There are two main types of status effects in RAID: buffs (positive) and debuffs (negative). They can significantly influence the outcome of any battle. Use these buffs and debuffs to strengthen your team or weaken the enemy.
Buffs
Continuous Heal
Heals the target Champion by 7.5% or 15% of their MAX HP at the beginning of their turn.
Increase ATK
Increases the Champion’s Battle ATK (current ATK value) by 25% or 50%.
Increase DEF
Increases the Champion’s Battle DEF by 30% or 60%.
Increase SPD
Increases the Champion’s Battle SPD by 15% or 30%.
Increase C. RATE
Increases the Champion’s C. RATE by 15% or 30%.
Increase C. DMG
Increases the Champion’s C.DMG by 15% or 30%.
Increase ACC
Increases the Champion's Battle ACC by 25% or 50%.
Strengthen
Reduces the value of the received damage by 15% or 25%.
Block Damage
Makes the Champion immune to all forms of damage.
Reflect Damage
The attacker will take back 15% or 30% of the damage dealt.
Ally Protection
The Caster Champion takes 25% or 50% of direct damage inflicted upon the Target Champion. Self-inflicted damage (HP Burn or Poison) does not trigger this effect. Each Champion uses their own DEF value for mitigating damage.
Block Debuffs
While this buff is active, the Champion is immune to all debuffs. Instant negative effects such as Decrease Turn Meter are not affected and work as normal.
Revive On Death
If a Champion with this buff dies, he or she will immediately revive with 30% HP and 0% Turn Meter.
Counterattack
When attacked, the Champion with Counterattack buff strikes back at their attacker using their Default Skill. This attack deals 75% of the normal Default Skill damage. Can only counterattack once when attacked with a Multi-hit skill. Does not counterattack in response to the enemy’s own counterattack. Does not count as a Turn.
Shield
The Champion's HP bar is reinforced with a Shield for the indicated number of turns. Damage is calculated as normal, but is first applied to the Shield, unless the attack is stated to ignore Shields. When the Shield buff expires, or the value of the Shield reaches 0, the buff is removed and any further damage is applied as normal.
Note: damage dealt to the Shield does not count as damage dealt to the Champion, so Effects such as Lifesteal do not benefit from it.
Unkillable
The Champion cannot fall below 1 HP when Unkillable buff is active.
Veil
There are two versions of this buff: Veil and Perfect Veil. The Champion under either of these buffs cannot be targeted by the enemy.
If all remaining Champions on a team have an active Veil or Perfect Veil buff, the enemy will not be restricted in targeting a specific Champion.
Veil buffs will be removed when the affected Champion uses an active skill, but Perfect Veil buffs will not be removed. Also, Veil and Perfect Veil buffs decrease incoming damage from area-of-effect skills. Veil reduces incoming damage by 7.5%, and Perfect Veil reduces incoming damage by 15%.
Finally, Veil and Perfect Veil buffs cannot be stolen by an enemy Champion with a skill that allows them to steal buffs.
Increase RES
Increases the Champion's Battle RES by 25% or 50%.
Taunt
If a Champion is under a Taunt buff, enemies can only target that Champion. If there are several Champions under a Taunt buff on the same team, enemies can target any of the Taunting Champions.
When using an AoE attack, only the Champion under the Taunt buff can be targeted, but their allies will still take damage from the AoE attack as normal.
The Provoke debuff has priority over the Taunt buff, meaning a Provoked Champion will still only target the Champion who placed the Provoke debuff on them, rather anyone under a Taunt buff.
In addition, if there is only one Champion under a Taunt buff on a team, it will supersede any other buffs that affect targeting (like Veil and Perfect Veil), meaning a Champion under both Taunt and Veil buffs will be targeted.
However, if there are multiple Champions under Taunt buffs on a team, buffs that affect targeting (like Veil and Perfect Veil) will then take effect to decide who will be targeted. For example, in a situation where two Champions are under Taunt buffs, but one of them is also under a Veil buff, the Champion under only Taunt will be targeted, whereas the Champion under Taunt and Veil will not.
The Taunt buff cannot be spread, and its duration cannot be increased. It can be stolen, removed, and its duration can be decreased.
Intercept
The Intercept buff will block any attempt to place a crowd control debuff on a Champion, even if it is specified in the enemy's skill that the debuff itself cannot be blocked. This includes Stun, Sleep, Freeze, Provoke, Fear, True Fear, Petrification, and Sheep debuffs.
A Champion can receive multiple stacks of the Intercept buff. Each Intercept stack will block one attempt at placing a crowd control debuff. After the attempt, one Intercept stack will be removed. The Intercept buff has no duration, and therefore cannot have its duration increased or decreased. The Intercept buff also cannot be spread to ally Champions.
If a crowd control debuff is placed on a Champion that has an Intercept stack and the Block Debuffs buff, an Intercept stack will not be removed. However, if a crowd control debuff that cannot be blocked is placed on a Champion with both Intercept and Block Debuffs, an Intercept stack will be removed.
If a crowd control debuff that can be blocked is placed on a Champion who is immune to that debuff, an Intercept stack won't be removed. However, if a crowd control debuff that cannot be blocked is placed on a Champion who is immune to that debuff, an Intercept stack will be removed.
If a Champion is under an Intercept buff, and another Intercept buff with less stacks than the Champion currently has is placed on them, the number of Intercept stacks on the Champion remains unchanged.
If a Champion steals an Intercept buff from an enemy, they will also steal as many Intercept stacks as the initial Champion had when the buff was stolen.
Rage
While active, the Rage buff increases the damage the Minotaur deals by 400%. Once the Rage buff expires, the Minotaur will become Dazed, and will receive a Dazed debuff for 1 turn. While active, the Dazed debuff increases the damage the Minotaur receives by 200%.
Once the Dazed debuff expires, the Minotaur will once again receive a Rage buff for 3 turns, starting the cycle over. These buffs and debuffs cannot be blocked or removed by Skills that remove debuffs.
Eternal Rage
The Eternal Rage buff increases Iragoth's SPD and causes Iragoth to ignore Unkillable, Block Damage, Shield buffs and ignore 50% of the target's DEF when attacking.
Life Barrier
Life Barrier is a buff that grants the recipient additional HP beyond their MAX HP. It cannot be removed, stolen, or have its duration increased or decreased. Skills that scale damage based on a Shield's value will count the Life Barrier buff as a Shield.
Life Barrier has the highest priority of any buff, and will be placed on top of effects such as Digestion. In order to remove effects such as Digestion, the Life Barrier must first be removed by damage.
If the Life Barrier is not removed when its duration ends, the Hydra Head's HP will be fully restored. Removing the Life Barrier will place a Stun debuff on the Hydra Head for 1 turn.
Poison Cloud
Poison Cloud buff blocks damage from Poison debuffs.
If a Champion got an HP Burn debuff before the Poison Cloud was applied, then the effects of the Poison Cloud won't work, but the buff itself will not be removed. It's not affected by the Steal Buff, Remove Buff, Spread Buff, Increase Buff Duration, Decrease Buff Duration effects.
Stone Skin
Stone Skin buff decreases the damage (except the damage received from Bombs and HP Burn), removes all debuffs except Bombs and HP Burn, gives Immunity to all debuffs except Bombs and HP Burn. Also, it gives additional Stone Skin HP.
A Champion with the Stone Skin is immune to the Decrease MAX HP and Decrease Turn Meter Effects.
Vengeance
Increases the damage inflicted by the Head of Wrath by 300%.
It is activated automatically once the Head of Wrath receives 15 hits. The hits are shown on the Vengeance counter.
The Head of Wrath deals increased damage twice: right after the buff was activated and on its next turn.
This buff can't be removed, stolen, or spread. Also, its duration can't be increased or decreased.
Serpent's Will
The Serpent's Will buff reduces all damage a new Head takes by 100%.
It starts working once the dead Head is transformed into a new Head and is active until the new Head makes its first move. If two new Hydra Heads appear on the same turn or get killed at the same time, only one receives the Serpent's Will buff.
This buff can't be removed, stolen, or spread. Also, its duration can't be increased or decreased.
Up to 3 Serpent's Will buffs can be present simultaneously in a battle.
Bone Armor
A Champion starts each Round with a number of Bone Armor stacks. Each Bone Armor stack decreases the damage the recipient receives from a single hit, then disappears. A Champion can have a maximum of 3 Bone Armor stacks at one time.
Lightning Orb
Whenever an enemy receives a buff or has their Turn Meter filled, places one Lightning Orb stack on this Champion.
When activated, a Lightning Orb stack randomly protects one other active buff from being removed, stolen, or transferred. After activation, the Lightning Orb stack disappears. A Champion can have a maximum of 3 Lightning Orb stacks at one time.
Whenever a Champion with 3 Lightning Orb stacks hits enemy targets, inflicts Bonus Damage to them based on their MAX HP. Bonus Damage can occur on each hit of a Skill, but does not count as an extra hit. After the Bonus Damage is applied, all active Lightning Orb stacks are removed from this Champion.
Eclipse
Only Amius the Lunar Archon can place this buff on himself. When placed, Amius will transform into his Alternate Form. When the buff expires, Amius will transform back to his Base Form.
Fervor
Increases damage inflicted by 10% and reduces damage received by 10%.
Stormcall
Each Stormcall stack increases the damage dealt by a Champion by 5%.
A Champion can have a maximum of 5 Stormcall stacks at one time. When attacking with 5 Stormcall stacks, places a Stun debuff on the target and removes all Stormcall stacks. This Stun debuff cannot be resisted.
Magma Shield
The Champion's HP Bar is reinforced with a Magma Shield for the indicated number of turns. Damage is calculated as normal, but is first applied to the Magma Shield (unless the attack is stated to ignore Shields). When the Magma Shield buff expires, or the value of the Magma Shield reaches 0, the buff is removed and any further damage is applied as normal.
When damage is dealt to a Magma Shield, it is first applied to the Magma Shield, then an equal amount of damage is also dealt back to the attacker.
Fortify

Shatter
Increases a Champion's Ignore DEF effects by 7.5% or 15%.

Pain Link
The Pain Link debuff causes the affected Champion to receive a percentage of all damage received by the enemy who placed this debuff. The enemy receives 100% of the damage inflicted to them.
The amount of damage received depends on the enemy who placed the debuff.

Damage dealt to a Champion under the Hunter's Gaze debuff will ignore Unkillable, Block Damage, Increase DEF, Strengthen, Ally Protection, Veil, Perfect Veil, and Shield buffs. Champions can still Evade damage while under the Hunter's Gaze debuff.
Necrosis
When an enemy Champion dies, a single Necrosis stack is placed on all other alive enemies. When another Champion dies, an additional Necrosis stack will be placed on all other alive enemies and so on. Each Necrosis stack deals damage equal to 5% of a Champion's MAX HP at the beginning of their turn. For example, if a Champion has 3 Necrosis stacks, damage equal to 15% of their MAX HP will be dealt to them at the beginning of their turn.
Necrosis stacks do not decrease upon activation at the beginning of a Champion's turn, and Necrosis is placed on a Champion irrespective of the number of debuffs that are currently on them. Damage dealt by Necrosis cannot be increased by other effects, and placement of a Stone Skin buff will remove Necrosis. If there are any dead enemy Champions in the battle after a Stone Skin buff expires, Necrosis stacks equal to the number of dead enemy Champions will be reapplied.
When a dead enemy Champion is revived, a single Necrosis stack is removed from alive enemies. If multiple Champions are revived, Necrosis stacks will be removed equal to the number of Champions revived.
Fatigue

Ensnare
Any Turn Meter increase effects received by a Champion with the Ensnare debuff will be reduced by 50% or 100%.
Miscellaneous
Mark of the Hydra
Marks one Champion who will be affected by the Devouring Skill. This effect can't be removed, and its duration can't be decreased. It cannot be blocked or resisted, and ignores Perfect Veil and Veil buffs.
The Mark of the Hydra is placed irrespective of the number of debuffs on the Champion.
If one Champion has a Taunt buff, and another has the Mark of the Hydra debuff, the Devouring skill will ignore Taunt.
Digesting
At the start of a Hydra battle, one Champion will receive a Mark of the Hydra debuff with a 20-turn countdown. Once the countdown expires, the marked Champion will be devoured by the Head that moves next. The Devouring skill ignores Taunt.
After devouring the marked Champion, the Hydra Head will begin digesting them and a 5-turn countdown will begin. If enough damage is dealt to the digesting Hydra Head before the countdown ends, the devoured Champion will be set free and return to the battle. If the digestion countdown reaches the minimum of 2 turns, the extra health the Hydra receives when Digesting a Champion increases. If the countdown expires, the Champion will be consumed and cannot be revived or return to the battle.
Duel
The Duel effect is placed on the producer and their target. When the Duel effect is active, the producer can use any skill against the target, while the target is limited to only using their default skill against the producer, similar to the Provoke debuff.
The producer deals 50% more damage to the target under the Duel effect. Champions not under the Duel effect deal 50% less damage to targets who are in a 'duel'. To end the 'duel', Champions must deplete the producer's Duel bar. This bar is equal to 1% of the producer's MAX HP. Once the requisite damage is dealt, the Duel effect is removed from all Champions. If the producer or their target dies while under the Duel effect, it is also removed.
The Duel effect has priority over Taunt, Veil, and Perfect Veil buffs. For example, the producer of the Duel effect will always target the enemy under the Duel effect, rather than a Champion under a Taunt buff. If the target of a Duel effect is under a Veil or Perfect Veil buff, they will still be targeted by the effect's producer.
The Duel effect is placed irrespective of the number of the debuffs currently on a target Champion. The Duel effect is guaranteed, and cannot be removed, resisted, stolen, spread, or blocked.
