State

Robots are immune to most status effects. They can be knocked out like anybody else, of course, and they also have one state unique to them.

All status ailments can be treated at the terminal; most cost a flat 50kr to cure.

SLEP The character is asleep and cannot act. They may wake up at the end of each turn, or else they will wake up at the end of combat.
PARA The character is paralyzed and unable to move. Persistent. Party leader will change if leader is afflicted. Cure with item ParalyzeNine or tech Heal1 or better.
ANEM The character is anemic and takes damage when they move or act. Persistent. Cure with item IronPills or tech Heal1 or better.
CONF The character can't see and will lash out in confusion. Persistent. Cure with item Eyewash or tech Heal2 or better.
MAIM The character is enfeebled by their injuries, halving their damage output. Cure with tech Heal3.
RUST Robot-only, the rust causes them injury if they move or act. Persistent. Cure with item Rust-Off or tech RobotRepair.
UNCN Character has fallen unconscious with 1HP remaining. Party leader will change if leader falls unconscious. Recover with HP restorative items and abilities.
DYIN Character has taken damage while UNCN, and is now in critical condition. Can only be treated at a terminal. Costs Rank × 16kr.

Emotions

Characters can also be affected by emotions. If things are going well, their mood will improve; if things are rough, they'll get stressed. Robots are unaffected by these, as well.

HYPE High morale yields benefits like increased crit rate.
NERV A nervous character misses more frequently and can fail to use abilities.
PANI Most characters will freeze up when panicked, unable to act. For Kris and Pamil, it's just a worse version of NERV.
