What's the worst 'debuff' in vidya and why is it confusion?!

Wrap in Gen I Pokemon

>high lvl
>trying to level up lower lvl party members
>get confusion debuff applied on you
>one hit each of your party members

Confusion is really shitty if a) your whole party gets afflicted by it(arguably, this makes a hilarious chance time effect too), b) it doesn't wear off soon because fuck you, and c) your party is so confused it will throw money/items away.

Blind/Dark/Acc Down is my vote for most frustrating debuff, particularly if ALL your attacks are effected. Few things are worse than attacking the last enemy for five misses while it heals up in front of you.

Because it makes you suck the enemy's cock

It's stun for me. In one particular game I played, everything above a certain difficulty level has stun, it can last for ten turns, it puts several of your skills on cooldown, slows your movement speed, reduces your damage AND stops your abilities from cooling down. It's fully possible to be perpetually stunned and die without getting a chance to defend yourself, since everything fucking has stun and all of them are wailing on you at the same time.

No, It's chain crowd control that keeps you from doing anything.

any fear or stunt, taking away the control of your character is boring and stupid

You anons need to play The Last Remnant to see what debuffs are.

don't remind me user

>BETTER LOOK FOR THE OUT OF THE WAY VENDOR A WHILE BACK TO STOCK UP ON A GOOD SUPPLY THAT WONT RUN OUT

This is pretty high up on the list imo.
For intents and purposes it might as well be another instant death attack sinc most games its an effect that doesn't wear off on its own and if the whole party gets petrified it's game over.
Naturally the DEVELOPERS wont treat it like such and think it's perfectly fine to give a boss or something some bullshit way to afflict it on the whole party.

Confusion sucks, but at least it wears off and can be cured by backhanding the party member so even if the whole party is afflicted they'll naturally cure it themselves... even if a few of them fall in the process.

>Half the game has cure all item that cures everything
>Other half suddenly replaces old status effects by SUPER DUPER status effects that can not be cured by said item anymore
>Have to stock up on super cure all that only work for 2 effects at a time and clutter your inventory

Kelolon from Lost Odyssey

What's the original context behind this image? Why is this girl drooling and looking confused? Does she have the tism?

LOSARM in Megami Tensei 2 is pretty great

anime is so fucking stupid

The fucking mushroom from Earthbound
>in combat, an afflicted party member has a chance to decide to do whatever they were about to do to the enemy to your party instead, including multi-targeting PSI attacks that can murder everyone nearly instantly
>out of combat, fucks with your directional controls randomly. doesn't just reverse them - every few seconds the directions change again, sometimes even randomly going back to normal
>the only way to cure it is to talk to an NPC found in every hospital (which are conveniently located way the hell back where you came from), no item or PSI can cure it
>the only surefire way to prevent it is to kill all mushroom enemies before they can take a single turn

I'd go as far as to say the mushroom enemies were way more goddamn frightening than the exploding trees.

The worst debuff is jizzbrains and it looks like you have it.

Confusion is the best status effect.

Poison, just because its useless and forced you to open your inventory searching for anti poison

You hurt yourself in yours...

That and berserk, you just sit there and watch as your dude mindlessly attacks while getting fucked up by big enemy hits and you can’t take control to heal.

>confusion in rotmg
whoever decided to turn the controls 90 degrees instead of just inverting them is a lunatic

Bad breath is an attack, not a debuff

That debuff that doesn't let you use items (ammo/grenades/potions/etc)

Just don’t get hit

fuck right off, glad they changed the shit out of him in later installments

What is the fucking point of debuffs if you cant use most of them on bosses? Why not just let only enemies use them? Its useless to put debuffs on enemies, youd rather just attack those little shits.

I seriously haven't played a game in forever where you can't debuff bosses at all, just obvious shit like you can't stunlock bosses. It's like a complaint from 15 years ago people are still making today for some reason.

Fucking this. If there's an accessory that grants you immunity to poison it's basically locked in and wastes a slot.

because it actively doesn't let you play the game
like, you have to wait it out

They usually have an immunity to most status besides something like poison or blind or def down. Disability debuffs or slow debuffs or silence debuffs usually dont work on them
