Sap

From Final Fantasy Wiki

For the spell from Final Fantasy II, see Rasp.

Sap, also known as Seizure, Slip, and HP Leak, is a recurring status ailment in the series. Sap works similar to Poison, except that it usually does not stay after battle and lowers HP at a much faster rate, but for much smaller amounts.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Final Fantasy IV

Sap is caused by the spell Bio, which deals damage and causes the target's HP to decrease continuously. Notably, Big Bang heavily damages all party members and inflicts the status. Pollen can also inflict Sap.

[edit] Final Fantasy V

Sap decreases HP continuously, and can be inflicted by some Blue Magic, such as Mind Blast and Dark Art Meltdown. The Thornlet also inflicts this status to the wearer.

[edit] Final Fantasy VI

Sap, also known as Seizure, can be inflicted by various moves used by enemies and party members. The Thornlet helmet also inflicts this status to the wearer.

[edit] Final Fantasy VII

Seizure can only be inflicted by Bottomswell's Waterball attack, which places Seizure and Imprisoned status on a character (despite it saying it places Death and Imprisoned).

[edit] Final Fantasy XI

The Bio spells inflict the Bio status, with an additional effect of reducing Attack.

[edit] Final Fantasy XII

"The character's HP drops swiftly and surely. Remove by casting Regen."

Sap decreases the HP of a character at a continuous rate, unlike the Poison status. Inflicted by the spells Bleed, Bio, and Scourge, it can be cured by using the spells Regen and Esuna or the item Remedy with the Remedy Lore 1 License. Sap can be used to counter the Regen status effect. Accessories with the Regen effect do not provide immunity however, both of the statuses on at the same time causes no overall change in HP totals. However, unlike the past games, Sap only reduces the victim's HP to 1. Some special enemy attacks that inflict Sap could inflict KO if not treated.
