Status Effects

Partially unverified content

This page has been marked as being in need to be verified and/or updated to match the Arcadia Online mechanics.

Overview

There are many status debuffs (or status ailments) in Arcadia Online that work against you in many ways. Both player characters and monsters are capable of inflicting them.

Notes

The following formulae will split into two kind of calculations:

Percentual

Calculated by percentage, 10000 means 100%; 1 means = 0.01%.

  • Example of Chance (sc_def)

Initial = 50% -> sc_def = 5000 (50% of 50%) -> Final = 25%

  • Example of Duration (tick_def)

Initial = 5000ms -> tick_def = 5000 (50% of 5000) -> Final = 2500ms

Linear

Direct modification to the formula and it's calculated after percentual resistance is applied.

  • Example of Chance (sc_def2)

Initial = 25% -> sc_def2 = 2000 (25% - 20%) -> Final = 5%

  • Example of Duration (tick_def2)

Initial = 2500ms -> tick_def2 = 2000 (2500 - 2000) -> Final = 500ms

Formula

FinalChance = BaseChance * (1 - sc_def / 10000) - sc_def2
FinalDuration = BaseDuration * (1 - tick_def / 10000) - tick_def2

Glossary

  • Natural HP/SP Regen disabled.

Formula

sc_def = tarVIT * 100
sc_def2 = (LD + tarLUK) * 10

Stun

For the Monster Exclusive Skill see NPC STUNATTACK and NPC WIDESTUN.

Explanation

This status ailment causes the following effects:

  • Any flee will be negated.
  • Impossible to move, attack, pick up items, skill usage, sitting, force disconnection, and item usage.

Source code

sc_def = tarVIT * 100
sc_def2 = (LD + tarLUK) * 10
tick_def = tarVIT * 100
tick_def2 = tarLUK * 10

Stun duration formula

Duration = BaseDuration - BaseDuration * tarVit / 100 - 10 * tarLuk
Default duration: 5000ms

Stun chance formula

Chance = BaseChance - BaseChance * tarVit / 100 + srcBaseLevel - tarBaseLevel - tarLuk
BaseChance is expressed as 100 = 1%, therefore 10000 = 100%

Recovery

To assist in recovering from this ailment:

  • Default duration of stun is 5000 ms from all sources and skills.
  • VIT (greatly) and LUK (very minorly) will reduce the chance to be inflicted in addition to reducing the duration of this ailment inflicted.
  • Base level will slightly lower the chance of Stun being inflicted.
  • 1 VIT = 1% relative stun chance reduction (reduces stun chance depending on skill), in addition to -0.05 seconds (or 50 ms) duration reduction.
  • 1 LUK = 0.1% absolute stun chance reduction (reduces stun chance independent of skill), in addition to -0.01 seconds (or 10 ms) duration reduction.
  • VIT and LUK stack additively. For example: Dazzler has a 50% stun chance. Immunity from Dazzler is achieved if VIT + (LUK/5) >= 100. Hammer Fall has a 70% stun chance. Immunity from Hammer Fall is achieved if VIT + (LUK/7) >= 100. Attacks from 4 Savage Babe cards have a total 20% stun chance. Immunity from 4 Savage Babe hits is achieved if VIT + (LUK/2) >= 100.
  • Priest's skill Status Recovery can undo the effect.
