There are two basic categories of Status Effects in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - positive and negative. You’ll find that most positive status effects can be used by yourself or allies to empower each other, and you can also inflict most negative status effects against enemies. At the same time, most regular / elite enemies and bosses can inflict negative status effects on your character or your allies, and they can sometimes buff each other with positive status effects. We’ll detail what each one does on this page, and include icons for you to recognize them in combat.

All Positive and Negative Status Effects in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty¶

If you’re wondering how you can tell whether you’ve applied or received one of the effects detailed below, you can check for this beneath your health and Spirit bar, as shown in the screenshot below. You’ll notice the icon pop up whenever you receive an effect, and disappear whenever it expires, or when it’s cured. You can cure (or dispel) some effects by using a positive effect from a specific elemental phase, all of which are noted in the descriptions where relevant.

You should also be aware that some negative effects which can be applied to enemies will be cured from them if they’re hit with an attack of a specific elemental phase. This is also noted where relevant, and it should be kept in mind as it may determine the type of weapon or spells that you use in specific fights.

Positive Status Effects¶

There’s a total of 38 positive status effects in Wo Long, but keep in mind that some of these provide essentially the same effect, with some differences in how they can be dispelled. For example, the regular Damage Reduction status effect will last for as long as its base duration (which itself isn’t consistent due to being dependent on how it’s applied), but the Damage Reduction - Toxin variant will have the vulnerability of being dispelled if you’re hit by a toxin-based attack.

Negative Status Effects¶

There are 14 negative status effects in Wo Long, but you will need to pay attention to the color of the effect when you receive it. This will indicate whether it’s a Wood, Water, Metal, Earth, or Fire Phase effect, and you’ll know to use a positive effect of the correct phase to dispel (cure) the effect. You can often tell in advance based on the enemy that you’re fighting, since the element phase they’re wielding will often be obvious based on whether you see fire, water etc being used in their attacks. Most of these effects are applicable to the player, but you can also apply them to enemies so long as you have an appropriate weapon, martial art, or spell.
