Debuffs

From Terraria Wiki
(Redirected from Debuff)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Debuffs are negative status effects inflicted on a player or enemy during combat or through various items or the environment. Active debuffs are shown as icons below the hotbar, along with their remaining duration. Debuffs are almost universally negative or at least malign effects, in contrast with buffs, over which the player has much more control.

In general, damaging debuffs will stack: If a player is both Poisoned and On Fire!, they will take damage from both debuffs. Death always cancels any active debuffs.

Unlike buffs, debuffs cannot be canceled by right-clicking their icons. The Nurse can cancel debuffs at a cost that varies from 2 SC50 CC to 3 GC per active debuff, depending on some factors (see Nurse § Price increases for more details). This does not apply to the Potion Sickness debuff, which cannot be canceled.
