Debuffs

Debuffs are a gameplay mechanic in the Azure Striker Gunvolt series. Select few enemy attacks have unique negative properties that affect the player characters.
== Overheat ==
This debuff occurs when Gunvolt's EP level reaches zero, either through overuse of EP-consuming abilities, certain enemy attacks, or attempting to use the Flashfield underwater. While Overheating, Gunvolt won't be able to use EP-consuming abilities such as Flashfield or Prevasion, as well as being unable to manually recharge EP. Gunvolt will return to normal with full EP after 3 seconds, though Equipment such as the Quill Signet or Blue Streak Band can shorten or lengthen this duration. Gunvolt can also escape this state and recharge his EP by using the Support Skill Split Second.
== Stone ==
This debuff is applied when Gunvolt looks at Elise's Gorgon Gaze attack or Copen's imitation of it, Jealousic Gorgon. Once the negative effect is applied, Gunvolt becomes immobile and takes more damage from attacks than usual. The effect will not wear off on its own; in order to break free, you must rapidly tap the direction buttons.
A similar debuff is present in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, if the player gets caught in any of the abundant Iron Maiden traps present in Gibril's stage.
== Chaff ==
This debuff is the most dangerous of the three existing ones. The negative status is applied when Gunvolt touches the Greed Snatcher bullets (Azure Striker Gunvolt only; the bullets merely make him overheat in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2). While Chaff has similar properties to Overheat, the effect takes 10 seconds to wear off, after which Gunvolt will enter the Overheat state until his EP is restored. You can either wait it out or restore all your EP by using the Support Skill Split Second.
In Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, the Chaff debuff applies to Kirin only, and when applied, causes her to lose all of talismans and be unable to replenish them via reloading for 5 seconds. When GV is hit by a Greed Snatcher bullet, the Fetters gauge is decreased by a flat 50%.
== Frozen ==
Present only in Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2. When hit with an ice attack, Copen will be frozen, requiring the player to repeatedly move to break free.
== Defense Down ==
Present only in Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2, and only from Mother 2's SP Skill, Idea Code: Rain/Instinct Code: Downpour. Once triggered, Copen's defense is lowered for the rest of the fight, resulting in greater damage taken.
