Notes[]

It is known that the English translation isn't the best, which leads to descriptions which can be confusing.
There are skills that grant or inflict status effects which are similar to another effect, but have different names; However, sometimes these names still refer to the same status effect. Some of these effects are:
- Raikoh's [Thunder Prison], which should inflict a Paralysis-like status of the same name, but instead inflicts the very same [Paralysis] as Bernard, Yan, and Yang
- Exorcist - Discipline's [Redemption] and [Salvation] effects are the same and named Redemption as a buff.
There are status effects with different names, despite having the same effect, and are treated the same by dispelling effects. For example:
- Lin Hu's [Worship] is effectively the same as the status [Sleep], and it is also dispelled by Osmond's sleep cancel.
- Yaen's [Deform] and Mr. Banner's [Complete Mutation] both transform you into monsters, and are cured by Mercy and Osmond.
There are Gyees that grant or inflict status effects, which aren't found in their skill descriptions. These are believed to be the old effects of their skills prior to getting buffed/ nerfed/ reworked; or these effects are just badly translated through the skill descriptions.
- Yaen's [Eliminate]
- Rita's [Flinch]
- Gaar's [Disability]
Occasionally there are some effects which aren't translated at all:
- Yan's [Cage Spell] is still displayed as [緊縛之法].
-Generally, buffs are displayed as a Blue icon on top of the HP Bars and debuffs are Red. One such effect which does not follow this is [Accelerated Metabolism] which is Blue, despite having negative effects.
Several of these effects, as well as cures, are only available through unlocking some of the skill's passives.
