In Outriders there are numerous status effects from burning to poisoning. What exactly these do is shown to you by MeinMMO in this guide.
How can you create status effects? There are mainly two methods to achieve this in Outriders: your weapons and your skills. The status effects caused by weapons are mainly determined by mods, while your skills depend on the respective class.
Each status effect has a different impact and can be an important part of a build or even an entire class. For example, the skills of the Pyromancer are based on the fire element and the status effect of burning.
A build in the endgame is also based on the status effect, which we presented here: Strong Pyromancer build even completes the toughest expeditions of Outriders solo
But what status effects are there and what do they bring? We summarize this for you.
With Outriders’ generous crafting system, equipment can be modified and once unlocked mods can be placed on other equipment pieces. This allows you to build your own builds.
The 8 status effects of Outriders
These are all status effects and their effects: In total, there are 8 types of effects. These can be roughly divided into three categories:
Enemy Control
- Frost: Freezes enemies for 3.5 seconds.
- Ash: Freezes enemies for 2.5 seconds.
- Slow: Reduces enemy speed depending on their resistance by 30-75%
Damage over Time
- Burning: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds. The damage corresponds to 3.7% of your anomaly power.
- Poison: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds. The damage corresponds to 3.5% of your anomaly power.
- Bleeding: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 5 seconds. The damage corresponds to 2.5% of your anomaly power.
These values can also be active simultaneously.
Debuffs
- Vulnerability: Enemies take 15% more damage for 10 seconds.
- Weakness: Enemies deal 30% less damage for 10 seconds.
What you need to keep in mind: The status effects work as mentioned above. However, if you apply a frost effect more frequently on the same enemy, the duration is shortened. Each enemy also has their own resistance values against status effects.
Elite enemies are particularly resistant or even immune when your status effects are too weak. You should keep this in mind when building your builds around the frost effect, for example. With the right mods and equipment pieces, you can circumvent resistances.
How to enhance your status effects: For this, you can for example increase the status effect power value or your anomaly value in general. These not only affect abilities and cooldowns, but also the strength of your status effects.
This is mainly done through appropriate equipment and weapons. Pay attention to the attributes (shards) of your loot when looting.
Have you already dealt with status effects? Can you recommend particularly strong combinations or builds? Or are there effects that you find particularly useless? Feel free to write it in the comments.
