Status Effects

Status Effects are effects that disadvantage troops who get it by either burning, slowing, stunning, or bleeding the troops, caused by other troops. They can layer upon each other and deal massive damage when combined.

You'll know your troops are inflicted by a Status Effect because of an icon on top of its Health Bar. It can be whichever of the four with its own duration indicated by a grey gradient.

Duration of a status effect varies between type of Status Effect and troops that can inflict it, like Crab having a less duration of Stun than Giant Crab, or Flamewalker having a longer Burn than Flaming Noob.

Burn/Fire
Usually from troops that mainly attack using fire like Scorcher, Flamewalker, and Flaming Noob. As the name suggests, it burns down troops, decreasing their HP. As long as a troop is getting attacked by a troop that inflicts Burn, they will have it until that troop dies (don't forget afterburn!).



Slow/Freeze
Exclusive to the Freesius Units. It slows opposing troops' walkspeed and DPS, useful when dealing with fast glass cannons, or powerful tanks (which by themselves is slow enough). Strangely enough, Freeze does not extinguish Fire but it layers upon it, making an opposing troop burn and get slowed at the same time.



Stun
Stun is a rather rare Status Effect, only to a few troops like Crabs and its tank counterpart. It disables an enemy troop from walking or attacking for a certain period of time, depending on the troop. This is very dangerous for your powerful troops because of its power to stop them from attacking.



Bleed
Bleed is a common status effect coming from troops that have sharp weapons like noobs in general that use swords, Freesius Arowus (yes he can inflict that), and many other troops. It works the same way as Fire but in a slower, longer way. Bleed is not like other status effects because instead of a 100% chance of happening, it goes by chance of halves or more.

Trivia

 * The only troop that can inflict all 4 status effects at the same time is the tester exclusive Toilet
 * Interestingly, Burn lasts longer than Bleed, regardless which troop.
 * New-Age Soldier can inflict all 4 of these randomly.
