{{Images|Status Effects from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''; KHUX/KHDR status icons}}
{{nihongo|'''Status effects'''|状態|Jōtai|lit. "Status"}}, or '''Status Ailments'''<!--KHDR-->, are temporary conditions that can affect the attributes or actions of characters or enemies. There are both positive and negative status effects, and they can be either instantaneous or lasting. Status effects are often associated with certain [[element]]s; for example, the Jolt status is inflicted by many {{c|Thunder|element}} element attacks.

The status effect system was formally introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', conditions such as {{c|Stun|element}} and {{c|Percentage|element}} that would later be status effects are instead classified as elements. There are several techniques in the series that inflict conditions similar status effects but are considered abilities and are not classified as part of the status effect system; examples include [[Kurt Zisa]]'s Silence ability, [[Enemy Card]] effects, [[License]] effects, the [[Barrier Master]]'s Invincibility Barrier technique, and the [[Vanish]] spell.

The majority of status effects automatically go away over time, but negative status effects can be removed early using the [[Panacea]], [[Elixir]], and [[Megalixir]] items or the [[Esuna]] command. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', a character's elemental resistance determines their resistance to each status effect, which can be raised by equipping [[Level Up]] or [[Ring Panel]]s. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' status effects can be nullified by equipping certain [[accessories]], {{c|abilities|ddd}}, or [[armor]] respectively. When inflicting a status effect on a target already afflicted with a status effect, the old status effect is replaced by the newer one.

==Negative status effects==
===Air-toss===
The {{nihongo|'''Air-toss'''|吹き上げ|Fukiage}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It causes the victim to fly spinning into the air and slowly descend. While airborne, they are immobilized and unable to recover, and they will also take extra damage if attacked. Air-toss is typically caused by {{c|Aero|element}}-type commands, Wind-type attacks in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and abilities like [[Aero Block]], [[Aero Finish]] or [[Aero Counter]].

Data-Sora can prevent Air-Toss status effect by equipping the [[Heavy Chain]] accessory.

===Bind===
The {{nihongo|'''Bind'''|バインド|Baindo}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It forces the victim to stay in one location, either on the ground or in the air, although they are still capable of performing other actions including walking or running, while standing still, and be pushed around by others. Bind is typically caused by commands like [[Bind]] and [[Binding Strike]]. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', [[No Heart]]'s dark pillar can heavily slow the victim's movement speed down, almost akin to Bind.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', {{ns|Game|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness}}'s Second Form can utilize Dark Matter and Dark Galaxy, which immobilizes Riku's own movement while Ansem pulls him to a certain spot. However, Riku is still able to perform any other action including walking or running during the restrain, similarily to the Bind status effect.

===Black Fog===
The {{nihongo|'''Black Fog'''|黒霧|Kokumu}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', exclusive to Flick Rush. It causes the majority of the Spirit icons on the bottom screen to be covered with a black fog for ten seconds, making it difficult to see. This status effect can only be inflicted by using [[Dark Mist]].

===Blind===
The {{nihongo|'''Blind'''|暗闇|Kurayami|lit. "Darkness"}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It hinders its victim's ability to successfully land attacks. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', Blind often causes physical attacks to miss. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', enemies suffering from Blind either attack other enemies or go in the wrong direction; playable characters suffering from Blind have a reduced field of vision, and only the area immediately around them is visible. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' the Menu cannot be accessed if the player character is affected while outside the battle. [[Lock-On]] and [[Shotlock]]s are also disabled. {{c|Dark|element}}-type commands, [[Blackout]], and Flower-type attacks in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' are able to cause Blind. 
<!--Data-Sora can prevent himself from being afflicted with Blind by equipping the [[Night Lenses]] accessory.

===Burn===
The {{nihongo|'''Burn'''|バーン|Bān}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. It causes the victim's rear to catch fire, causing them to forcibly jump forwards multiple times, after which the victim is stationary for a couple seconds as they put out the fire. Each jump from the second onward causes the victim to lose 5% HP. However this cannot bring the victim's HP below 1.

Only a few characters can suffer from the Burn status: Sora (when being the playable character), Donald, Goofy, Hercules, Sulley, and Mike. Among these, Hercules will not jump but rather cease to attack for 5 seconds while extinguishing the flames with his hands; he will suffer from damage only once after the initial enemy attack. Woody, Buzz, Rapunzel, Flynn, Marshmallow, Jack, Baymax and joint struggle characters are unaffected by Burn; all but Marshmallow and joint struggle characters will nonetheless use Panaceas on themselves after being hit by an attack that should otherwise have caused the Burn status.

===Clock Rewind===
The {{nihongo|'''Clock Rewind'''|クロックレベル1|Kurokku Reberu 1|lit. "Clock Level 1"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. It resets Data-Sora's clock gauge to level 1 and prevents it from being filled.<!--

Data-Sora can prevent Clock Rewind status effect by equipping the [[Heat Sink Belt]] accessory.

--><gallery>
File:Clock Rewound KHREC.png|Data-Sora suffering from Clock Rewind.

===Cloud===
The {{nihongo|'''Cloud'''|クラウド|Kuraudo}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. It causes a cloud to appear over the victim's head, which causes commands to briefly be replaced by cloud commands in multiple states. The cloud can appear in either the state of heavy rain (3 seconds), no rain (3 seconds), or light rain (4 seconds), with the status sequentially changing between these three in said order. During heavy and light rain, Sora's commands will change to Lightning in top-to-bottom sequential order, with heavy rain adding two Lightning commands that change positions rapidly, light rain adding one that changes positions slowly, and no rain causing no harmful effects. Selecting a Lightning command will cause lightning to flinch Sora. Among other means, Sora can dispel the status effect by using [[Aero]] magic.

In the case of party members, the lightning will cause them to flinch every 0.5 seconds during heavy and light rain.

===Command Lock===
The {{nihongo|'''Command Lock'''|コマンド禁止|Komando Kinshi|lit. "Command Ban"}} status effect, called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Command Seal}}'''|コマンド封印|Komando Fūin}} in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''<!--only named in Ultimania-->, was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. It prevents the player from using any commands, and is telegraphed similarly to {{h|Silence}}. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Command Seal can be inflicted by [[Staggerceps]] Nightmares's Lockdown Shot. Command Seal cannot be cured, and wears off only when the enemy which inflicted it is defeated.

Data-Sora can prevent Command Lock status effect by equipping the [[Liberty Crown]] accessory.

===Confuse===
The {{nihongo|'''Confuse'''|混乱「コンフュ」|Konran/Konfyu}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. A confused enemy will attack other enemies, or otherwise act in support of the player, e.g., the [[Vile Phial]] will heal the player when confused. A confused character will have their movement controls reversed. Confuse is typically inflicted by commands like [[Confuse]] and [[Confusion Strike]], certain room gimmicks in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', being attacked by enemies like the [[Mandrake]], being attacked while affected by [[Zero Gravity]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', only enemies can be inflicted with Confuse; Data-Sora can instead be inflicted with the [[Flip-foot]] status, which has a similar effect to Confuse.

===Damage Drain===
The {{nihongo|'''Damage Drain'''|ダメージ吸収|Damēji Kyūshū|lit. "Damage Absorption"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. When struck with an attack inflicting Damage Drain, the character's HP damage is absorbed by the attacking enemy, healing them. Damage Drain is inflicted by Water-type attacks.

===Defense Cut===
The {{nihongo|'''Defense Cut'''|防御ダウン|Bōgyo Daun|lit. "Defense Down"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. It cuts down Data-Sora's Defense, causing him to take more damage from enemy attacks.<!--

Data-Sora can prevent Defense Cut status effect by equipping the [[Adamant Belt]] accessory.

--><gallery>
File:Defense Cut KHREC.png|Data-Sora suffering from Defense Cut.
</gallery>

===Doom===
{{nihongo|'''Doom'''|デス|Desu|lit. "Death"}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

It automatically knocks out the victim independently of their HP after a 5 seconds indicated by a counter overhead. It is inflicted by the [[Dark Haze]] command and the [[Game:Young Xehanort|Unknown]]'s Doom web attack, which traps the protagonist and can be negated by tapping {{button|x}} quickly enough{{?}}<!--how many times?--> within the shown countdown. His subsequent uses of the technique makes the starting count lower. It is also inflicted to oneself by using the [[Wrath of Darkness]] command for the 4th and subsequent times.

The [[#Time Bomb|Time Bomb]] status effect uses a similar countdown.

In other games, some enemies use techniques that have effects that are similar to the Doom status effect. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', {{nihongo|'''Doom'''|死の宣告|Shi no Senkoku|lit. "Death Sentence"}} is casted by the [[Phantom]], is tied to the minute hand of the [[Clock Tower]], and can be delayed by casting [[Stop]] on the clock face. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', [[Game:Marluxia|Marluxia]]'s third form uses Doom as sleight that must be broken by breaking a series of the opponent's cards similar to Card Duels.

In addition, Marluxia's Absent Silhouette and Replica Data in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' inflict Sora with an overhead counter at the start of each battle. This countdown starts at Sora's [[level]] and is reduced by one each time Sora is hit by the [[Graceful Dahlia]], although it can be refilled using the [[Restore Count]] reaction command. 

Marluxia's data in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'' uses an overhead count technique similar to the Doom status effect, first about midway through the battle and second when he is at 1 HP. In the former case, the timer starts at 15 and decreases slowly. Marluxia's Armor HP must be depleted and then the Dispel Situation Command must be used to remove of the countdown. In the latter case, the timer starts at 99 and decreases rapidly, and Marluxia must be defeated to remove it.

===Electrify===
The {{nihongo|'''Electrify'''|帯電|Taiden|lit. "Electrification"}} status effect, also called '''Jolt''', was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It electrifies the victim, causing them to take damage, up to 10% of their maximum HP in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and up to 12.5% in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', when coming into contact with enemies, other party members, or even walls or other objects. It is typically caused by {{c|Thunder|element}}-type commands and attacks, and abilities like [[Thunder Finish]] and [[Thunder Counter]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' and in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Electrify causes the victim to discharge electricity when making contact with an ally, causing everyone involved to lose 20% HP and ending the status effect. When enemies (with the exception of the [[Water Core]]) are inflicted with this status effect, they will stop attacking. Party members's HP cannot drop below 1, however enemies can be defeated from the discharge. If the protagonist is fighting alone, being inflicted with Electrify has no negative effects.

A variation of Jolt can be inflicted on [[Undead Pirate]]s, [[Captain Barbossa]], and the [[Grim Reaper]], by attacking with [[Thunder]]. It causes them to move slowly and jerkily, but it does not inflict damage.

A similar effect can be inflicted on [[Maleficent's Goons]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', causing them to run around faster and suffer damage, an allusion to their punishment for failing to find Princess Aurora in the original movie.<gallery>

===Flip-foot===
The {{nihongo|'''Flip-foot'''|移動異常|Idō Ijō|lit. "Movement Disorder"}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. While under Flip-foot, movement controls are reversed, similar to {{c|Confuse|status}}. Additionally, it prevents Roxas and Data-Sora from automatically directing attacks at enemies. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', it also prevents Data-Sora from locking-on to the enemies. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Flip-foot is inflicted by Illusion-type attacks.

Data-Sora can prevent Flip-Foot status effect by equipping the [[Compass]] accessory.

===Freeze===
{{nihongo|'''Freeze'''|凍結「フリーズ」|Tōketsu/Furīzu}} was introduced as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It encases the victim in a solid block of ice, immobilizing them and causing them to take more damage if attacked while frozen{{?}}<!--Requires details for each game-->. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', enemies that are hit by Sora's attacks while frozen are unfrozen after taking extra damage equivalent to an attack with a x10.0 power multiplier. It is typically caused by {{c|Blizzard|element}}-type and Ice-type commands and attacks, and abilities like [[Blizzard Finish]] and [[Blizzard Counter]]. Airborne targets of Freeze will drop to the ground for as long as they are frozen.

Data-Sora can prevent the Freeze status effect by equipping the [[Blizzard Charm]] accessory.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' and in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Freeze immobilizes the victim as usual, but it has no effect on the damage the victim takes, and will end when the victim is attacked. It also disables safeguards, meaning that enemies such as the [[Large Body]] can be attacked from points where they would normally be invulnerable while frozen.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', a variation of {{nihongo|'''Freeze'''|氷結|Hyōketsu}}, exclusive to Flick Rush, covers the bottom screen in ice. No commands can be used while the screen is covered in ice, but the ice can be cleared by tapping the screen twenty times. This status effect can only be inflicted by using [[Ice Zone]].

In other games, some techniques have effects that are similar to the Freeze status effect. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the [[Ice Titan]]'s Diamond Dust attack freezes the opponent.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', enemies such as [[Undead Pirate]]s, [[Captain Barbossa]], and the [[Grim Reaper]], can be left frozen by attacking with [[Blizzard]]. It immobilizes them for a few moments. Additionally, the [[Fortuneteller]]'s Frozen Verdict attack, Vexen's Absolute Zero and Icy Ensemble, and [[Blizzard Lord]]'s Freeze attack can freeze opponents.

===Halve HP===
The {{nihongo|'''Halve HP'''|HP半減|HP Hangen|lit. "HP Halve"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. When struck with an attack inflicting Halve HP, the victim's current HP is cut in half. Halve HP is inflicted by Earth-type attacks.

===Honey===
The {{nihongo|'''Honey'''|ハニー|Hanī}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. It slows the enemy's movement and attack speed. The honey status effect can be stacked, with each attack applying honey increasing the percentage at which the enemy is slowed, up to a maximum of a 90% slowdown. Honey is inflicted by attacks from the [[Hunny Blasters]] and [[Hunny Launcher]] [[Formchange]]s.

===HP Break===
The '''HP Break'''<!--Name taken from the in-game code. The japanese name is unavailable there.--> status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''. The victim gets their max HP cut to the amount they are reduced to after taking the hit that inflicts the status. HP Break is inflicted by {{ns|Game|Xion}}'s Recreated Data's lasers, {{ns|Game|Master Xehanort}} Recreated Data's double-blade attack, and {{ns|Game|Yozora}}'s Break Slash attack.

===Ignite===
The {{nihongo|'''Ignite'''|炎上「バーン」|Enjō/Bān|lit. "Burn"}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It engulfs the victim in flames, dealing continuous damage to their HP. It is typically caused by {{c|Fire|element}}-type commands and attacks, and abilities like [[Fire Finish]] and [[Fire Counter]].

A variation of Ignite can be inflicted on [[Undead Pirate]]s, [[Captain Barbossa]], and the [[Grim Reaper]], by attacking with [[Fire]]. It causes them to run around in a frenzied state, but it does not inflict damage. In the Japanese release, the pirates are depicted as being on fire, while in the international release, they are merely shown to be smoking. A similar effect can be inflicted on [[Maleficent's Goons]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', as well as [[Meow Wow]], [[Meowjesty]], [[Sir Kyroo]] and [[Lord Kyroo]] in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', which are depicted as being on fire in all versions of the game. <!--

Data-Sora can prevent Ignite status effect by equipping the [[Fire Charm]] accessory.

===Magnet===
{{nihongo|'''Magnet'''|マグネ|Magune}} was introduced as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''. The victim is immobilized and is pulled into the magnetic vortex created by [[Magnet]] and Magnet-type commands, as well as [[Zero Graviza]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', {{ns|Game|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness}}'s Second Form can utilize Dark Matter and Dark Galaxy, which immobilizes Riku's and his Dream Eaters's own movements. While his Dream Eaters are pulled to a certain spot by Ansem, they are not able to perform any action, similarily to the Magnet status effect.

===Mini===
The {{nihongo|'''Mini'''|ミニマム|Minimamu|lit. "Minimum"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It shrinks the victim, decreasing their attack power and making them vulnerable to being stepped on. Mini is inflicted by the [[Mini]] magic command. Enemies generally cannot inflicts the Mini status.

In the PSP versions of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can only be afflicted with Mini by other players' Mini or [[Random End]] when playing [[Versus Mode]]. When minimized, the player can't use Battle Commands or Shotlocks, and they are blown away when touching another player. Enemies that are minimized take 10 damage when touching Terra, Ventus, or Aqua.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', the party can only be afflicted with Mini by being hit by a [[Peepsta Hoo]]'s Light-elemental [[Feather Shuriken]] or [[Flaw Dive]], or a Mini spell used by a confused Spirit party member, or a Spirit that is fought in Street Pass Portals whose Disposition allows it to use Mini.<!--The Spirit's Disposition is apparently that which the Spirit had when the portal is created.--> When minimized, Sora and Riku's strength and defense are halved, and they cannot use Battle Commands or Link Attacks. Enemies that are minimized take damage when touching Sora or Riku (Element: {{AT|mag}} —, Power: x1.0), and become flattened and intangible afterwards until they grow back to normal size.

===Null Defense===
The {{nihongo|'''Null Defense'''|防御力無効化|Bōgyo-ryoku Mukō-ka|lit. "Defense Disable"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. An attack with the Null Defense status effect inflicts damage without regard to the victim's defense. Null Defense is inflicted by Nil-type attacks.

===Paralysis===

<gallery>
File:Paralysis KHDR.png|Xehanort suffering from Paralysis.

===Percentage===
{{nihongo|'''Percentage'''|割合|Wariai}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It shaves off a fraction of the victim's remaining HP. It is caused by the [[Gravity]] Magic Card, and related Sleights such as [[Gravity Raid]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', {{c|Percentage|element}} is an element with similar effects.

===Poison===
{{nihongo|'''Poison'''|ポイズン/毒|Poizun/Doku}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'', and ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''. It gradually depletes the victim's HP. Poison is inflicted by commands like [[Poison]] and [[Poison Edge]], and enemies like the [[Vile Phial]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', an effect similar to Poison appears and is caused by the [[Black Fungus]]'s Dark Contact and Dark Poison, as well as the [[Parasite Cage]]'s Dark Spray.

===Radar Zap===
The {{nihongo|'''Radar Zap'''|ナビマップ無力化|Nabi Mappu Muryoku-ka|lit. "Navigation Map Shutoff"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It disables the area map that appears on the bottom Nintendo DS screen, replacing it with a large image resembling a glaring light. Radar Zap is inflicted by Light-type attacks.

===Rewound Defense===
The {{nihongo|'''Rewound Defense'''|防御LV.1|Bōgyo LV.1|lit. "Defense LV.1"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.  It sets the victim's Defense back to its Level 1 state, increasing the damage taken while the status is in effect. Rewound Defense is inflicted by Time-type attacks.

===Shock===
The {{nihongo|'''Shock'''|感電|Kanden}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', exclusive to Flick Rush. It causes the Spirit icons on the bottom screen to be charged with electricity for ten seconds. While charged with electricity, the Spirits cannot be switched out and cards cannot be reloaded. This status effect can only be inflicted by using the evolved command, [[Thundaga]].

===Shoe-glue===
The {{nihongo|'''Shoe-glue'''|ジャンプ不能|Janpu Funō|lit. "Jump Inability"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. It prevents the victim from jumping, although they are still capable of automatically jumping to attack airborne enemies. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Shoe-glue is inflicted by Space-type attacks.<!--

Data-Sora can prevent Shoe-glue status effect by equipping the [[Feather Charm]] accessory.

-->

===Silence===
{{nihongo|'''Silence'''|沈黙「サイレンス」|Chinmoku/Sairensu}} was introduced as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It prevents the victim from using magic, similar to [[#Command Lock|Command Lock]]. Silence is inflicted by Moon-type attacks in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', [[Kurt Zisa]]'s Silence technique has similar effects, and in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the {{ns|Game|Lingering Will}}'s Command Seal Attack has a similar effect when it affects Sora's Magic and Item commands.

===Sleep===
The {{nihongo|'''Sleep'''|スリプル/睡眠|Suripuru/Suimin}} status effect appears in  ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'', and ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''. It immobilizes the victim for a period of time, or until the victim is attacked, and is inflicted by techniques like [[Sleep]] or [[Joint Force]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', when the player character is affected by Sleep, his [[Drop Gauge]] speed increases by (duration of sleep status / 20)<!--, while coming into contact with the pink gas released from jars will increase the speed by 0.1 every 3 seconds-->.

In ''Kingdom Hearts  Re:Chain of Memories'', enemies can begin battle asleep if fought within [[Sleeping Darkness]] rooms or hit by certain props, but the status is considered the same as the Stun effect.

The {{nihongo|'''Slow'''|スロウ|Surou}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. It slows down the movements of the victim, making it harder to react to attacks. Slow is inflicted by commands like [[Slow]] or [[Twisted Hours]], or by abilities like [[Attach Slow]] and [[Counter Slow]].

Data-Sora can prevent Slow status effect by equipping the [[Zip Watch]] accessory.

===Sneeze===
The {{nihongo|'''Sneeze'''|スニーズ|Sunīzu}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. The victim will be immobilized by a sneeze. For Sora, this happens when selecting the Sneeze command when a combo finisher is reached. For Donald, Goofy, Rapunzel, Flynn, and Jack Sparrow, this happens continuously, immobilizing them until the status effect wears off.

Other playable characters, party members, and joint struggle characters in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' are not impacted by Sneeze; the status effect will be displayed on their face (except for Marshmallow), but will not affect their ability to move and fight. Party members that have access to items will, however, still use Panaceas on themselves nonetheless when visually affected by Sneeze.

===Stop===
The {{nihongo|'''Stop'''|ストップ|Sutoppu}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. Stop is inflicted by commands like [[Stop]], [[Time Splicer]], and [[Twisted Hours]], and by enemies like the [[Chrono Twister]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', this status completely freezes the victim's movements, immobilizing them for a period of time. If the victim is attacked while Stopped, the total damage is inflicted after the status wears off.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', when the player character is afflicted with Stop, they can shorten the duration of the effect by rotating {{button|pspana}} clockwise.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', the player gets immobilized and takes the damage when they take each hit instead of when the status wears off.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', enemies subject to Stop will have their animations considerably slowed down for a period of time; only [[Clock Drill]]'s finisher situation command can inflict it.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Freeze Reaction Command allows Sora to immobilize the [[Hostile Program]], similarily to Stop.

===Stun===
{{nihongo|'''Stun'''|気絶「スタン」|Kizetsu/Sutan}} was introduced as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. A stunned character or enemy will slump over in a daze, unable to move for a period of time, making them vulnerable to attacks. Some enemies, particularly bosses, can become stunned when they have sustained a certain amount of damage or when certain conditions are filled in battle. Stun can also be inflicted by [[Aero]]-based commands, Mine-based commands, [[Quake]], [[Thunder Surge]], [[Sign of Faith]], [[Faithcharge]], [[Rockbreaker]], {{c|Balloon|ability}} spells and weapon abilities such as [[Sonic Blade]], [[Stun Impact]], and [[Strike Raid]]. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', {{c|Stun|element}} is an element with similar effects.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', specific [[enemy card]]s will make the player vulnerable to being stunned by certain types of attacks as a trade-off for their enhancements. Causing preemptive strikes will stun enemies at the start of the battle and the stun effect can be enhanced with the [[Lasting Daze]] map card. Riku, while in Dark Mode, can also stun enemies with the second strike of his combo, so long as Riku's {{AP|2}} is high enough. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', failing to complete [[Surprise! 1]] and Surprise! 2 successfully results in the user becoming stunned.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', having Riku destroy the [[Hockomonkey]]'s Magic Hands as well as making it stagger, or bring the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]]'s HP to 1 with [[Nightmare Clash]] result in the enemy getting stunned.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', stun works as usual. However, when afflicting the player character, its duration can be shortened by 0.3 seconds with each button input. It will also end prematurely if the victim is attacked.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'', enemies that require multiple hits to be defeated can potentially be stunned, with the chance to stun determined by the attacker's strength stat. Stunned enemies will not deplete the party's HP when missed.

===Submerge===
The {{nihongo|'''Submerge'''|水没|Suibotsu}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', exclusive to Flick Rush. It covers the bottom screen in water for fifteen seconds, reducing the sliding speed of cards to 0.15 times. This status effect can only be inflicted by using [[Waterga]].

===Terror===
The {{nihongo|'''Terror'''|テラー|Terā}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It strikes fear into the heart of the victim, preventing them from approaching the player<!--Or the other player in KHCOM multiplayer...?-->. It is inflicted by the [[Terror]] sleight.

===Time Bomb===
The {{nihongo|'''Time Bomb'''|タイムボム|Taimu Bomu}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It causes the victim to explode after a set period of time, indicated by a countdown. The explosion takes out the victim and damages surrounding enemies. It is inflicted by the [[Time Bomb]] magic command.

Time Bomb functions similarly to [[#Doom|Doom]], and the [[Fortuneteller]]'s Frozen Verdict attack in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

===Time Break===
The '''Time Break'''<!--Name taken from the game files--> status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''. It further depletes the time gauge on most types of currently available Situation Commands. When the player is hit by an attack that inflicts Time Break, relevant Situation Commands may also disappear if their timer is fully depleted. Time Break takes effect even during a [[Formchange]], a [[Link Summon]] or an [[Attraction]], and ignores the status effect immunity granted by [[Panacea]]s.

This status is inflicted by {{ns|Game|Young Xehanort}}'s Recreated Data Malice Whip, {{ns|Game|Master Xehanort}}'s Recreated Data whip attack, and {{ns|Game|Yozora}}'s Time Break attack. Young Xehanort's and Master Xehanort's attacks can only deplete the timer of Situation Commands that can appear above the Command Menu during their fights (Grand Magic and Formchanges), drain the timer of a currently active Formchange, or reduce the timer of its Finish command (if any). Formchanges whose time gauge (or whose Finish timer) is fully depleted as consequence will prematurely end. However, Young Xehanort's and Master Xehanort's attacks cannot reduce the timer of a Link Summon's Finish command. Thus, if Sora is in a formchange while using a Link Summon, its current formchange's Finish command will remain unaffected by Time Break.

On the contrary, Yozora can inflict a more potent version of the Time Break status, which can also reduce the timer of all types of Finish commands available during his fight: Link Summons', Attractions', and Formchanges'. If the player is using any of these techniques while its timer is fully depleted by Yozora, it will instantly interrupt it.

===Unnamed Julius status<!--Placeholder name: while described in the Ultimania, it doesn't mention its name.-->===
This unnamed status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. With a high probability, it starts reloading one battle command that has already been reloaded, excluding Item commands. The command becomes black with its reload gauge becoming red and takes 8 times as long to be filled. In ''Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD'', the affected command has the red gauge appear filled, yet frozen, but the command will still be reloaded with time, contrary to how it is displayed. Item commands can be affected when there are 0 of the item left, but it is only visual. This status effect cannot be cured. It is inflicted by [[Julius]]'s Crush Press attack while he is electrified.

===Warp===
The {{nihongo|'''Warp'''|デジョン|Dejon|lit. "Dezone"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. It causes the victim to be removed from the battlefield, regardless of their remaining HP. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', no experience is earned from enemies defeated in this way, though in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' this was limited to the Warp technique itself. Warp is caused by the [[Warp]] and [[Warpinator]] techniques, and by combo finishers under the effect of [[Warp Break]], except when used by Lexaeus, during Link Batles and against bosses with decks{{KHCoM}}.

===Zantetsuken===
{{nihongo|'''Zantetsuken'''|ザンテツケン|Zantetsuken}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It causes the enemy to be instantly vanquished. Zantetsuken is caused by the [[Zantetsuken]] command.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Zantetsuken appears as an ability and a command respectively, and has different properties that lead to similar results.

===Zero Gravity===
The {{nihongo|'''Zero Gravity'''|無重力「ゼログラビデ」|Mujūryoku/Zero Gurabide}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It encases the victim with an anti-gravity field that floats them above the ground and inflicts continual damage. If the victim is attacked while inside the field, they will be set rapidly spinning, causing them to be {{c|confuse|status}}d once the field dissipated. Zero Gravity is caused by [[Zero Gravity]] magic, as well as [[Gravity Strike]], [[Dream Sparkle]], and [[Miracle Dance]].<!--Transcendence?-->

==Positive status effects==
===Auto-Life===
{{nihongo|'''Auto-Life'''|リレイズ|Rireizu|lit. "Re-raise"}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It allows the target to revive once after all HP is gone and restores all of their HP, and is provided by the [[Auto-Life]] technique. It is indicated by a glowing yellow aura with shiny particles. When Auto-Life is taking effect when the player character's HP is reduced to 0, it is indicated by the HUD staying on screen and the current background music not stopping playing.

In other games, Auto-Life appears as an ability rather than a status effect. A similar effect is provided in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' by having a [[Kupo Coin]] in possession.

===Combo Assist===
The {{nihongo|'''Combo Assist'''|コンボアシスト|Kombo Asishuto}} status effect is introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It allows the user to strike enemies twice per single strike from the Attack command, and is provided with the [[Combo Assist]] technique.

The [[Double Strike]] ability has a similar effect as Combo Assist and is provided by [[Roxas]]'s enemy card and [[Peter Pan]]'s D-Link.

Drain's effects are granted in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' by the [[Search Ghost]] Enemy Card and [[Maleficent]]'s D-Link respectively.

[[Chicken Little]]'s summon, and the [[HP Gain]] ability in ''Kingdom Hearts II''; the combo finisher of [[Darkest Fears]], and [[Drain Dive]], all have a similar effect.

{{nihongo|'''Haste'''|ヘイスト|Heisuto}} appears as a status effect in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. It increases the speed of the user's Attack command and reduces the reload time of all commands, and is provided by the [[Haste]] technique.
