Underkeep Status Effects: Read the Problem Before the Cure

Read the active status tooltip before choosing a response. Poison damage, blocked movement and a skipped action are different problems; a useful cure for one is not automatically a cure for another.

Identify what is happening

The developer’s development record names Burn, Bleed, Freeze, Stun and Poison among the intended combat conditions. The current player guide adds practical distinctions, including paralysis preventing movement while allowing attacks.

If a hero cannot use a skill, inspect the status as well as resources, cooldowns and weapon requirements. The same symptom can have several causes.

Choose the response

1. Open or hover the affected hero’s status information.
2. Read the exact effect and duration visible in the installed build.
3. Inspect an available potion or healing skill for an explicitly matching cure.
4. Check the current skill rank; upgraded recovery can differ from its starting version.
5. After the response, confirm the unwanted icon or restriction actually changed.

The player guide names Frostvein and Thunderwake as cures for specific pairs of conditions, and describes Void Mend’s cure effects changing with rank. Use your own tooltip to match the condition. This page avoids publishing an unverified complete cure table.

Control is not all the same

A target that cannot move may remain dangerous at its current distance. Do not treat paralysis as proof that it cannot attack. Likewise, do not assume a boss accepts every control effect merely because a normal enemy does.

Recovery between fights

If resting consumes supplies without the recovery you expected, inspect conditions first. A current community report identifies Disease as a recovery problem. Treat this as a diagnostic clue and read the installed description before spending more food.
