All Status Effects and Buffs in Tactics Ogre: Reborn

Part of the appeal of Tactics Ogre: Reborn is the fact that there are multiple approaches on how to handle a battle. No two playthroughs will be the same between players. Add in several recruitable characters and playable classes, and the replay value of this game is through the roof. Part of what makes this game unpredictable is status effects and buffs. The right buff can give players the number bump they need to win a battle. On the other hand, a well placed status effect can doom them if not prepared for.
