Stage Effects

Stage Effects are a battle mechanic in Cookie Run: Kingdom.

Overview

Introduced in Invitation from the Slumbering Moon, certain enemies are capable of inflicting a status bar (shown under the Cookie's card) through their attacks. The status bar is also inflicted if the enemy takes damage from the player's team. Once the status bar reaches the maximum points, it will trigger varied negative effects (see table below for more information). After the negative effect is triggered, the status bar will deplete itself a second later, during which the unit is immune to any status bar inflictions.

Status Bar	Information
Weary	Introduced in Crispia Episode 15 & Episode 16. Beckoning Dreams: Causes the target to fall Asleep for 5 seconds. If they resist Sleep only, they will become Drowsy instead, inflicting ATK SPD -60% and MOV SPD -20% for 15 seconds (until they cannot resist Sleep). If Sleep wears off or is dispelled, the target receives 7.5% True DMG relative to Max HP. Each stack of Beckoning Dreams Beckoning Dreams increases the True DMG. 10 stacks maximum. Dream of Doom: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. Once filled, the Cookie will fall Asleep. Once Sleep wears off or is dispelled, receives 35% Injury. Each stack of Dream of Doom increases the Injury capacity. 20 stacks maximum.
Freeze	Introduced in Tower of Frozen Waves. Crystalline Radiance: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. Once filled, the Cookie will be Frozen. Once Freeze wears off or is dispelled, receives True DMG proportional to Max HP. Each stach of File:Status Crystalline Radiance.png Unknown Status increases the DMG received. Targets immune to Freeze will become Chilled instead until they are susceptible to Freeze again.
Water Cage	Introduced in Tower of Frozen Waves. Underwater Domain: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. Once filled, the Cookie will be trapped in a Water Cage. Once the Water Cage wears off or is dispelled, receives True DMG proportional to Max HP. Each stack of Unknown Status increases the DMG received. Targets immune to Water Cage will become Drenched instead until they are susceptible to Water Cage again.
Error	Introduced in Crispia Episode 17 & Episode 18. Data Corruption: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. While the status bar is active, ATK SPD -5%. Once filled, the Cookie becomes Glitched. Once Glitch wears off or is dispelled, receives Data Corruption (inflicts 9% Injury per second for 10 seconds ignoring Max HP buffs). Each stack of File:Status World Data Corruption.png Unknown Status increases the Injury capacity. 10 stacks maximum. Data Copy: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. While the status bar is active, ATK SPD -5%. One filled, the Cookie becomes Glitched. Once Glitch wears off or is dispelled, and there is an enemy nearby, a Data Copy Clone is summoned to attack allies.
Spore	Introduced in Beast-Yeast Episode 1. Spore Dispersal: Fills the status bar upon attacking an enemy or receiving DMG from them. Once filled, the Cookie receives the Mushroom Mutation Status. In this state, the team's buff effects are reduced and the DMG received increases. Once Mushroom Mutation wears off, its target disperses spores around themselves.

Infliction

Enemies fill up the status bar by a differing amount of points with their attacks. They require 10 points to trigger negatives effects on Cookies, and only 2 points for Non-Cookies.
