'''Status effects''', 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, which can be cast by both the protagonists and antagonists using various offensive and defensive abilities. A status effect can be instantaneous, like cutting the victim's HP in half, or it can be lasting, like slowing all of the victim's actions.

 

The status effect system is sometimes tied to the element system; for example, ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' both allow the protagonist to sometimes inflict a status effects matching the element they are attacking with, and each of the thirteen [[Organization XIII]]-based elements in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' has a corresponding status effect that it can inflict.

The {{nihongo|'''Command Lock'''|コマンド禁止|Komando Kinshi|lit. "Command Ban"}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. It prevents Data-Sora from using any commands, similar to [[#Silence|Silence]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', [[Staggerceps]] Nightmares can use an attack having a similar effect.<!--

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.

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. <!--

The {{nihongo|'''Poison'''|ポイズン/毒|Poizun/Doku}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''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 [[Black Fungus]] and [[Vile Phial]].

The {{nihongo|'''Sleep'''|スリプル/睡眠|Suripuru/Suimin}} status effect appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', ''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 character is affected by Sleep, his [[Drop Gauge]] speed increases. In ''Kingdom Hearts  Re:Chain of Memories'', enemies can begin battle asleep if fought within [[Sleeping Darkness]] rooms or hit by certain props.

The {{nihongo|'''Stop'''|ストップ|Sutoppu}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It 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 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', when the player character is affected by the Stop status, they only get immobilized and take the damage the moment they take each hit. Stop is inflicted by commands like [[Stop]], [[Time Splicer]], and [[Twisted Hours]], or by enemies like the [[Chrono Twister]].

The {{nihongo|'''Stun'''|気絶「スタン」|Kizetsu/Sutan}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. 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 Blitz]], [[Sign of Faith]], [[Faithcharge]], [[Rockbreaker]], [[Balloon]] spells and weapon abilities such as [[Sonic Blade]], [[Stun Impact]], and [[Strike Raid]].  

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.

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]].

The {{nihongo|'''Auto-Life'''|リレイズ|Rireizu|lit. "Re-raise"}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It allows the user to revive once after all HP is gone and restores some HP, and is provided by the [[Auto-Life]] technique. In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it is provided by summoning Tinker Bell or [[Peter Pan]] respectively. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it is provided by equipping the '''Auto-Life''' panel, which can be leveled up by linking '''Auto-Life LV+''' panels into it to increase the amount of HP restored. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', it is provided by having a [[Kupo Coin]] in possession.

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

The {{nihongo|'''Drain'''|ドレイン|Dorein}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It allows the user to recover a small amount of HP each time the player character hits an enemy, depending on how much damage the attack dealt, and is provided by techniques like [[Drain]] or the combo finisher of [[Darkest Fears]]. [[Chicken Little]]'s summon in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' has a similar effect.

The '''Invincibility''' status effect is introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It prevents the user from receiving any damage, similar to the invincibility frames of certain techniques, and is provided by the [[Invincible]] technique. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', [[Hercules]] is able to cast a golden aura on himself that makes him invincible, and this can only be removed by hitting him with a barrel.{{?}} In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the [[Barrier Master]] is able to cast a barrier on other enemies to protect them from all damage, but the Barrier Master itself is left unprotected; the only way to remove the barrier is to knock away the Barrier Master's book or slay it.{{?}}<!--confirm names of these techniques -- see Doom for proper format for describing them; confirm whether ultimanias call them a status effect, or if they are simply "similar"; revise lead sentence accordingly--> Similarily, the [[Platinum Card]] from ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' has the same effect and provides the Invincible effect.

The {{nihongo|'''Regen'''|リジェネ|Rijene}} status effect was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It allows the user to restore a small amount HP automatically over time, and is provided by techniques like [[Regen]], [[Regen-L]], or [[Cure Sun]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Regen is generally cast by summoning Tinker Bell or Peter Pan, respectively. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the [[Cura]] spell has a Regen effect. In ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', the HP Regen [[EZ Code]] has this effect, and the MP Regen and Focus Regen EZ Codes have similar effects for the MP and Focus Gauges, respectively.
