Debuff

In Kagihime Monogatari Eikyū Alice Musou, a debuff can be found in the form of player's, Charge Attacks, Musou or skill attacks. They can also be used in boss encounters, both applied to the players and computer characters.

Debuffs can be ignored by performing Musou Attacks, entering Burst Mode and perform Burst Attack.

## Contact Damage Debuffs

### Paralysis

Renders a player or enemies incapable of attacking, casting skills (except Musou Attacks designed to work in these conditions) for a short moment. In technical terms, C3 moves with Paralysis attack that forces the target into a "flinching" animation for a short moment, allowing the attacker to use skills or Musou attack with impunity. This status is inflicted when enemies super armor is broken and they don't get knocked back, knocked down or lifted, and the duration of paralysis can be increased by equipping items that add Paralyze stat. On the other hand, decreasing the duration of paralysis when being attacked requires equipping items that give Vitality or Paralyze Resist.

### Stun

Similar to Paralysis that merely restrict the movement of a target or paralysis that renders skills unusable over a short period, stunning enemies cause the target to be unable to perform any actions for a short duration. When the attacker hits the stunned enemy again, it will cause a crashing knockback when hit and launches it.

A player, enemy, officer or bosses that has been stunned will twirling around one time and they have stars swirling above their heads accompanied by the sound of chirping birds (The same stunning/dizzy animation that of Dynasty Warriors games).

Like in Paralysis, the infliction of Stun effects to opponents can be boosted by equipping items that increase the player's Stun rating, while defending against Stun effects are done by using items that add Stun Resist.

## Special Debuffs

Debuffs that do not depend on an Attribute, neither require Player-to-Target contact in most cases to take effect. These debuffs also have a fixed chance of success which cannot be manipulated with stat modifiers such has "Stun Resistance".

### Silence

Prevents an affected entity from using skills and Musou attacks for a short duration. This skill affects only Charge Attacks, including some Skills Attacks and Musou Attacks, and not Burst Attacks.

### Sleep

Causes enemies to black out for a set amount of time. Once put to sleep, it's impossible for the character to use any input on their character until the duration of the debuff is over.

### Blindness

Will turn the Player's screen fully white for a fixed amount of time. The Character can still be fully controlled during this phase.

### Confusion

#### Freeze

Certain enemies, usually bosses, cannot be frozen. However, due to the Ice Resist-lowering effects of the Freeze debuff, players were able to drastically weaken an enemy's defenses by applying one or more "layers of ice" on a target in a process called **ice stacking**.

The duration of the Freeze debuff is affected by the unit's Ice Resist. Also the Freeze debuff can be removed with debuff purging items (such as Tasty Corn Soup or Full Heal Tropical Juice).

### Light-related Debuffs

#### Electrocution

For every five seconds the debuff is active, the electrocuted target would be forced into a "flinch" state for a short moment. All skills cast while flinched during electrocution are interrupted (excluding the Musou Attacks, although the Musou Attacks ignore "flinch" state during Electrocution effect), and the target is knocked down when it is airborne while flinched.

Electrocution can be removed with debuff purging items (such as Shock Remedy Bread or Full Heal Tropical Juice), as long as the affected character successfully casts the skills without flinching from the electrocution effect.

The Light Freeze and Light Frostbite debuff is similar to Freeze debuff and Frostbite and certain enemies, usually bosses, cannot be frozen. However, due to the Light Resist-lowering effects of the Light Freeze debuff, players were able to drastically weaken an enemy's defenses by applying one or more "layers of light ice" on a target in a process called **light ice stacking**.

The crumple debuff causes the character's Magic Attack Power, Magic Defense Power rating to reduce and also suffer from lowered speed, which is recovered over time until the debuff wears off. There are three kinds of crumple debuffs: one which affects action speed, two affects movement speed and others affecting both Magic Attack Power, Magic Defense Power.
