Status Effects (Chimera)

Some abilities or environmental hazards can inflict Status Effects. Both Chimera Squad agents and their enemies have access to such abilities.

Overview

Status Effects are unique character states which can be inflicted on members of the Chimera squad and opponents. They are usually inflicted with various skills, although this can also occur, for example, as a side effect of interacting with a burning area on a map. The red text on the screen informs you about receiving a new Status Effect. The Status Effect imposed on an agent or opponent may persist for one or more turns. It is usually possible to get rid of the status effects before they disappear on their own. Not every status "works" on every character, as some characters might be immune to certain Status Effects (eg. Torque and enemy vipers are immune to Poison, mechanical units are immune to Mental Effects etc).

Miscellaneous

Incapacitating

Icon	Effect	Description
	STASIS	Prevents a unit from acting, but also renders them immune to damage and being targeted by abilities.
	BLEEDING OUT	Prevents a unit from acting and being targeted but does not grant immunity to untargeted or AoE damage. This effect has a timer, and when the timer runs out, the unit dies. While the timer is running, other units can use the Stabilize action to save the unit’s life and remove the timer, upgrading the unit to Unconscious.
	UNCONSCIOUS	Prevents a unit from acting and being targeted. When an Encounter ends, Unconscious units are removed from the combat zone and returned to HQ. Once a unit has been rendered Unconscious, there is no way for it to reenter combat on that Mission.
