Status Buff	comment	Before you Describe Status Buff Here, put on your favorite song, to add +2 to troping. A Stock RPG Spell, this is an ability that gives a temporary boost of one form or another to a character or an ally. Often called just a "buff". Can be a cast spell, a technological ability, or can be packaged as a single-use item like a potion or drug. The defining characteristic is that the buff must be temporary. Some must target a specific character for the effect, but more recently "auras", or area-effect constant buffs, have become popular. These apply to all allies inside a range of the caster, with a possible maximum number of total affected. This reduces micromanagement of buffing, but auras most often have a lesser effect than a straight buff spell. These boosts can overlap with the concept of the Power-Up, in that both make your character stronger. Having said that, Power Ups are more likely to be found in single-player games, and are always stumbled upon in the game world instead of being bestowed upon you by a third party. Similarly, a Field Power Effect is usually due to external and non-human forces affecting the strength of a set of characters. For the narrative equivalent, please see Magic Enhancement. This is closely related to Meta Power. Examples of common buffs: Ability Up: Whether it's Strength, Speed, Defense, Magic, or other stats, this will grant the recipient of these spells a temporary flat increase or multiplier to that stat, thus improving the results of all internal calculations derived from it (be it damage, healing, accuracy, or so on). In some games, this is an "official" buff that can be neutralized by a Status-Buff Dispel. In some games, there may be just one of these (usually for Attack), while in others, they may be absent, except for increasing levels of Agility Up/Down. Many games that have the Ability Up buff will also have a corresponding Ability Down as the negative counterpart, and the two may cancel each other out. Reflect: Causes spells or attacks to deflect off of the intended target and hit something else instead, usually a member of the opposite party. In some cases, this makes no distinction between friendly or hostile magic: If you cast Reflect on an opponent, any attempts by them to cast recovery spells or status buffs of their own may bounce onto you instead. Most spells will only reflect once before they strike the target. Haste: Speeds up the character. This is distinct from a Speed buff as listed above: Whereas a Speed buff will improve internal calculations (say, accuracy and evasion) derived from one's Speed (and, depending on the game, may modify turn order), Haste actually multiplies the number of turns or actions the character is given during battle. In games featuring a "Slow" Status Effect, the two will usually cancel each other out. Regeneration: Slowly restores a character's HP. In turn-based games, it will heal a set amount of HP every turn; in real-time games, it constantly adds HP at set time intervals. Although it's the polar opposite of Damage Over Time, it doesn't usually directly cancel poison (or whatever Damage Over Time effect(s) exist(s)) out; rather, both effects go at the same time, which may or may not even out depending on the gamenote however, in turn-based games, Damage Over Time and Gradual Regeneration may occur at separate phases of the end-of-turn/post-action effect queue (thus technically not being simultaneous), and if Damage Over Time brings its victim's HP to 0, they may be considered KO’d before Gradual Regeneration can bring their HP back up. Charge/Focus: Increases the effect of the next attack or spell used. Many of these are self-used, effectively using two turns/actions for a single, stronger attack (which, depending on the game rules and the opponent's defensive strength, can be more effective than two regular attacks). Protect: Reduces damage taken, often by a specific source. Many games have variations on this for different types of damage (e.g. physical or magic), and some even going as far as having Protect spells against individual elements. A partial reflect may or may not be built in. Some spell-casting character classes specialize in these enhancements, and they become everyone's friend very quickly when playing in a multiplayer environment, especially when they double as a healer. By the same token, these classes often have trouble looking out for themselves. The characters that specialize in buffs and healing/repairs are often called "support classes", although this classifier is really a superset encompassing any non-combat roles on a team. Watch out for enemies that can cast a Status-Buff Dispel.

Status Buff / int_14eb91c0	comment	Shadow Hearts: After the first game, the series is fond of these. One of the perks of the final available fusion in Covenant and From the New World is that it has a spell that grants all available buffs to the entire party. (It's significantly less useful in the latter, however, as the Final Boss and Superboss both respond to buffs by immediately casting Lost Progress.)

Terran Medics can heal organic allies and remove status effects of all allied units, while Science Vessels can apply a Defense Matrix on allies (which gives the unit a ~250Hp temporary shield). Infantry for the Terrans also had the stimpack, a haste ability that did damage to the user. The game is generally more keen on Status Effects though.

Some are single-target buffs (and some of these are ally-only or self-only), while some affect all players that were near the user when it was activated.

Status Buff / int_223c2a48	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Status buffs are a major mechanic introduced in the game, and can be obtained both from specialized armor and from consuming foods and elixirs. "Chilly" items and the Desert Voe armor grant heat resistance, allowing Link to explore the Gerudo Desert without taking constant damage. "Electro" items and the Rubber armor grant resistance to electric attacks. "Enduring" items supercharge Link's stamina wheel. "Fireproof" items and the Flamebreaker armor grant immunity to fire, necessary for exploring the volcanic heights of Death Mountain and for fighting flaming enemies. "Hasty" items increase Link's running speed. The Sheikah armor grants a speed boost as well, but only at night. "Mighty" items and the Barbarian armor increase the damage dealt by Link's attacks. "Sneaky" items and the Sheikah armor make Link stealthier by making his movements quieter, allowing to sneak around enemies more easily. "Spicy" items and the Snowquill armor grant cold resistance, allowing Link to explore icy mountain areas without taking constant damage. "Tough" items increase Link's defense, decreasing the damage done by enemy attacks. All armor grants some damage protection, but the Soldier's armor grants the most.

Status Buff / int_2990bf98	comment	Dicey Dungeons: Shield protects against incoming damage, similar to how a second health bar would work. In the Parallel Universe, it heals you on the next turn by its value. Armor reduces all incoming damage. Particularly useful against enemies such as Sneezy, who attack multiple times per turn. In the Parallel Universe, it blocks the next status effect by its value. Dodge negates the next attack, but in the Parallel Universe, it has a 50% chance of working, and it lasts until it's triggered. Re-Equip Next re-equips the next item you use, even those that only work once per battle, or your next dice in the Parallel Universe. Fury repeats the next equipment that you use, but in the Parallel Universe, it locks you out from using the same weapon on the next turn. For the Jester, it also prevents that card from being discarded, even if it has a match. In the Halloween Special, the Spooky version only works 50% of the time and lasts until it's triggered. Survive lets you survive the next fatal blow with 1 health remaining. It makes you invincible for a set number of turns in the Parallel Universe, but after the counter expires, you die. Illuminate gives you some extra dice of a certain value next turn. Thorns deals damage back to your enemy whenever they hit you. It also used to pierce through shields like Poison until the v1.4 update Nerfed it. In the Parallel Universe, it steals additional HP from your enemies by its stacks. Jinx either does damage to the enemy, heals you, or inflicts you or the enemy with a status condition depending on the item affected by it, but it only activates after a certain number of turns. Reunion adds new status buffs, most of them variants of existing ones: Berserk doubles all damage for the rest of the turn. Some of Jester's cards equip them with permanent status buffs: Golden Dice makes them always roll evens, Turbo Charge makes them draw a card when they inflict Shock, Gauntlets copies the first card they play each turn, Diamond Dust doubles the damage done on frozen enemies, Jasra's Pendant gives 2 mana each turn, while the Sunlight Shield gives 2 Shield each turn.

Status Buff / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: If a spell's name ends in "-kaja", it's a status buff. Debuffs end in "-nda". Learn them very quickly or you're finished. Two exceptions are Dekaja and Dekunda. Dekaja is a Status-Buff Dispel, while Dekunda washes debuffs off your characters and is a LIFESAVER when you get hit with Debilitate (another exception, and one you will learn to DREAD). The language used for the stats being targeted is consistent throughout the series with one exception. "Taru-" is attack power, "Raku-" is defense, and "Suku-" is agility and accuracy. The exception is magic power — sometimes it's folded into "Taru-", while in some games (such as Digital Devil Saga) it has its own category, "Maka-"; still others (most notably Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse) separate the buffs between Tarukaja and Makakaja while combining the debuffs into Tarunda, which will cost slightly more than Rakunda and Sukunda due to covering two stats. Debilitate will lower all stats. Some games include Heat Riser/Luster Candy, which will buff all stats. While enemies seldom use Luster Candy or Heat Riser, they will gleefully abuse all other status buffs and debuffs. Various skills act as stronger debuffs than the basic ones. When War Cry and Fog Breath were introduced, they simply acted as double Tarunda and Sukunda, respectively, with Acid Breath being introduced for Rakunda later. In the IV duology, due to the max buff/debuff level being lowered from four to three, they were altered to instead lower two stats once. War Cry combines Tarunda and Rakunda, Fog Breath combines Tarunda and Sukunda, while Acid Breath combines Rakunda and Sukunda. There are also the Charge/Power Charge and Concentrate/Mind Charge spells, which will typically multiply the damage of the user's next physical or magical, respectively, attack by 2.5 or increase the chance of instant death when casting Hama or Mudo. In most games, buffs and debuffs can be stacked, typically up to three or four times, and last on a character until that character is killed or has the effect dispelled. This is not the case in Persona 3, 4, and 5 , where they can only be used once, will last only 3 turns before expiring, and have single-target variants before the standard full-party versions are introduced, arguably making buff and debuff spells significantly less useful. Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne: Matador has the Signature Move Red Capote, which is a special buff that completely maximizes his agility/accuracy, making it the equivalent of casting four Sukukajas at once. It can only be used on himself, not the party, but is also one of the primary reasons he's a Wake-Up Call Boss. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse: The Final Boss opens up his second form with Infinite Power, which maxes his stats and grants him Smirk. Throughout the fight, he can continue to use it and Unending Curse, which lowers all of your party's stats to -3 with a chance of Mute. The last DLC boss also has renamed versions of these moves. Digital Devil Saga 2: The Final Boss takes this to its logical extreme with Eternal Zero, which maxes his stats and brings yours to their lowest. Persona 5 Strikers modifies they worked in Persona 5 so that Rakukaja makes the target Immune to Flinching and Sukukaja gives a better chance of automatically dodging.

New types in the sequel include Leap (increased movement range and higher jumps), Resilience (harder to hit with Debuffs), Spellbound/Extend (buffs and debuffs last longer), Tranq (most attacks have 30% add to their hit chance, essentially the opposite of Blind), and a few unique buffs for the Cannonier class that serve to enhance the next normal attack (variations of Charge, so to speak) The new system Tonberries have to follow forces them to cast a spell to "aim" at a unit before using their signature Grudge skills, which applies a special buff to them and a special debuff to their intended target, and only then can they Grudge the marked unit. In fact, a powerful Tonberry later in the game has the ability to circumvent this as his entire special property.

Status Buff / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Clerics in 3.5e are classic buff specialists, but they have the flexibility to not be one if they so choose. Likewise, wizards and sorcerers are typically combat-oriented blasters or mezzers, but can do as buff specialists in a pinch. A Bard's only non-standard, non-spell ability in combat is to buff party members with their songs, while a "Gish" is a character, usually multiclassed, that combines magical buffs with top-notch combat skills. D&D 3.5 also has a metamagic feat called Chain Spell, that makes a spell hit a number of secondary targets. It will do half damage and be easier to resist, though. Of course, buffs do not do damage and there is no reason to choose to resist them, making them an easy means of getting full party buffs as there is no drawback. Of course, the same is true for Dispel Magic, which, if Chained, is assured of crippling any competent mid- or high-level opponent long enough to finish them off. In 5e Edition, Paladins have taken up the support role as well as simply being, well, The Paladin. Their aura of protection gives buffs to saving throws made in their aura (it may as well be a permanent boost for the Paladin, but for everyone else it's decidedly this trope as the effect wears off once they leave the aura) and depending on their Oath, their natural auras can do other things, such as prevent charm or fear. They also get various aura spells that can temporarily grant Bonus Action health regeneration to one person within the aura per round (a coveted feature that normally only Clerics, Bards, and to a certain extent Druids have access to), weaken the affects of poison, prevent outright death in a certain radius, etc. The cost of these buffs in 5e, however, is that many of them require Concentration to maintain; you can't have two Concentration spells going at once, so it's normally impossible to have more than one buff, like Bless or Aura of Vitality, up at the same time unless another support caster has something else up as well. This was done for Competitive Balance, as 3.5e was notorious for having teams of Clerics who would spend all day self-buffing so that they could one-shot the next foe they came across; more often than not, a big boss monster.

The challenge of his boss fight is to kill him before he's buffed himself to the point a) you can't hurt him and b) he can one-shot you. Power Lift is a Star Power that can increase your Attack and Defense for a few turns. There's also the Charge and Charge P badges which allows Mario and his partner respectively to double their attack power. The buff will dissipate after attacking once but the upside is that Charge can be used consecutively to increase power even more with each usage increasing attack power x2. Mario & Luigi: The games have the Pepper items, which each give the user a temporary boost to one stat. A Red Pepper boosts power, a Green Pepper boosts defense, and a Blue Pepper boosts speed. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Geno Boost increases an ally's attack and defense.

Status Buff / int_85966a1a	comment	Lineage 2: All classes have multiple buffs, but the ones that take the cake are the human tank classes (Hell Knight and Phoenix Knight) and the dedicated buffers (Prophet, Elven/Shilien Elder, Judicator). The former can boost their already ridiculous defense to almost unbelievable levels with their buffs, such as Iron Will, Aegis Shield, Ultimate Defense, Physical Mirror and Deflect Magic among many others. The Phoenix Knight provides support to the party with their assistance skills such as Touch of Life (Heals a target to full health and increases all healing done to the target), Spirit of the Phoenix (a chain of skills which culminates in Flame Archon, a massive buff to the entire party which raises every single stat by 60%, at the cost of reducing healing effectivenes on everyone affected by 80%) and Shield of Faith (which transfers 50% of the damage of all party members towards the caster, boosting the entire party defenese in the process). The Hell Knight debuffs the enemy with skills like Touch of Death (reduces the health, healing effects and stats of the target, removing up to 5 buffs in the process), Shield Slam (Blocks physical skills for 1 minute), Hell Scream (Reduces every nearby enemy defense for 30%, speed for 30% and has a chance of inflicting fear), and their most feared skill, Insane Crusher (deals a ridiculous ammount of damage that bypasses all kinds of defense — shields and armor — further increased because the skill can Over-Hit -An effect above critical damage, where the damage can be boosted up to five times — and if the target survives, they have greatly reduced CP, CP and HP regeneration and Debuff Resistance. It also cancels from one up to every single one of the target buffs. Being hit with Insane Crusher is basically a death sentence for the character.) The Buffer classes... well, buff. All their skillset are based around buffing party members, raising every possible stat in the process. While their standart buffs are fairly equal, each class has its own perks. Prophets have every single great buff and can boost every single stat by themselves (at the cost of having exactly 0 combat abilities), Elders can actively regenerate mana (which makes them invaluable for mages) and Judicators have ultimate buffs, which raises certain stats to incredible levels for short periods of time, such as Apetite for Destruction (which boosts Physical Damage, Critical rate and Damage and Acurracy by 80%), Protection Instinct (raises all defenses by 80%) and Magic Impulse (which raises Magical Damage, Magical critical rate and damage and casting speed). The Judicator buffs affects the entire party, which can make a party with a Judicator unkillable for the 30-40 seconds duration of said buffs.

Status Buff / int_959e6bc	comment	Since Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest III, which introduced the first status-altering spells, the series has grown to include an enormous variety of buffing magic spells and abilities, such as Bikill/Oomph (doubles one character's attack power for a while, but they can't get critical hits), Upper/Buff and Increase/Kabuff (raise one ally's defense, or the party's defense), SpeedUp/Acceleratle (boost the party's agility), Barrier/Insulatle (protect the party from fire and ice), and Bounce (create a barrier that reflects magic spells cast on the target). In earlier games, many monsters and some AI-controlled characters could spend a turn gathering their strength, in order to make their next attack stronger. Later on this ability was made available to your characters, as Psyche Up. One of the more memorable buffs from the series is the Be Dragon spell, or Puff as it is now known, which turned the spellcaster into a fire-breathing dragon for a few turns.

Status Buff / int_9f89a5f0	comment	Pokémon: The games have buffs that can affect every stat, including some (like evasion and accuracy) which aren't made obvious to the player. On top of that, there is a move, called Psych Up, which instantly copies all buffs an opponent has used. Stat-changing buffs do not wear off with time, but are only lost if the buffed Pokémon switches out. Switching is fairly common in competitive play, though. Reflect, Light Screen, and Safeguard are of the "Protect" sort, halving physical damage, halving special damage, and preventing negative statuses, respectively. All three do expire, however. Also, the move "Baton Pass" allows a Pokémon to switch out with another party member and transfer all status buffs to it. It also transfers all status debuffs, like being locked into battle (Mean Look, Shadow Hold), infatuation (unless the entrant is the same gender as the infatuator or genderless), and confusion. The only status debuffs it won't transfer are the cardinals (Burn, Freeze, Poison, Paralyze, Sleep, Faint).

The Scholar job has an ability called Accession that can convert many of its single-target buffs into multi-target versions in exchange for increased cost and cast time. Regen in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX are Game Breakers because they heal in real time instead of at the end of every turn, meaning you can either in the former game's case open the Playstation's lid while the characters are doing their magic casting animation, or in the latter game, just fire off a summon spell and be 100% fighting fit once the animation finishes. Final Fantasy VI: Regen is comparatively useless — unless your Vitality is high, it heals very little damage and is per-turn. Even worse, that Vitality stat determines how much damage you take from poisoning: the higher the Vitality, the more damage you take per turn. The Haste spells are one of the most consistently useful buffs throughout the series. In the ATB era, it doubles the turn rate of your characters, which, amusingly, is actually nerfed from the NES era, where it effectively doubled the affected character's damage output (and is particularly hilarious on a high-level Black Belt, easily one-shotting the final boss). Final Fantasy V introduces the Blue Mage and its Mighty Guard spell. It combines Protect, which reduces physical damage, and Shell, which reduces magical damage into a single spell that targets the entire party. In some games it adds additional buffs, such as the Float effect in V and all four elemental-null spells in Final Fantasy X. It is generally considered its most useful in Final Fantasy VII, where it includes the above-mentioned Haste effect. It is at its most powerful in Final Fantasy VIII, where it adds Float, Haste, and Regen at Crisis Level 2, and Aura (increased likelihood of limit breaks) at Crisis Level 3, but falls into Awesome, but Impractical due to being a Limit Break and needing to mess with her crisis levels to get the additional effects. When it is not a Limit Break, Mighty Guard alone is used to justify including a Blue Mage in endgame. Bravely Default: There are quite a number of skills that will create buffs if a given condition is met (such as losing a certain percentage of HP), but the Performer class as well as the Conjurer has a skillset consisting almost entirely of the Ability Up type. The Salve-Maker can also perform a few buffs with the right compounds, including the aforementioned as well as Regen and Reraise, and Specials will give the party a buff to a certain stat for as long as their music plays (and one specific Special gives everyone a turn-based buff as well). Bravely Second adds the Astrologian job, which has a variety of Ability Up magic as well as a few others such as buffing or resisting elemental attacks; the Fencer, which uses a Stance System to increase its own attack, defense, or speed as well as give access to more powerful attacks; the Catmancer, whose learnable skills include an attack-up ability and which can max its own defense once it reaches job level 10; the Hawkeye, which can enhance its own attacks to do elemental damage or pierce defense; and the Guardian, which has a physical Attack Reflector. And the Emperor, whose skills largely consist of buffs for both you and the enemies. One of the Yokai's skills can also buff the user's own stats. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and its sequel have all fronts covered, and then some. New types in the sequel include Leap (increased movement range and higher jumps), Resilience (harder to hit with Debuffs), Spellbound/Extend (buffs and debuffs last longer), Tranq (most attacks have 30% add to their hit chance, essentially the opposite of Blind), and a few unique buffs for the Cannonier class that serve to enhance the next normal attack (variations of Charge, so to speak) The new system Tonberries have to follow forces them to cast a spell to "aim" at a unit before using their signature Grudge skills, which applies a special buff to them and a special debuff to their intended target, and only then can they Grudge the marked unit. In fact, a powerful Tonberry later in the game has the ability to circumvent this as his entire special property.

They are organized under standard names (every attack increasing effect is Berserk, every armor reducing effect is Fracture, etc) and usually inserted into a skill's effect as a nice bonus.

Status Buff / int_c2463c53	comment	Final Fantasy V introduces the Blue Mage and its Mighty Guard spell. It combines Protect, which reduces physical damage, and Shell, which reduces magical damage into a single spell that targets the entire party. In some games it adds additional buffs, such as the Float effect in V and all four elemental-null spells in Final Fantasy X. It is generally considered its most useful in Final Fantasy VII, where it includes the above-mentioned Haste effect. It is at its most powerful in Final Fantasy VIII, where it adds Float, Haste, and Regen at Crisis Level 2, and Aura (increased likelihood of limit breaks) at Crisis Level 3, but falls into Awesome, but Impractical due to being a Limit Break and needing to mess with her crisis levels to get the additional effects. When it is not a Limit Break, Mighty Guard alone is used to justify including a Blue Mage in endgame.

Aid is a good cleric spell to absorb damage. Especially handy if you know you're going to get hurt, like by jumping down a pit. Haste is probably the best choice on the mage side, especially since a single casting can affect the whole party. Shield is very useful against enemies using Magic Missiles; problem is, it only affects the caster, thus it may force you to put the Squishy Wizard in the front row to protect the whole party. In the first game only, Stoneskin can make your whole party nearly invulnerable to physical attacks. No wonder it got removed from the later games.

There's also the Charge and Charge P badges which allows Mario and his partner respectively to double their attack power.

Status Buff / int_e22c949c	comment	Dragon Quest: Since Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest III, which introduced the first status-altering spells, the series has grown to include an enormous variety of buffing magic spells and abilities, such as Bikill/Oomph (doubles one character's attack power for a while, but they can't get critical hits), Upper/Buff and Increase/Kabuff (raise one ally's defense, or the party's defense), SpeedUp/Acceleratle (boost the party's agility), Barrier/Insulatle (protect the party from fire and ice), and Bounce (create a barrier that reflects magic spells cast on the target). In earlier games, many monsters and some AI-controlled characters could spend a turn gathering their strength, in order to make their next attack stronger. Later on this ability was made available to your characters, as Psyche Up. One of the more memorable buffs from the series is the Be Dragon spell, or Puff as it is now known, which turned the spellcaster into a fire-breathing dragon for a few turns. Dragon Quest VIII made it even better by allowing you to Psyche Up multiple times to build up even more power, eventually giving you the appearance of having Super Saiyan hair, as can be largely expected because of the character designer being Akira Toriyama.

Upgrading it causes the barrier to damage enemies on contact and would eventually outright deflect some attacks, mostly enemy projectiles. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Enemy Cards are a type of card used in battle that grant Sora beneficial effects. Standard ones include Protect and Shell, while there are unconventional ones as well. For example, the Large Body card nullifies all damage coming from in front of him, and Dragon Maleficent boosted the power of Keyblade attacks but slows down the reload card. Each enemy and boss has a card associated with him/her/it, and they all have some sort of unique effect and condition before the effect fades. However, the disadvantages are that only one enemy card can be at play at a time, they tend to be expensive to put in your deck, and that for some cards, they impart resistances and weaknesses to certain elements along with their unique effect. They are also dropped rarely in the case of regular Heartless cards.

The buffs available to support characters (Defenders, Corruptors, Controllers, and Masterminds) deserve special mention in that they were so powerful that a team of eight support characters was generally considered the strongest option for a team.
