//A quick overview of the unit status panel. All mechanics are explained in detail if you hover the mouse over the respective elements.//

===== Physical =====

When a <color yellow>Knockback/Impact</color> effect is taken, the strength of the incoming effect determines
if the unit will be knocked back, and, if yes, by how many grids (1-3).

Buildup is increased only when the unit //can't// be knocked back by the required number of grids.
If there's buildup at the start of a turn, current <color #66ff00>Action Points</color> will be <color yellow>reduced by BUILDUP / 10</color>, and then the buildup will be <color yellow>reset to 0</color>.

//Note: APs lost this way can be regained by healing. The loss is not permanent.//

===== Tranquilization =====

<color #ee00ee>Tranquilization/Paralysis buildup</color> determines how //seriously// a unit will be slowed down
(impacts all general, movement, and combat actions) at the //start of the turn//, for the turn:
  * <color orange>20-39</color>: (Paralysis level 1) <color yellow>1 AP</color>
  * <color orange>40-59</color>: (Paralysis level 2) <color yellow>2 APs</color>
  * <color orange>60-79</color>: (Paralysis level 3) <color yellow>3 APs</color>
  * <color orange>80+</color>: complete motoric Paralysis (level 4), no actions can be taken **__at all__**.

Buildup is then reduced by half.
Tranquilization/Paralysis damage //never// conveys instant effects apart from buildup increase.

===== Fire =====

When any <color red>Fire damage</color> is taken, a //roll against the current buildup// will be instantly made to determine if the unit is <color orange>ignited</color>. If yes, a damage equal to <color yellow>BUILDUP / 5</color> will be instantly dealt, and the unit receives the **Burning status** until the next turn. The same mechanics apply to the start of each turn, very possibly leading to continued //Burning//. Buildup is then reduced by half.

If buildup is by any means reduced to 0, an active Burning status will be immediately removed.
If the unit becomes **Chilled** or **Frozen** while having the //Burning status//, it will be instantly __**SHATTERED**__.

//Note: Cryo damage dealt to units with Fire buildup must first counter it (and vice versa).//

===== Acid =====

<color orange>Acid buildup</color> corrodes (decays) //Armor// (both front and rear) at the start of each turn.
The amount of this corrosive damage is BUILDUP / 10. When there's //no more Armor left//, it does <color yellow>BUILDUP / 5 damage directly to Health</color> (BUILDUP / 10 if either Armor is >0.)
Acid buildup is then reduced by <color yellow>20%</color>. If no Armor is left, buildup is reduced to 0.

If a unit has 0 Armor when receiving //Acid damage//, it is <color yellow>instantly dealt to Health instead</color>, and no buildup is applied. Acid damage done to **Burning** units automatically converts to <color red>Fire damage</color>. While //Frozen//, a unit cannot take damage from Acid, but the buildup can increase.

===== Poison =====

<color orange>Poison buildup</color> deals **__direct damage to Health__** equal to its **value** at the beginning of every turn.
(This can only be reduced by Poison Resistance.)
Unlike the others, //Poison buildup// does not decay over time at all, **unless treated**.
When //Poison buildup// reaches a certain amount, __additional side effects__ become active
at the start of the next turn (removal of these also happens then, if the buildup is reduced):
  * <color orange>25+</color>: all healing done to the unit is <color yellow>50% less effective, -5 maximum Action Points</color>
  * <color orange>50+</color>: <color yellow>+1 to Paralysis level</color> (this can only be removed by **treating** the Poison).
  * <color orange>75+</color>: additional <color yellow>-20 to maximum and current Action Points</color>.

===== Cryo =====

When any <color orange>Cryo damage</color> is taken, and the buildup is high enough, a roll against the current
buildup will be instantly made to determine if the unit becomes <color yellow>Chilled</color> (min. buildup: 20)
or <color yellow>Frozen</color> (min. buildup: 60) for the turn. If either Cryo status is applied, **BUILDUP / 5 (Chilled)** or **BUILDUP / 2 (Frozen)** damage is **__instantly dealt to Health__**, respectively. The same mechanics apply to the start of each turn. Buildup is then reduced by half.

  * **Chilled**: +1 Paralysis level, -5 Accuracy, Melee Attack and Defense Value.
  * **Frozen**: +2 Paralysis level,-15 Accuracy, Melee AV and DV. //Can be **SHATTERED** via Impact or Fire.//

===== Shadow =====

<color orange>Shadow energy</color> buildup deals **direct damage to Health** equal to its value at the beginning of every turn. In addition, it temporarily increases the effective value of <color #ee00ee>Tranquilization buildup</color> when determining **Paralysis level**, possibly leading to a more severe effect without the traditional means (medikits) to prevent it. Shadow energy buildup is then reset to 0.

Contrary to //Tranquilization//, when a unit takes any <color yellow>Shadow energy damage</color>, a //Paralysis check// is instantly performed with a chance of **BUILDUP %** to immediately increase Paralysis level by 1, ONCE PER TURN. The value of classic Tranquilization buildup does not factor into this.
