Hero Wars Debuffs and Status Effects - Hero Wars Central
In Hero Wars, Heroes, Titans, and Pets can cause various status effects on allies and enemies. Most effects are specific to the corresponding skill and are explained in the skill description.
Overview[]
A small overview of effects:
- Blind - All attacks (even if based on magic attack) that do physical damage, will miss
- Control - Affected hero fights for the opponent's side
- Paralyse - Hero cannot take any action (but can dodge attacks)
- Silence - Stop skills based on magic attack (also if the skill does physical damage like Cornelius' ult), skills that do not do any damage (like healing effects like Fafnir's ultimate skill). It doesn't stop any base attacks no matter the damage type (it doesn't stop Satori and Celeste basic attack). It doesn't stop any skill that does physical damage and is not based on magic attack.
- Slow - Slows attack, movement, and/or skill speed depending on the skill
- Stun - Hero cannot take any action (and cannot dodge any attacks)
Note: The difference between Stun and Paralyse is that Sebastian cannot block Paralyse and several other debuffs, Celeste, and Yasmine can block them, Nebula can remove them.
