Buff and Debuff are two common phrases used to explain status effects on Heroes. Some Special Skills can leave a negative Status Effect on the opponent, or apply a positive Status Effect to your team.

Buff - Any effect that increases the performance or statistics of your Heroes.

Debuff - Any effect that decreases the performance or statistics of your Heroes.

Status Effect - Status Effects affect Heroes in multiple ways. Much like a Debuff, they have negative consequences to the affected Hero.

Please note - Buffs, Debuffs and Status Effects are shown at the base of the affected Heroes image for the duration of their effect. You can also view how many turns are remaining on the effect by tapping and holding on the affected Hero.
