Status Debuffs are special effects that create a lingering, temporary change to the affected target's stats. Debuffs refer to negative changes. Status Debuffs can almost always stack for increased power, meaning having multiple players attempt to stack a single effect may prove to make a major difference. Some Status Debuffs can only be found on specific Monsters. Most Status Debuffs are afflicted by various player or enemy monster abilities. All Status Debuffs are removed upon the completion of Quests and Battles.

Break[]
| Battle Effects | Name | Max Stack/s |
|---|---|---|
|
Break | MAX CHAIN!! |
Occurs when target receives a certain amount of damage, a hidden value based on the amount of Break Counters given from an attack. Many Lancer Abilities have bonus to Break infliction, which is further boosted by Gear Skills like Heart of the Spear, Heart of the Sting, Enforcer Testament (works for all attacks, not just the Stings), and etc.
Attacks on the inflicted target deal damage to the target with 80% DEF and MDEF penetration for monsters (as if the monster had 20% of its DEF and MDEF stats), and 20% penetration for players, stacking with other debuffs. [2] Consecutive attacks to the inflicted target causes a chain, refilling Unison gauges faster (up to 13% Unison fill at Max Chain). Only one target from each side can have this debuff at a time.
Break has a chain limit of 10, but can be extended to 20 through 
Gluttony Spear.
Additional Notes:
- Cannot be removed by Status Debuff Removal.
- Can be removed by Remove Break.
- Unlike other skills, if the first hit of
Double Sting causes Break, then the Break Chain instantly starts at "2 CHAIN!!". On the other hand, if Cross Assault, another Lancer double-hit skill, activates Enforcer Testament, the Break Chain progresses from "Chain Start!" to "1 CHAIN!!". - The following are a list of Abilities with Break:
