Status Effect

A Status Effect in Knighthood is a temporary modification that impacts a Knight or Monster's performance in battle. These can be applied from a Hero or Monster Power, a Gauntlet ability, a Charm effect, or via a unique Monster ability such as being attacked with a weapon or punch attack.

These effects are indicated by an icon underneath the affected combatant's armor and health bars, alongside a number indicating how many turns the effect applies.

• Status Effects that deal damage do so at the end of the combatant's turn. For example, once the Knight has used all 4 of their moves, or after a Monster has attacked or used a Power.
• Status Effects don't take effect or count down if all Monsters in a Round are defeated on the Knight's turn (except during Guild Boss Battles, or if the 4th action was a Hero Power). Instead, they carry over to the next Round, unless the battle is over.

Damage Values

Heroes

The three damage-dealing Status Effects (Acid, Burn, Poison) have fixed values based on Rarity and Level when applied by Heroes. The three have the same base damage values.

• These damage values are only affected by monster weaknesses/resistances, the Enlighten Library's Damage Boost, and the Max Star effect of a few Heroes. Status damage is unaffected by Hero star level and damage-modifying stasuses, i.e. Protect or Expose.
• The same damage-dealing Status Effect can be applied several times, resetting the counter and adding together damage from past inflictions.
  • This added damage only applies for as long as the past inflictions still last; for example, if an enemy had 1 turn of Burn left, then Burn was reapplied for 3 more turns, the next turn would add the two Burn effects together, then the remaining 2 burn turns would have standard damage.

The following table shows damage values for statuses applied by Heroes of various levels and rarities, as displayed on their in-game description page. (The number displayed in-game is not modified by the Enlighten Library's Damage Boost.) The damage increase caused by a Hero gaining a level doubles every 10 levels across all rarities, up until level 40 where it instead doubles every 5 levels, a system similar to other level-scaling values in Knighthood.

The damage ratio of Common:Rare:Epic:Legendary:Unique is approximately 4:5:6:7:8.

Hero Status Effect Damage per Round

Level	Common	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Unique
1	16	23	34	53	88
10	52	68	88	116	168
20	132	168	208	256	320
30	292	368	448	536	640
40	612	768	928	1,096	1,280
50	1,572	1,968	2,368	2,776	4,076
60	5,412	6,768	8,128	9,496	14,144
