KO (Final Fantasy IV)

KO is a status in Final Fantasy IV. This status has the highest priority, and when set. It means HP is equal to 0, the character will be unable to take any action because the ATB bar will not increase. When inflicted on enemies, they will die and disappear when this status is afflicted on them.
The KO status has the following properties. Physical attacks on a target that has KO are automatically re-targeted, and magical attacks on such a target are not re-targeted unless it was on a single target. Having this status counts as dead for determining a game over. This status will effectively remove all other statuses except for Toad, Mini, Pig, Blind, Silence, and Float.
