Status effects add strategic depth to combat. Basic effects include Poison (damage over time), Burn (fire damage), Freeze (skip turn), Stun (paralysis), Sleep, and stat buffs/debuffs. Elemental effects like Shocked, Rooted, and Corrupted provide unique challenges. Use items or abilities to cure them!
