Level and duration
The official wiki says every status effect has a level and a duration. Level controls potency, while duration controls how long the effect stays active.

Verified facts
What the official wiki currently supports
These cards are useful because they improve build decisions without pretending the site already has a full simulator.
System ruleVerified
Gear and stat modifiers
The official wiki says Malady Medal can raise status level, Chaos Cultist can lengthen positive effects by a flat two seconds, and the Time stat can lengthen duration.
System ruleVerified
Counters and resist checks
The official wiki says Bandaid fully negates Bleeding and Nazar weakens Fire, Frostburn, and Bleeding by 80 percent. Some enemies are also nearly or completely immune to specific effects.
System ruleVerified
Global timing rule
The official wiki says most statuses share a global timer built around two-second ticks, which is why tiny duration differences should not be guessed from video footage alone.
Keep role-first ranking honest
Status-heavy picks should stay tied to system rules, not just flashy clips.
BossesApply the rule set to fights
Use boss progression once you know which status assumptions are actually safe.
GemsKeep element swaps in view
Element effectiveness and gem-based weapon swaps now have their own support page instead of staying implied inside weapon blurbs.
PlannerTreat statuses as bounded inputs
The planner is a better home for estimated impact than a page that fakes exact formulas.
FAQ
Pilgrammed status-effect questions
Short answers for duration, important items, and why this route still stops short of formula-level certainty.
What is the safest verified status-effect takeaway?
Treat status effects as a system with level, duration, counters, and timer rules rather than as isolated buzzwords from old build videos.
Which stat matters for status duration?
The official wiki says the Time stat lengthens status duration.
Which items matter for basic status checks?
Malady Medal, Chaos Cultist, Bandaid, and Nazar are all useful named checks because the official wiki describes how they change status behavior.
Why are exact boss-resistance formulas still absent?
This page now has better verified system notes, but exact matchup math still needs a more complete extraction pass before it becomes a formula page.
