Status Effects are modifiers or effects applied to units or players after certain conditions have been met. Buffs are positive status effects, while debuffs are negative. They will last for a set duration unless cleared through certain items or abilities. Status effects can be displayed over an entity's health bar, as a transparent overlay on the entity's body, or not displayed at all.
