Status Effects

From Curious Expedition 2 Wiki
(Redirected from Taunt)

Status effects are combat effects that provide either a "buff", a positive effect, or a "debuff" with a negative effect to an enemy or character in combat. Most status effects last for one turn, and will state otherwise on the status effect description if not. Buffs provided by equipment or perks are permanent. Status effects can be applied through a number of means including certain actions on combat or equipment die, enemy attacks, and consumable combat items. Any status effects on an enemy or ally can be viewed by hovering the mouse over them in combat.

Combat where both allies and enemies have status effects applied to them

Buffs[edit]

Heal[edit]

Heal Inline15.png restores the health of the target(s) for the number listed. Healing from combat die cannot be used outside of combat. However, if you can eliminate all but one weak enemy that you can consistently either fully block with shield Inline40.png or can fully Stun Inline137.png, and as long as the Fighting Spirit is high enough that you don't lose Sanity Inline120.png then it can be a good idea to stall combat for a few turns to heal up your trek members.

Shield[edit]

Shield Inline40.png sets up a shield for the whole trek. Every enemy attack first goes into the shield, only dealing damage and applying debuffs to the trek members after the shield is depleted. Any extra damage over the shield value will break though and hit the intended target. For example: If you currently have 10 shield and an enemy attacks one of you allies for 15 Damage Inline143.png, then 10 of it would be blocked and you ally would lose 5 Health Inline74.png.

Burning[edit]

Burning Inline312.png deals damage at the end of the affected character or enemy's turn, dealing damage equal to it's value to them and then reducing the burning value by one. The target is no longer burning when the value reaches zero.

For example: The torch inflicts burning Inline312.png 5 to an enemy. At the end of the enemy's next turn, after they attack (or pass if stunned), they take 5 damage and the burning value reduces to 4. Then your next turn will occur and again, after the enemy takes their turn, they will then take 4 damage and the burning value will be 3. And so on...
