While the way players fight in Dragon Age: The Veilguard has changed drastically, the overarching flow of combat has remained more or less the same. Buffs and debuffs still play a big part in battles, and you’ll want to know what each effect does if you want to make the most out of your builds.
Making proper use of status effects is going to be crucial if you’re playing the hardest difficulties in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. There are a lot of these effects, though, and if you want to know what they do, here’s a little cheat sheet to help you out. All Negative Status Effects in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Negative status effects (referred to as Afflictions in-game) work the same way as debuffs in other RPG games. They’ll either deal damage-over-time to an afflicted target, or hamper them in some way, like increasing the damage they take or slowing down their movement. These effects can also affect you and your party, and you may need to change your abilities if you want to use these effects to your advantage.
