Status Effects#

From the in-game glossary: "A temporary condition that changes how a skater plays, such as Enraged, Frogged, or Immunity. Reapplying one resets its timer; effects don't stack."

This page covers how status effects are applied and refreshed, then each effect in turn: Enraged, Frogged, Immune, Boosted Pass, Retro Rocket, the forward stat bonuses (including helmets) and the goalie stat bonuses. It ends with Dance, which works differently.

Status effects are StatusEffectDefinition ScriptableObjects (namespace Rogue). Each one runs through a matching *StatusEffectController, managed per skater by Skaters.SkaterStatusEffectsManager.

1. How they work#

Applying. SkaterStatusEffectsManager.AddStatusEffect(def):

1. First looks for an active controller for the same definition (FindStatusEffect).
2. If one exists, it is refreshed (IStatusEffectController.Refresh) and returned. No second copy is made, so effects don't stack.
3. Otherwise it creates the controller with StatusEffectFactory.Create (controller class = controllerScriptName, or <DefinitionClass>Controller), then calls Initialize and Start.
4. If the skater's statusEffectDurationMultiplier is above 1, the new effect's time is multiplied by it. This comes from Status Extender: +50% at lvl 1, +100% at lvl 2.

Refreshing. A refresh resets the remaining time, as the glossary says. The code shows the multiplier from step 4 applied only on new applications. Whether a refresh keeps it is inferred and unconfirmed.

Fields every definition has:

• duration in seconds, or infiniteDuration;
• tagsToApply, a list of StatusTag values the skater holds while the effect runs.

2. Enraged (EnragedStatusEffect "EnragedEffect")#

From the glossary: "Enraged skaters are faster and every bodycheck leads to a knockout. Enraged goalies are quicker and react faster."

Effects that apply or depend on Enraged, from the catalog:

Source: EnragedStatusEffect asset, EnragedStatusEffectController::OnStart, AddForwardSpeedBonus, AddGoalie*Bonus, CheckForDurationMultiplier, OnRefresh.

3. Frogged (FrogStatusEffect "FrogEffect")#

From the glossary: "Can't use talents or ability."

Sources of Frogged:

Source: FrogStatusEffect asset, FrogStatusEffectController::OnStart (callees), catalog entries.

4. Immune (ImmuneStatusEffect "ImmuneEffect")#

From the glossary: "Can't be bodychecked or staggered."

Sources:

5. Boosted Pass (BoostedPassStatusEffect "BoostedPassEffect")#

6. Retro Rocket (RetroRocketStatusEffect)#

7. Forward stat bonuses (ForwardStatBonusEffect)#

Each bonus adds flat values to Checking, Shot Accuracy, Shot Power and Speed. Helmet bonuses use a duration of 1e8 s, so in practice they last as long as the helmet is worn.

Notes:

• A helmet's bonus ends when the helmet drops. Helmet drop chances are in bodychecking.
• The controller has a "helmet power-up multiplier" switch (SetUseHelmetPowerupMultiplier / ForwardStatMultiplier). Relics that scale helmet stats use it (inferred).

8. Goalie stat bonuses (GoalieStatBonusEffect)#

The goalie bonuses from Enraged are listed in §2.

9. Dance (movement state, not a status effect)#

From the glossary: "An effect that forces skaters to dance in place: no shooting, passing, or defending until it ends."

Dancing is a movement state (DancingFreezeState), not a StatusEffectDefinition. Because of that, the refresh rule above does not apply to it.
