📑 Status Effects (Buffs and Ailments) and Stacks - Dead topic see link in post #190

Stacks

Stacks are classified separately from Status Effects, although they are closely related.

Like Status Effects, stacks can be positive or negative. For example, they can increase a heroes attack stat, or deal damage over a number of turns.

Unlike Status Effects, stacks do not have a turn duration or limit, and they can’t be dispelled either by skills that say they dispel buffs or ailments. Stacks can’t be overwritten by similar or opposite status effects either.

Below is an example with Mireweave. Note that she has an attack stack active, as well as an attack buff:

The number beside the stack indicates the amount of times the stack has been casted. The more that the stack is casted, the more the effect increases. Please see the card description for how much the attack stack increases by.

For the stacks currently available, please see the first post in this guide.

Class Talents

Thanks to Kerridoc’s Version 18 - Class Talents - #190 by zephyr1 for the chart. I took and repurposed it to list the relationship between certain talents and status effects.

Now you know what that Cleric class resists, and what Peirce can bypass!

@DaveCozy

Class	Talent	Relationship with Status Effects
Barbarian	Wound	Wound ailment = .
Ranger	Pierce	The “bypass defensive buffs” bit refers to the following:
Monk	Resist	“Resist status ailments” means all status ailments. Since there’s too many of them to list, check the 📑 Status Effects (Buffs and Ailments) and Stacks - Dead topic see link in post #190 topic (see Ailments section in post 1)
Wizard	Jinx	“Deal +15% extra damage per each active buff” refers to any buffs active. Since there’s too many of them to list, check the 📑 Status Effects (Buffs and Ailments) and Stacks - Dead topic see link in post #190 topic (see Buffs section in post 1)
Sorcerer	Delay	Delay ailment is the same as the mana generation down ailment: . Note that this effect does not stack with skills that drop mana generation (e.g. Little John’s “Massive Chop,” Alasie’s “Spirit Arrow”)
Cleric	Manashield	“Negative mana effects” refers to these effects: and any mana removing effects. “Effects that prevent the use of special skills” refers to:
Rogue	Evade	Note that Evade will only avoid damage, not status ailments
Fighter	Revive	Note that the fighter keeps any status effects (buffs or ailments)
Druid	Companion	Note that minions are not considered status effects

Order of Operations – Stackable Status Effects

Ailments (non-pvp)

The following ailments are casted by items or map/quest exclusive enemies. Therefore these can’t be used in raids or wars.
