Poison

Status: Poison

All Status Effects Stun Poison Fire Freeze Shock Curse Sleep

Poison is a status condition that inflicts the victim with various effects depending on if it is a knight or a monster.

When a knight is poisoned, they cannot heal, either from hearts or capsules, and have reduced attack power by approximately one-third.

Monsters afflicted with poison will be unable to heal themselves or regenerate health. Gremlin Menders or Wings will slightly damage poisoned monsters instead of healing them. It will also weaken the monster's attack power and defense.
