What Unaffected does
Current rulesUnaffected is not the same as preventing, removing, or shortening a debuff. The debuff can remain present and can still satisfy wording that checks whether you have that debuff, even though the part you are Unaffected by does nothing.
- The debuff can still be present
- A debuff you are Unaffected by can still be applied and remain on your character. Unaffected suppresses its effect; it does not say that the debuff failed to apply.
- Unaffected is not removal
- Removing a debuff ends that debuff. Being Unaffected leaves the debuff present but stops its effect from applying for as long as the relevant Unaffected condition remains true.
- Unaffected is not reduced effect
- Reduced effect changes the magnitude of a debuff. Unaffected makes the named effect not apply, without changing the debuff's stored duration or claiming that its magnitude was reduced to zero.
- Read the exact scope
- Unaffected always names what it covers. Unaffected by Chill does not cover every Slow, and speed Unaffected by Slows does not stop unrelated effects such as damage, Curses, or Stun.
- Read the exact condition
- Conditional wording applies only during its stated window. Slippery Ice works during Dodge Roll, Suffusion works while Leeching Mana, and Ab Aeterno works while Sprinting.
- The suppressed effect returns when the condition ends
- If a debuff is still present when a temporary Unaffected condition ends, its effect can apply again for the debuff's remaining duration. Unaffected does not pause or reset that duration.

5 rules- Unaffected does not remove a debuff or stop its duration from passing.
- Unaffected by one debuff does not grant immunity to other debuffs.
- A condition such as while Sprinting or during Dodge Roll ends when that condition ends.
- Speed Unaffected by Slows prevents the speed change, not every other property an effect may have.
- A debuff that remains present can still matter to effects that check for that debuff.

Debuffs are negative effects that deal damage or penalise stats for a duration or while a condition is met.
mechanicHexproofHexproof means a target is Unaffected by Curses. A Curse can still be placed on a Hexproof target, but the Curse's debuff does not apply its effect unless the inflictor has an explicit Hexproof bypass.
mechanicCurseCurses are debuffs that weaken enemies or players. Most Curse skills affect an area after an activation delay, and a target can have one Curse by default.
mechanicChillChill 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.
mechanicLeechLeech recovers Life, Mana, Energy Shield, or Rage, usually from a percentage of damage dealt by a hit. A normal Leech instance provides its recovery over one second.
