PPQ:Conditions

From Puyo Nexus Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Conditions (状態) are status effects applied to cards and enemies within quests and battles in Puyo Puyo!! Quest. Conditions may be applied to either player cards or enemies, with the use of skills or by stage effects.

Conditions Basics

Enemy Conditions dialogue box

Infliction of conditions can largely come in two methods:

  • Directly inflicted, through skills, leader skills and stage effects; or,
  • Inflicted as aftermath of an attack
    • Note that if a condition-inflicting attack is modified by another existing condition, how the conditions are inflicted may also be affected. See the relevant sections for details.

Cards that are inflicted with conditions will have icons overlaid on them. Conditions that are temporary also have the remaining number of turns/effective times on the icons. The icons can appear on the top-right, bottom-left or bottom-right corners dependent on their types. If a card is inflicted with multiple conditions that appears on the same spot, those icons will cycle one-by-one every few seconds.

Besides checking the icons, players can also tap and hold on an enemy card to show the Enemy Conditions (あいての状態) dialogue box, which shows all conditions currently effective on that enemy, along with their leader skill. This can be especially useful in Technical Maps and Guild Rush events, where enemies may have over 10 conditions including permanent color resistances and Ailment resistances.

Effects of multiple inflictions of the same condition are not stackable. Different conditions have different rules in dealing with duplicated inflictions. See the relevant sections for details.

Ailments

Ailments (状態異常) are abnormal conditions inflicted on cards. Icons for Ailments are put on the top-right corner of the inflicted cards.

Fury

Cards
inflicting
Fury.png

Fury (怒り) causes the attacks dealt by the inflicted card to miss at a 50% chance, and doubles the damage taken. For mass attacks and consecutive attacks, whether each hit will miss is independent from each other.

Before ver. 3.5.0, the chance of missing was not specified, and there is no damage taken increases effect.

See section below for additional points to note about damage taken increase effect from Ailments.

Fear

Cards
inflicting
Fear.png

Fear (怯え) halves the attack power and doubles the damage taken of the inflicted card.

See section below for additional points to note about damage taken increase effect from Ailments.

Confusion

Cards
inflicting
Confuse.png

Confusion (混乱) causes all attacks dealt by the inflicted card to land on the same side. If the attack is condition-inflicting, the condition is also inflicted to that same-side target. If inflicted on player cards, skill activation from the inflicted card is also disabled.

The effect of Confusion inflicted on enemy cards is not counted by the number of turns, but by the number of times effective. For special attack modes:

  • Normal attacks of side-color cards: two times
  • Mass attacks (both skill-based or normal): one time for all attacks
  • Skill-based consecutive attacks: one time for all attacks

Before ver. 3.5.0, the Confusion effect is only effective at a chance (unspecified), and is counted by number of turns on enemy cards as well.

Paralysis

Cards
inflicting
Stun.png

Paralysis (麻痺) stops the inflicted card from attacking, but the manner varies with depending on which side is inflicted:

  • if inflicted on enemy cards, the turn countdown will stop
  • if inflicted on player cards, all attacks and skill activation from the inflicted card are disabled

Other than expiring after a designated number of turns, Paralysis is also removed when the inflicted card suffers any damage. The hit that removes Paralysis will land 3× damage (not applicable for Poison Poison or Parasite Parasite).

Before ver. 3.5.0, there is no damage taken increases effect.

See section below for additional points to note about damage taken increase effect from Ailments.

Cards inflicted with Poison () will suffer purple damage proportional to the respective cards' maximum HP at the end of their turn.

Poison inflicted from player cards cause 5% damage per turn. Enemy skills on the other hand may inflict Poison of other damage rates between 1% through 50% depending on the quest/event.

The damage increase effect in Fury Fury, Fear Fear and Paralysis Paralysis is not applicable to the damage from Poison, but the damage cut effect in Purple Shield Purple Shield is applicable.

Poison and Parasite Parasite are both effective when inflicted at the same time, in which case the Poison damage is dealt first then the Parasite Parasite damage/heal.

Seal (封印) disables all attacks and skill activation from the inflicted card. While unable to attack, Puyos cleared will still be counted to the inflicted card's Puyo Left to Skill as normal. The inflicted card can still recover HP through clearing Heart Boxes, achieving All Clears or benefiting from other cards' skills.

Fullseal.png

Previously, there existed a different Seal Ailment with a blue cross icon instead of the red cross icon, known unofficially as Complete Seal (完全封印). When inflicted on a leader or supporter card, this Ailment also disables the card's leader skill, in addition to all attacks and skill activation. This Ailment is only used in the Endless Quest 1 event, and is never used in game ever again afterwards.

Skill Seal

Cards
inflicting
Skillblock.png

Skill Seal (スキル封印) causes the inflicted card unable to activate skills, and stops the card's Puyo Left to Skill to count down. The inflicted card can still engage in normal attacks, or participate in skills activated by other cards (including field transform and rally attacks).

Stat Modifiers (collective name not official) changes the stats of the inflicted card. Icons for Stat Modifiers are put on the bottom-left corner of the inflicted cards.

Some Stat Modifiers have their strengths dependent on certain factors (e.g. number of colors among cards at the front, number of specific field pieces) instead of a fixed value. The strength of the effect is determined at infliction, and will not change even if the factors change afterwards.

Note that these conditions have different effects on player cards when under Attack/Recovery Switch leader skills or stage effects.

When multiple inflictions of the same conditions, only the infliction with highest effective rate is effective, while the turn number on the condition icon will show that with the longest remaining duration. See table on the right for an illustration.

Cond atkup.png
Cond atkup0.png

Instead of the Attack stat of the card, Conditional Attack Up (条件付き攻撃力アップ) increases the power of the attack when the attack satisfies a designated condition. Thus, attacks that references HP or Recovery stats (e.g. certain direct attack skills and inflictions of Attack Mode modifiers) can also fully receive the benefit.

The icon for Conditional Attack Up is normally grey (right); when the condition is satisfied and the increment activated the icon will turn red.

Under Attack/Recovery Switch leader skills or stage effects, the recover amount from heart box clears and/or All Clear is increased instead of the damage dealt when the condition is satisfied. This means Conditional Attack Up is generally useless for direct attack skills.
