Status Effect

A Status effect is an effect applied to a character other than the direct damage of a basic attack, special attack, or super move.

Stun
Stunned characters cannot take any action, including blocking and tagging out. Batman/Insurgency's basic attacks deal greatly increased damage against stunned opponents.

Freeze
Freeze is similar to stun, except that it does not interact with Batman/Insurgency's passive, and cannot be resisted by anti-stun effects, such as Green Lantern/Red Son's passive.

Previously, frozen opponents are kept frozen until hit, and until more recently, take double damage from the next hit while frozen. These two features have since been removed.

Damage over time
Damage over time (DOT) effects causes affected characters to gradually lose health for a certain duration.

Bleed
Bleeding characters take 20% increased damage from all sources. This stacks additively with itself (e.g. if there are 3 active bleeds on a character, they take 60% increased damage) and multiplicatively with other sources of damage amplification.

Poison
Poisoned characters deal 20% less damage. Unlike bleed, this does not stack with itself and stacks additively with other damage modifiers.

Burning
A burning effect causes characters to take damage over time with no additional effects other than increasing Catwoman/Regime and Catwoman/Prime's basic attack damage against the burning opponent.

Mental damage
Mental damage causes characters to take damage over time with no additional effects other than increasing Catwoman/Regime and Catwoman/Prime's basic attack damage.

Mental damage is only found on Martian Manhunter's passive.
