Status effects are basically the different ways enemies could deal damage to you. There are seven status effects in the game and each of them will affect your health or gameplay in a certain way. The good thing is that all those effects can be cured instantly if you have the right item. So let’s jump into it.

Status Effect	Effect
Shock	The shock status will affect mostly your stamina. Your stamina regain will be much slower which means you can’t dodge or block attacks properly.
Electric Shock	The difference between Shock and Electric Shock is that in Electric Shock you get too much Electric Blitz damage that will drain your health as well as your Fable meter.
Overheat	Overheating is caused by taking too much fire damage and when the meter is filled your health will be drained slowly unless you cure it or it wears off. The other side effect of Overheat is that your Guard Regain recovery will be slower as well.
Break	When the Break meter fills up and gets its status effect, your Pulse Cells won’t heal you as much as they should. It is best to cure this effect as soon as possible.
Corruption	Corruption is basically poison in Lies of P. When you get this status effect, your health will be drained slowly until you cure it or it wears off.
Decay	Taking too much Acid damage in a short period of time will cause the Decay effect. This will affect your weapon’s durability immensely which means you won’t deal the same damage as before until you fix your weapon.
Disruption	By far the worst status in the game is Disruption. That is because if its meter fills up, you will die instantly. So either stay away from its source before the meter is filled or cure it.
