleanses when he scores a kill - this is not practical for long fights. May need a Prayer/Silent Prayer transfer for consistency. Taking turns to cleanse may take away from his DPS.
