Combat States¶
During combat, entities can enter states that change how they take damage, move, or use abilities. Overhead marks help identify them. Mark priorities govern which icons coexist; the underlying control effects can combine, such as Root and Silence on the same target.
Defensive States¶
These marks belong to the immunity group. Only one can be active at a time.
Invulnerability (I-Frames) Highest
Complete immunity to all damage. Nothing gets through. If you gain i-frames while another defensive state is active, the i-frames replace it.
Super Armor Medium
Prevents knockback and stagger but you still take full damage. Commonly granted by heavy techniques that need to finish their animation without interruption.
Defense Priority (DP) Lowest
The defensive side of the Priority System. While active, incoming attacks are checked against your Defense Priority value.
Since all three share the immunity group, you will never have super armor and i-frames simultaneously. The higher-priority state always takes precedence.
Control Effects (Crowd Control)¶
Root, Silence, and Stasis have icons in the control group. The visible mark can be replaced by a higher-priority icon while combined restrictions still apply.
Stasis Highest
Blocks all actions -- movement, techniques, interaction. Camera locked, blindness applied. The most dangerous CC in the game.
Root Medium
Blocks movement only. You can still use techniques.
Silence Lowest
Blocks technique usage only. You can still move.
Thunder Paralysis¶
Thunder Paralysis blocks movement, techniques, attacks, and interaction while leaving the camera free. It does not apply Stasis blindness. The target is surrounded by electric effects and cannot gain new Thunder Marks while Paralyzed.
Several Thunder finishers cause Paralysis, and Sixfold uses it to hold captured targets. Durations and post-effect immunity are described under Thunder Marks.
Elemental Marks¶
Marks like Fire belong to the elemental group. Only one elemental mark can be active at a time.
Thunder Marks stack separately from the elemental and control icon groups. For their damage and consumption rules, see Thunder Breathing.
Configurability¶
All mark priorities, durations, group assignments, and exclusive group rules can be modified in the mod config. Server operators can tune these values to fit their gameplay vision.
