== Explanation of Status Ailment  ==

'''
 * Aim to Charm so enemies attack themselves! '''

The charmed status is a powerful state you can take advantage of, as enemies begin targetting each other instead. Once charmed, the demon will not be able to differentiate between enemy and ally and will end up attacking allies.

So take care not to have your demon charmed, and if it is, hurry to remove the status ailment.

'''
 * Bind to prevent enemy from taking action '''

If bound, no actions can be taken and so attacks can be landed successfully. Once the enemy is bound, they don't have a way to attack any weaknesses of yours, so you'll have the battle in your favor.

'''
 * Skills cannot be used when Muted '''

Muted enemies can only "Attack" and will be unable to use their skills. Once the enemy demon is muted, you won't have to worry about them attacking your weaknesses, so the enemy will not end up with bonus turns.

'''
 * HP decreases gradually when poisoned '''

HP gradually decreases for poisoned demons when their turn ends. If your demon is poisoned, once their HP reaches 0 they will die, so try and cure them of this ailment soon.

'''
 * Weaken increases chances of getting status ailments '''

If weakened, the next attack with any status ailment is guaranteed to be cast on the demon. It's alright not to cure this status ailment, but do make sure the next attack that hits your weakened demon is not one that will inflict any status ailment.

'''
 * Curse decreases HP healing skill effect '''

If cursed, any HP healing skill effects will be weaker than usual. As the healing skill effects are weaker than usual, be careful of situations when your demon HPs are low.
