Status Effects

Status Effects include a variety of conditions that affects heroes, creatures, summons, and vulnerable guardians and are applied by their abilities. They can be divided into three main categories:

• Buffs – positive effects that provide benefit the target
• Debuffs – negative effects that harm target over time
• Crowd Control (also known as CC, Disruptions, or Hit Reactions) – negative effects that influence target's movement and actions

Diminishing Returns

When multiple of the same type of debuff are applied that damage or heal over time, only the highest magnitude source has full effect, while other sources have 10% effect.

• A 100 dmg/s bleed from one skill and a 20 dmg/s bleed from another skill will deal a combined total of 100 + 20x0.10 = 102 dmg/s.
• A +75 hp/s heal from one skill and a +35 hp/s heal from another skill will heal a combined total of 75 + 35x0.10 = 78.5 hp/s.

This does not affect debuffs of different types such as a bleed and a poison, both will have full effect.
