Ailments

Bleeding is a damaging Ailment that deals Physical damage over time and bypasses Energy Shield. It lasts five seconds by default and requires an explicit chance or effect that can inflict Bleeding.

Poison is a damaging Ailment that deals Chaos damage over time and bypasses Energy Shield. It lasts two seconds by default and requires an explicit chance or effect that can inflict Poison.

Ignite is a damaging Elemental Ailment that deals Fire damage over time for four seconds by default. A Hit's chance to Ignite comes from the target's total Flammability, including Flammability applied by that same Hit.

Chill is a non-damaging Elemental Ailment that slows action speed. Cold Hits can Chill without a separate application chance, but a calculated Chill below 30% Magnitude is discarded.

Freeze is a non-damaging Cold Ailment that prevents a target from moving or acting. Cold Hits can Freeze directly or add Freeze Buildup, and reaching 100% Buildup makes the target Frozen.

Shock is a non-damaging Lightning Ailment that makes a target take 20% increased damage by default. Lightning Hits gain a chance to Shock based on post-mitigation damage relative to the target's Elemental Ailment Threshold.

Electrocution is a non-damaging Lightning Ailment that interrupts a target and prevents it from performing actions. It lasts five seconds by default, but ordinary Lightning damage cannot build Electrocution without an explicit enabling effect.

Elemental Ailment Threshold is the defensive comparison value used when Elemental Hits try to apply Ignite, Chill, Freeze, Shock, or Electrocution. A higher threshold makes those ailments harder to apply and reduces Freeze and Electrocution Buildup received.

A Hit is an instantaneous damage event. Any damage that is not damage over time is Hit damage, whether it comes from an Attack, a Spell, Thorns, or another effect.

Damage is classified on three independent axes: source, delivery, and type. A component can come from an Attack, Spell, Thorns, or another source; deal a Hit or damage over time; and deal Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Chaos damage.

Damage contribution decides which parts of a Hit are counted for one named Ailment chance, buildup, or Magnitude calculation. It does not convert the Hit or change the damage types it deals.

Magnitude is the numeric strength of a Buff or Debuff. It changes the values that effect applies, such as damage per second, a Slow percentage, increased damage taken, or Ignite chance.

Spreading an Ailment creates a new matching Ailment on another target from the same source. Target-history and source restrictions prevent the spread from looping indefinitely.

Aggravated is a persistent state on an individual Bleeding or Ignite Debuff. It makes that Ailment instance deal 100% extra damage until the instance expires.

Elemental Damage is the collective name for Fire, Cold, and Lightning Damage. A modifier to Elemental Damage can scale all three types, but each part is still mitigated by its matching Resistance and keeps its own ailment rules.

Fire Damage is one of the five damage types. Fire Hits apply Flammability, which supplies chance to Ignite, while Fire Resistance mitigates Fire Hits and Fire damage over time separately.

Cold Damage is one of the five damage types. Cold Hits can Chill and build Freeze, but Chill Magnitude, Freeze Buildup, and Freeze Duration are separate values, and Cold damage from Hits cannot build Heavy Stun.

Lightning Damage is one of the five damage types and one of the three Elemental damage types. Lightning Hits can Shock by default, while Electrocution requires a Skill, item, support, or other effect that explicitly enables Electrocution Buildup.

Chaos is one of the five damage types. Chaos Resistance reduces it, and ordinary Chaos damage removes twice its damage value from Energy Shield instead of bypassing Energy Shield by default.

A Payoff skill gains a powerful extra effect when it Hits an enemy affected by a specified Debuff. It often Consumes that Debuff, and it cannot inflict the same Debuff that enables its Payoff effect.

Fire Resistance reduces Fire damage taken. It is tracked independently from the other damage-type Resistances, has a default maximum of 75%, and can have a different uncapped value from the value currently used for mitigation.

Cold Resistance reduces Cold damage taken. It is tracked independently from the other damage-type Resistances, has a default maximum of 75%, and can have a different uncapped value from the value currently used for mitigation.

Lightning Resistance reduces Lightning damage taken. It is tracked independently from the other damage-type Resistances, has a default maximum of 75%, and can have a different uncapped value from the value currently used for mitigation.

Chaos Resistance reduces Chaos damage taken. It is tracked independently from the other damage-type Resistances, has a default maximum of 75%, and can have a different uncapped value from the value currently used for mitigation.

Debuffs are negative effects that deal damage or penalise stats for a duration or while a condition is met.
