Buff

Buffs

Tooltip

Buffs are effects that boost a player or monster's stats for a duration or while a condition is met.

Unless otherwise stated, Buffs of the same type do not stack — only the copy with the strongest effect applies.

A buff is an effect that applies a positive bonus on the entity. This could be produced by a skill such as an aura or by interacting with certain mechanics such as shrines. Buffs can be temporary (with a duration) or persistent; persistent buffs can be toggled in the skills panel.

Unless otherwise stated, buffs of the same type do not stack - only the copy with the strongest effect applies.
