Buff Steal (effect): A buff is stolen, transfered from the target (removed) and applied to this hero. Cleanse (effect): This instant effect removes one or more Debuffs from an ally. An animation indicates the effect. A few initial and automatic Debuffs cannot be cleansed (like Ferno's Aerial Superiority, and debuffs in Boss Mode dungeons). See Purge for how to remove Buffs. DEF+ (buff): Affected target has a boost to DEF stat, reducing the amount of damage they take for the next 3 turns. Additional application of the effect refreshes its duration. The amount DEF boosted is based on the level of the skill. Heal (effect): Some health (HP) of the target is restored, up to max health. Disease and other debuffs can lower the healing rate or prevent heal at all. The Skill (SKL) stat of the healer increases the heal effect. Constructs (except the Living ones) cannot be healed. There is a chance to score CRIT Heals that heal 2x the amount of a normal heal. An animation of floating green "+" signs indicate the heal effect. Regeneration is a similar effect but recovers a little health over time. Max Health Boost (effect): Target's max base health is boosted by a percentage. Additional application of the effect increases max health further but is capped at 200%. This effect is a side effect of some forms of Taunt, Heals and Passives (traits). Poisoned (debuff): Target suffers Poison damage each round until effect expires. Subsequent applications refreshes its duration. Provoked (debuff): An enemy has provoked the target. If attacking, provoked character must target the provoker next turn. The provoked target and the provoker are indicated by a rotating round sign. Provoked takes priority over Taunt. Remove Corpse (effect): The corpse of a dead enemy is removed, and cannot be revived. This counters resurrection. Revenge attacks (effect): If the target (or an ally) is hit there is a chance for a Revenge attack, a basic attack. Buffs (like Pumped) or traits (like Slow) can grant Revenge attacks. Revenge attacks can trigger Epics but not another Revenge attack of the enemy to prevent endless loops. Note: There is no icon for this effect. It's used on this wiki page only. Taunt (buff): Enemies are forced to use single targeting abilities on the taunting target for three turns. Subsequent applications of the effect refreshes its duration. Several kinds of Taunt add another buff, for instance Reflecting Taunt adds Damage Reflection, Burning Taunt adds Burning Skin. Undodgeable (effect): All or specific attacks of this hero cannot be dodged. The attack always hits the target.
A basic Melee Physical attack. If targeting a corpse, the corpse is removed.
