Status Effects in 33 Immortals are special conditions that are inflicted upon enemies or bosses to impair, weaken, or control them in combat. These effects are applied through specific weapons, co-op powers, or Relics, and they play a critical role in crowd control, team coordination, and boss strategy.

Overview

Status effects allow players to:

• Temporarily disable or debilitate enemies
• Increase team damage by exposing weaknesses
• Set up combos or burst windows in raid environments
• Amplify the value of co-op abilities and relics

Some status effects stack with others, while some override or reset durations depending on the source.

Common Status Effects

Stun

• Temporarily disables enemy movement and attacks
• Commonly applied by Sword of Justice or Daggers of Greed heavy attacks
• Excellent for interrupting elite enemies and bosses

Slow

• Reduces enemy movement speed
• Applied through Staff of Sloth's Torpor and related relics
• Duration and area scale with Empathy

Expose / Weakness

• Increases the amount of damage enemies take from all sources
• Applied via combo attacks, specific relics, or co-op synergy
• Crucial during boss vulnerability windows

Marking

• Highlights an enemy or boss for targeted damage increase
• Often tied to co-op abilities or elite relic effects
• May enable team-wide buffs when striking marked enemies

Application Sources

Status effects are applied through:

• Weapon abilities and co-op powers (e.g., heavy slashes, AoE pulses)
• Relics such as Empyreal Light (100% status application to bosses)
• Combos involving multiple team members (stacked slow zones or stuns)
• Weapon masteries that convert damage into control effects

Strategic Use

• Combine effects — slow enemies before stunning for guaranteed control
• Save high-damage abilities for moments when enemies are exposed or marked
• Use AoE status effects to lock down enemy waves in Torture Chambers
• Apply effects to bosses during stagger or after breaking a health bar for burst potential

Boss Synergy

Some Boss Relics specifically benefit from status application:

• Empyreal Light – Allows full effect status on bosses
• Coffer of the Devoted – Bonus damage to stunned, exposed, or marked bosses

Status effects become essential tools during raid encounters, allowing coordinated players to cycle through crowd control, debuffing, and finishing attacks.

Summary

Status Effects are a foundational part of combat in *33 Immortals*. They offer control, synergy, and burst potential when used effectively. From freezing bosses mid-attack to weakening entire enemy waves, mastering status effects can determine the outcome of rebellion.
