Intro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Power isn\u2019t always about damage.<\/strong>
In Hexarion Conquest<\/em>, Status Effects<\/strong> shape the battlefield \u2014 controlling movement, muting abilities, and turning duels with a single glyph-marked state.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These effects are tracked using Runed Siglums<\/strong>, placed atop Hexmasters when the effect applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Status Effects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Status<\/th>Icon Placeholder<\/th>Effect<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Shielded<\/strong><\/td>\"\"<\/td>Negates the next source of damage this Hexmaster would take. Then it is removed.<\/td><\/tr>
Rooted<\/strong><\/td>\"\"<\/td>This Hexmaster cannot move<\/strong> on their next turn.<\/td><\/tr>
Silenced<\/strong><\/td>\"\"<\/td>This Hexmaster cannot use any Edicts<\/strong> on their next turn.<\/td><\/tr>
Marked<\/strong><\/td>\"\"<\/td>This Hexmaster takes +1 damage<\/strong> from the next damaging effect it receives, then the mark is cleared.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are the four primary effects tracked during battle. Use Runed Siglums (status caps) to mark them clearly on the unit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect Duration & Clearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • All status effects last until the start of that Hexmaster’s next activation<\/strong> or the End Phase<\/strong> of your opponent\u2019s turn (whichever occurs first).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shielded is removed after it prevents one instance of damage<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Marked is removed after it increases a single damage effect<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • All expired status tokens are removed during the End Phase<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Note: Status effects are not blocked by Fortify or Clone Decoy \u2014 they affect the unit regardless of its defense state.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udee1 Special States & Interactions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Fortify<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    \u201cFortify\u201d grants Shielded status<\/strong>
    Fortify itself is not a status \u2014 it is the action<\/strong> or Edict<\/strong> that applies Shielded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Clone Decoy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Blocks all damage for one full turn<\/strong>
    Clone Decoy is not a status, but a protective state<\/em> created by certain Edicts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Immovable<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Cannot be pushed, pulled, or displaced by effects.<\/strong>
    Used sparingly \u2014 primarily by specific Class Edicts (e.g. Hold the Line<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Overflow CE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Temporary fourth CE<\/strong>
    Can be gained through special effects (e.g. Resonance Hex), but disappears at the end of your turn.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Strategic Insight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Status effects in Hexarion<\/em> are how control decks tempo the board<\/strong>, how trickster builds stall stronger enemies<\/strong>, and how defenders gain breathing room<\/strong> without committing damage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Want to deny an enemy Edict chain? Silence.<\/strong>
    \ud83d\udca1 Need to hold a flank? Root their attacker.<\/strong>
    \ud83d\udca1 Preparing a kill combo? Mark first. Then strike.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
