FFD Add Status

Whip inflicting Paralyze in Final Fantasy Dimensions.

Add Status (追加効果発動, Tsuika Kōka Hatsudō?) is a recurring ability or an effect found innate in a weapon that adds status effects to a character's physical attack. Abilities with the "Touch" (攻撃) suffix allow the player to inflict statuses with attacks.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy II[]

There are four weapons that inflict opponents with statuses on hit: The Dark Bow, which inflicts targets with Blind, the Ancient Sword, which inflicts Curse, the Sleep Sword, which inflicts Sleep, and the Poison Axe, which inflicts Poison. Using Poison Axe is the only way to poison opponents, but the damage is negligible—usually 2.

Final Fantasy V[]

The Mystic Knight's Spellblade command can be used with status spells. When Spellblade is used with a status effect inflicting spell, the status will be inflicted onto the target 100% of the time, unless the target is immune.

Several weapons also have a chance of inflicting opponents with statuses. Weapons that inflict a status on hit and weapons that cast a spell on hit are different; some weapons like the Sleep Blade do not actually inflict the Sleep status on hit, but the blade has a chance of randomly casting the Sleep spell, which in turn may inflict the status.

Weapon Status Rate
Death Sickle Instant Death 33%
Dark Bow Blind 66%
Killer Bow Instant Death (even on undead) 8%
Fairy's Bow Confusion 12%
Lamia's Harp Confusion 100%
Mage Masher Silence 33%
Assassin Dagger Instant Death 25%
Demon's Rod Instant Death 16%
Kagenui Stop 20%
Ancient Sword Old 33%
Non-elemental Whips Paralysis 50%

Final Fantasy VI[]

Weapons that inflict Instant Death restore undead opponents to full health, apart from the Zantetsuken, which slices opponents in half. Weapons that inflict a status on hit and weapons that have a chance of casting a spell on hit are different; for example, the Stoneblade can cast the spell Break on hit, but the weapon itself has no status.

Weapon Status Rate
Assassin's Dagger Instant Death 25%
Ichigeki Instant Death 25%
Zantetsuken Instant Death 25%
Wing Edge Instant Death 25%
Viper Darts Instant Death 25%

Final Fantasy VII[]

The Added Effect Support Materia Materia adds the linked Materia's status to the character's physical attacks when used in a linked slot in a character's weapon. This enables the character to attack with various statuses. Alternatively, when linked on a character's armor, it can provide immunity.

The paired Materia's level does not matter, the user will automatically gain all the paired Materia's effects; e.g. when paired with a level 1 Transform, the wielder will still gain the effects of both Mini and Toad, even though the Materia has not learned Toad yet. The chance of inflicting the target with the status(es) during a physical attack is 19%.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-[]

Status Attack is a support materia, which allows for statuses from the other equipped Materia to be added to physical attacks. Various accessories also add a status to Zack's physical attack.

List of accessories that add a status to physical attack:

Final Fantasy VIII[]

ST-Atk-J enables the player to junction status magic into a character's attack, which will inflict the status at fixed percentages (1% for every stock of the spell junctioned). Pain is the only spell to inflict multiple statuses. ST-Atk-J can be learned from the Guardian Forces Siren, Carbuncle, Cerberus and Doomtrain for 160 AP, or can be taught to any GF by using the Status Atk item.

Final Fantasy IX[]

When Add Status is equipped, there is a small chance to inflict the target of their Attack with the equipped weapon's status effect. It can be learned by Zidane (35 AP), Vivi (25 AP), Steiner (50 AP), Freya (25 AP), Quina (35 AP), and Amarant (20 AP), and is learned from the Bone Wrist, Chimera Armlet, Bracer, Feather Hat, Twist Headband, Glass Buckle, and Thunder Gloves. Add Status costs 3 Magic Stones to equip.

Final Fantasy X[]

Touch abilities add a status to a character's physical attack. They inflict statuses onto opponents with a base chance of 50%, compared to Strike auto-abilities with a 100% base chance. Touch weapons are received as drops from opponents, and can be customized into weapons with items.

It is possible to have both a Touch and a Strike ability of the same status on a weapon if the Touch ability is added first. This gives a cumulative effect, with a result that the weapon has a 150% chance of inflicting the status. This can be useful against enemies that have partial, but not full, resistance to the status in question.

Final Fantasy X-2[]

The player can add statuses to regular physical attacks and other skills with accessories.
