Forgotten Stories Status Effects

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 changelog increases Cursed Inferno's damage-over-time base start to 6. This names a DoT starting value, not total damage or a new cast requirement.

The post does not specify a new number of ticks, tick interval, full progression or final resisted damage. No matching standalone card was found in this review; do not equate the name with My Brutal Inferno or invent an obtainment route. Do not multiply six by an invented duration or present tested DPS.

Keep DoT starting damage separate from extra-rune damage →

Official changelog · 2026-09-08 UTC

Racco's September 8 announcement adds Frenzy to Dagger. Landing seven hits with the weapon grants Frenzy +1; weapon hits through skills or Counter can count. The announced effect gives +0.5 Speed and +1 PEN. The September 13 Trello check now finds Frenzy on the Dagger card and a separate status card listing the same bonuses. This is documentation catching up, not a second new passive.

Seven hits does not mean seven turns or seven button presses. The statement does not publish a stack ceiling, duration, reset rule or the exact hit count of Assault. Do not claim one Assault guarantees Frenzy, that all dagger-named off-hands gain it, or that the effect restores permanent base weapon Speed. Use your displayed Speed in the existing tool; no live stacking test was performed.

Official changelog · 2026-09-05 UTC

Counterweight now grants one Counter after five parries instead of seven. Counter can stack to three and is consumed by landing counters, rather than decaying with turns. The counterattack's listed weapon-damage reduction is 20% for Light, 25% for Medium and 35% for Heavy. The public Counter card still restricts activation to close attacks; Counterweight's two-handed-weapon requirement is separate from that trigger.

Three is the status ceiling, not a promise that every source can generate three stacks. Parrying Dagger's card separately limits its own stack generation to one. The changelog does not state that a single hit consumes every stored stack.

Official FAQ clarification · 2026-08-21 UTC · edited 2026-09-02

The Game Mechanics FAQ explicitly lists Antidote or a mage's Cleansing Waters for Venomed. That supports the spell as a treatment route; it should not be described as wholly unverified. Antidote's current card also lists removal of Venomed, Dazed, Weakness and Blindness, plus 15 Health and 5 Stamina.

The FAQ does not specify normal versus Critical casting. The Trello Critical text names Venomed but links to Bleed. The healing tool therefore marks the spell's Venomed route as partial for a selected cast, rather than guaranteeing removal on either variant. Deepwound and Infection removal are explicitly Critical-only in the spell card.

Dazed already lists −30% dodge and parry frames. At five stacks it clears Dazed and applies Stunned to a player, or Stunned +3 to a mob. Bosses use a separate fifteen-stack threshold and receive Stunned +2. The defensive penalty therefore matters before the stun threshold is reached.

The listed −30% is not a published per-stack multiplier: do not turn four stacks into −120%. The card does not specify a player's Stunned duration, and the threshold does not override a target's immunity or prove a permanent stun loop.

No. Rapier's current passive grants Duelist Dance +1 after three dodges, while the status card now lists +0.4 Speed instead of its prior +0.3. The Rapier base-stat Speed line has been removed.

Only the weapon Speed removal has a matching official changelog in this review. The status amount is current WIP documentation; its duration, maximum stacks and repeated-trigger behavior remain unspecified.

The Pressure card gives three damage per stack, involving Physical, Wind and Slash. Harlod's Reveal Wounds adds a base three in its formula: 3 + (stacks × 3).

Three damage types do not mean nine damage per stack. The expression is card-listed damage, not a tested final result after defenses.

The current card restricts it to close attacks. It performs a weakened basic weapon attack after the enemy attack ends: Light −20%, Medium −25%, Heavy −35%.

These are weapon scaling reductions, not flat damage values. Counterweight requires five parries and a two-handed weapon to build one stack; the official changelog caps Counter at three and consumes it on landed counters, not turns.

The current card lists +0.5 Speed, 15% larger dodge windows and −15% dodge cooldown. It is removed on hit and at fight end, consistent with the earlier official fight-end correction.

Do not carry this bonus into a post-battle calculation or claim permanent dodge improvements.

The Chilled card gives separate thresholds: at 5 stacks on a mob, remove Chilled and apply Frozen +3; at 15 stacks on a boss, remove Chilled and apply Frozen +2. It also lists Speed −0.3 and incoming Wind/Water damage +10%. Boiling Burst's current card explicitly says it does not apply Chill with Hailreign Chronicles.

These thresholds do not override an enemy's immunity. Do not read the listed stat effects as a proven per-stack scaling formula, or count every Boiling Burst hit as another chance to reach the freeze threshold.

The open status cards describe Fire Infused as Ablaze plus Fire-type weapon damage, Water Infused as +1 PEN on weapon attacks plus Water damage, and Earth Infused as Dazed plus Earth-type weapon damage. The open Wind Infused card lists +0.4 Speed and Wind-type weapon damage.

No duration, proc stack count, conversion percentage or universal stacking rule is supplied. Wind Infusion's source link points to the archived duplicate, not the open Wind status card; the open text is a comparison reference, not proof that link has been repaired in-game.

The status card says taking Chaos damage chains to other Chaostatic-affected teammates with 50% less damage. Chaos Chain applies the status; Binary Codex's turret prioritises enemies that do not yet have it. These descriptions explain why status coverage and targeting matter.

The wording does not provide recursive bounce rules, a full final-damage formula or a guaranteed team wipe. Read the affected side carefully: 'teammates' refers to those on the side receiving the status, not an unconditional benefit to the player's party.

The Frozen card says the affected target does not get a turn, incoming damage bypasses resistances, and incoming Wind/Water damage increases by 20%. It breaks with a single hit. Bosses gain one instance of Frozen immunity after receiving Frozen.

The immunity wording does not publish its duration or reset condition. Do not promise permanent freeze-lock or multiple boosted hits from one freeze. Bypassing resistances is not the same as explicitly ignoring every defense system.

The separate Mirage Eye status card says it zaps enemies at the start of your turn, dealing 5 Chaos base damage and applying Chaostatic +2. It prioritises enemies without Chaostatic, then chooses randomly if every enemy has it.

Five is base damage, not a guaranteed final hit. The status card does not establish how many attacks the Book's Mirage Eye +5 lasts for, or a recursive chain formula. The schedule comes from this status card, not from assuming five turrets or five turns.
