Gloom

Gloom (sometimes called "Depress" in-game) is a special status effect.

Mechanics

A demon afflicted by Gloom will have the following effects applied to them:

• -20% physical hit rate
• -20% physical evasion rate
• -20% critical rate
• -20% chance to inflict status ailments
• +20% chance to receive a critical attack
• +20% chance to become afflicted by a status ailment

Gloom cannot be removed by skills that would remove status ailments, such as Prayer.

• Gloom also cannot be prevented by skills that would prevent ailments, such as Barrier.

Gloom cannot be removed by skills that would remove good status effects, such as Silent Prayer.

Interaction with Zenith

Zenith is Gloom's opposite, and the effects will cancel each other out if both are applied at once, much like buffs.

• For example: if an enemy is already Gloomed and then receives Zenith, both effects will disappear and the demon will be in a neutral state.
