Status Effects

Status Effects are negative conditions in Paladins. They usually afflict the targeted Champions with some kind of penalty, and the effect wears off over time or by moving out of the affected area.

Crowd Control

Crowd Control effects limit Champion's actions or displace them.

Abilities able to interrupt channeled Shields are referred to as Hard Crowd Control (Stun, Polymorph, Fear, Silence, Banish).

Banish

Banish locks the target at their current position while also preventing any interaction between them and allies/enemies. But the target can interact with the Payload or Capture Point.

Atlas	Exile

Cripple

Cripple prevents the target from using certain movement abilities. Movement abilities that rely on Knockback or Knockup cannot be crippled (Poppy Bomb, Broadside with Crow's Nest, Impasse with Summit). Ultimate abilities that count as movement abilities cannot be crippled.

Fear

Fear forces the target to run away from the status effect's source.

Knockback

Knockback pushes the target away from the source of the status effect.

Knockup

Knockup makes the target airborne while keeping their momentum.

If the target manages to move in any way Void Grip breaks, this includes Knockbacks. If the enemy Jenos is running The Power Cosmeum you may still break out of Void Grip by shooting at a nearby wall with a self-knockbacking ability.

Status effects that are unusual, unclear or not specified in the game.

Bomb King	Sticky Bombs

Flash Bang

Flash Bang blinds enemies near its explosion for up to 3s. Blind duration depends on how far the target is from the explosion's center. Cannot see revealed targets through blindness. Flash Bang is affected by Resilience.

Midnight

Midnight restricts the target's vision to a 30-foot radius for 4s. Midnight is affected by Resilience but has a minimum duration of 2s.

Maeve	Midnight

Countering

Resilience

Resilience passively reduces the duration and effectiveness of Crowd Control effects and Slows for the whole match. It also affects the duration of Midnight and Flash Bang.

CC Immunity

Crowd Control Immunity prevents your Champion from being affected by Crowd Control effects but he can still receive Debuffs with the exception of Slows.

Being Untargetable

Champions that become Untargetable can't have their current Health decreased and can't be affected by Crowd Control effects and Debuffs. Additionally, they ignore collisions with enemy Champions and projectiles and cleanse all Crowd Control effects and Debuffs upon activation.

Cleanses

Cleanses remove all Crowd Control effects and Debuffs upon activation and prevent them for the duration, they also remove Bomb King's Sticky Bombs.

Evie	Ice Block

Grohk	Ghost Walk
Koga	Cyclone Strike Shadow Step

Moji	Magic Barrier
Seris	Shadow Travel
Talus	Rune of Travel

Diminishing returns

Diminishing returns is a mechanic that makes many different types of effects, including Debuffs, less effective when stacked upon an affected target.

For example a Champion has 3 Slow debuffs applied: 60%, 50% and 40%. The Champion is guaranteed to get the full value from the 60% debuff, the other will diminish on top of that 60%. Their total Slow will be 75.75%.

Additionally, attributes that oppose each other will stack their diminished values additively against each other. Movement Speed opposes Slow. Damage Reduction opposes Damage Taken debuffs. Healing Increase opposes Healing Reduction.
