Status effects (T1)

Funglord in the Fly status after using Flight.

Status effects are temporary effects that modify a Denjuu's ability to battle. Most statuses in Telefang 1 last until the next time the Denjuu gets to perform an action, indicated with a short message. Statuses automatically clear themselves once a Telefang ends.

List of effects

Poison

Poison inflicts damage over time, both on the turn its inflicted and every subsequent turn the affected Denjuu makes an action. It usually lasts up to 2 turns, not dealing damage on the turn it clears. Poison can be inflicted with Poison Gas, and has a chance to be inflicted with Poison Sting and Toxic Sting.

Confusion

Confusion will make a Denjuu perform actions on their own. This only affects the player negatively, making it generally useless to utilize in a typical playthrough. Confusion can be inflicted with EM Pulse and Ultrasonic.

Statuses that lower individual stats

• Burn - Lowers the affected Denjuu's Attack stat. Inflicted with Petal Storm and Heat Wave, and has a chance to be inflicted with Flamethrower, Mini Flame, and Mega Flame.
• Frostbite - Lowers the affected Denjuu's Defense stat. Inflicted with Chill and Frost Breath, and has a chance to be inflicted with Mini Snow and Blizzard.

• Flinch - Inflicted with Glare, Lick, Scream, Stare and Tooth Grind.
• Blind - Inflicted with Wingbeat and Dust Cloud.
