Poison (status)

Poison (ポイズン, Poizun?), also called Pois, is a common status ailment in the Final Fantasy series, and appears in every single installment. Poisoned units take damage each turn during battle, and may take damage out of battle depending on the game, however it can only kill them when in battle.

In some games, the poison may remain after the battle, depending on what monster poisoned the character. This does not necessarily mean that the character will take damage while walking, but the character will be poisoned at the start of battles, and the poison will remain throughout the battle until it is cured. However, some monsters' poisons are temporary and the characters recover from it during the battles.

The damage from poison usually occurs after the character's turn. In some games, the damage will not occur if the poisoned character slays all of the enemies the party is facing, but this bug was fixed in later games. In some later games using the ATB system, poison damage occurs every couple of seconds, more often when Haste is in effect.

Poison can be cured by using an Antidote. Several games also have a spell called Poisona which cures Poison, and Esuna or Basuna will also cure the effect. This is another debuff called Venom which is alternatively stronger or weaker than Poison and may have different penalties and cures.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

Template:Sideicon

Poison removes 1/20 of the afflicted character's maximum HP at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spell Poisona.

This status can be inflicted on the party through the use of the attack Poison Darts and through a majority of physical attacks, including those of the Ooze, Snake, and Wolf family. Due to a bug in the game, enemies cannot be Poisoned, though it is impossible to do so as there is no way of inflicting the status on enemies.

Final Fantasy II

Template:Sideicon Template:See Also Poison removes a small amount of HP from the afflicted character at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spell Esuna at any level.

Final Fantasy III

Template:Sideicon

Poisoned characters will lose 1/16 of their max HP at the end of each round, and while walking on the field map, will lose 1 HP per step. Damage taken from Poison outside of battle cannot kill a Poisoned character.

Game Element	Type	Effect
Hellish Claws	Weapons	Inflicts Poison when attacking physically.
Poison Arrow	Weapon	Inflicts Poison.
Poison Dagger	Weapon	Inflicts Poison when attacking physically.

In addition to the above, several monsters can inflict Poison through physical attacks, being the Killer Bee, Poison Bat, Hermit, Hornet, Poison Toad, Needle Monkey, Death Needle, Ouroboros, and Greater Boros.

Final Fantasy IV

Template:Sideicon

When poisoned, characters' skin turn a purplish hue and falls to a crouching position. Enemies gain no visual appearance when poisoned. Poison damages a character periodically during battle for 1/8 of their max HP and may last outside of battle, removing 1 HP for every step taken on the field.

All Poisoned characters also lose 42 HP if Teleport is cast. Higher Stamina slows the frequency. Haste accelerate the effect, while Slow delays it. The status disables Yang's Focus command.

All the SNES versions of the game and the original Japanese GBA port as well as the North American Advance release, contain a bug where resistance to Poison is ignored for both player characters and monsters. Poison still fails in boss battles, because all status spells are made not to work on bosses. The bug is fixed in the second Japanese GBA port and the European Advance version.

In the DS version, Poison affects some bosses like Antlion and Leviathan. When an enemy or ally is poisoned, the poison damage is 1% of their max HP and is more consequently than non-DS versions.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-

Template:Sideicon The Poison status returns as a status effect in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, and it functions the same way as its predecessor.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Template:Sideicon Very few methods are available for the player to inflict Poison onto the enemies. The Black Magic spells Poison and Bio, as well the weapons Poison Arrows, Poison Axe, Gigantaxe, and Hell Claw all inflict Poison to the enemy, while the enemy is capable of using both Poison and Bio as well as Toxic, which is specific to Omega alone.

Final Fantasy V

Template:Sideicon

A character inflicted with Poison will lose HP equal to their Max HP/16. Outside of battle, every step taken will result in the Poisoned character losing HP equal to Max HP/64. A character under Stop will not take damage from Poison.

Final Fantasy VI

Template:Sideicon

File:FFVI Poison Symbol.PNG

A character inflicted with Poison will take Poison-elemental damage once every 17 seconds, with the amount of damage done from Poison as follows. Damage will be doubled on the second turn, tripled on the third, and so on until the eighth turn, where Poison will continue to deal 8x damage.

Max Damage = (Max HP * stamina / 1024) + 2

(if this value is greater than 255 it is set to 255)

Damage = Max Damage * ([224..255]) / 256

Outside of battle, damage done from Poison per step is equal to the character's max HP divided by 32. The poisoned character doesn't lose any HP when walking on stairs.

Poison decreases the attacker's hit rate on the affected target by 25% apart from versions affected by the Evade bug.

Final Fantasy VII

Template:Sideicon

Poison periodically inflicts Poison-elemental physical damage upon the afflicted unit and does not remain after battle. It can be cured using an Antidote and Remedy items, Poisona and Esuna spells and White Wind and Angel Whisper Enemy Skills, as well as Aeris's status healing Limit Breaks.

Poison can be avoided by using the Resist spell which is the third spell of the Heal Materia, as well as the accessories Ribbon, Poison Ring, Star Pendant and Fairy Ring, and linking Poison+Added Effect or Hades+Added Effect in a character's armor.

Afflicted target takes 1/32 of Max HP of physical Poison-elemental damage every 2.5 units of time ignoring Defense and Barrier statuses. The status last till the end of battle or until cured. The damage from the Poison status functions as if it is the player doing damage to themselves. Therefore, when in both the Poison status and the All Lucky 7s status the Poison will deal 7777 damage. As the requirement of being in the All Lucky 7s status is to have 7777 health, the player will have both these statuses removed, and be inflicted with the Death status. If the poisoned character is trying to Defend the defensive stance is canceled out whenever the character takes damage.

Because the Poison status deals Poison-elemental damage, the player can absorb it if they make the character absorbent to Poison, such as with the Poison Materia linked with a mastered Elemental Materia. If the character is immune to the Poison element (take no damage from it), they are also immune to the Poison status.

Poison always deals a damage proportional to the total HP of the target. If the victim's total HP is divisible by thirty-two, the poison status will kill the victim after thirty-two damages, assuming the victim has not been damaged by anything else. If not, the victim will take thirty-three damages by poison to be killed. However, if they take thirty-three, they will generally barely have any HP left after thirty-two damages. In which case, the player can use Morph on the enemy, which almost guarantees morph will administer the killing blow and turn the enemy into an item, assuming they do produce an item when killed this way.

Poison is far more dangerous in this game than in others (where it is merely a nuisance). After taking a turn it inflicts 25% of a character's maximum HP, but this percentage varies for each enemy; this is why the early boss Tros, if afflicted, takes no damage from Poison, as the value is set to 0%. It can Overkill an enemy if it accumulates with preceding damage when an enemy takes no action. Poison can be cured by an Antidote, Remedy, Al Bhed Potion, or the White Magic spell Esuna.

Final Fantasy XI

Template:Sideicon

Poison is a DoT effect inflicted by spells such as Poison, Poison II, and Poisonga, as well as numerous creature abilities. Unlike other DoT effects, poison has no additional stat debuff, and must be cured with Poisona (or a Wyverns Remove Breath) rather than Erase.

Final Fantasy XII

Template:Sideicon

Poison courses through the character's veins, draining HP for the duration. Remove with an Antidote.
Description

The status effect Poison damages the target for 6.25% of their max HP at certain intervals, but wears off over time. It can be cured using the items Antidote and Remedy and the spells Poisona, Esuna and Esunaga. Its area of effect form is Toxify. An enemy's death by Poison does not count toward Chain level. When inflicted on an enemy vulnerable to Poison, it allows the team to eliminate an enemy without breaking chains. The damage from Poison is also unaffected by Reverse.

Poison, the spell, can be used when its License, 'Green Magick 2' is learned for 30 LP and can be bought in Rabanastre or Nalbina for 500 gil.

Final Fantasy XIII

Template:Sideicon

Poison is a DoT effect that constantly damages the target's HP. Poison drains a constant percentage of the target's total health. Like all saboteur spells, it is easier to cast when the Saboteur has buffs, or the enemy has debuffs, especially Imperil. Poison can wear off over time or be cured with the item Antidote and the Medic spell Esuna.

Poison removes about 0.32% of the total health bar per second. It is about 19.2% per minute. The player could remove health in just over 5 minutes, using only Poison. Because Poison takes off a fixed percentage per time regardless of number of hitpoints, it is advantageous on enemies with lots of HP. Unfortunately, most high HP enemies are immune to Poison. Two of the highest HP enemies, however, Vercingetorix and Long Gui, are susceptible.

While summoning an Eidolon time is "suspended" so that a spell that would last 60 seconds lasts longer if cast during summoning, making it: 60 + summon time. However, Poison still works at the same rate during summon time. The player can take advantage of this against enemies susceptible to Poison by calling an Eidolon.

Template:Sideicon Poison returns as a status and works similarly to its predecessor in Final Fantasy XIII. There are now more status healing items and magic that are capable of removing it, and the Saboteurs can still inflict it via Poison and Poisonga spells. As a new feature, some Paradigm Pack monsters are able to inflict Poison with their Feral Links.

In addition, Poison has a secondary effect that is not mentioned in-game: it nullifies Regen's effect, while still dealing damage. This is best demonstrated in fights against Caius Ballad.

Template:Sideicon Poison is a common and generic damage-over-time effect inflicted by various creatures in Eorzea, marked with a red claw-like icon. With a few exceptions, it can almost always be removed by Esuna/Leeches/Exalted Detriment or by using an Antidote. Some poison may have a stacking property, where the number of stacks indicates the intensity of the damage.

A similar but distinct effect is Pollen, which is colored magenta and applies only while standing in harmful terrain effects.

Bioblaster is one such weapon that poisons enemies, and it can be used by Noctis and Prompto.

Unlike previous incarnations, in Final Fantasy XV, Poison has different rates of damage depending on the potency of the poison that is used when combined with a spell known as Venomcast. Venom Fang, a skill Ignis learns, poisons enemies Noctis attacks. It can be upgraded to deal 1.5 times the damage.
