In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, there are seven distinct status effects. Five of these are timed debuffs, while the remaining two are applied immediately upon infliction. However, each is equally perilous under certain circumstances. It’s crucial to always equip gear that shields you from the status effects prevalent in your current environment. Additionally, there are specific items you can resort to when necessary. Let’s delve into these status effects and explore how to counteract them.

Blight

Blight is a particularly annoying status effect that continuously reduces your maximum health as long as the debuff persists.

To combat Blight, consider the following approach:

Utilize an Emerald Lotus Seed to either reduce Blight buildup or completely cure the status.

Burn

Burn ignites you, causing rapid health loss while the debuff remains active.

The following measures can cure Burn:

Employ a Fire Lotus Seed to either alleviate Burn buildup or eliminate the status.

Take a Flameward Pill to temporarily boost your fire resistance.

Move swiftly to reduce the duration of the debuff.

Corruption

Corruption acts similarly to a typical poison effect, slowly sapping your health while the debuff is active.

To rid yourself of Corruption, you can:

Use a Purple Camellia to either lessen Corruption buildup or cure the status entirely.

Despair

Despair causes instant death upon application.

To handle Despair, you should:

Use a Mind Lotus Seed to diminish Despair buildup.

Frostbite

Frostbite halves your maximum stamina while the debuff is active.

Here are some ways to manage Frostbite:

Use a Sapphire Lotus Seed to either reduce Frostbite buildup or cure the status.

Consume a Spicy Soup to not only alleviate Frostbite buildup and cure the status but also provide temporary immunity to environmental frostbite.

Take a Kong Wine or Everblend Brew to enhance your resistance to frostbite temporarily and instantly restore all your HP.

Paralysis

Paralysis reduces your overall damage through lightning while the debuff is active.

To deal with Paralysis, you can:

Use a Stormward Pill to temporarily boost your lightning resistance.

Poise Break

Poise Break inflicts damage immediately upon application.

To address Poise Break, consider the following:

Utilize a Topaz Lotus Seed to reduce Poise Break buildup.

Apply an Arnica Ointment to both lessen Poise Break buildup and heal a small amount of HP.

Ultimately, you can also use a Fixed Origin Pill to cure all status ailments and bolster your resistance to them, so it’s wise to keep some in reserve. Ideally, though, you’ll be able to avoid these status effects by equipping armor that defends against them. Remember, it’s smarter to work efficiently than to work harder!
