Crimson Moon Status Effects
Eight status effects are widely documented. Most apply damage or weakening over time; two — Marked and Sunderance — amplify damage rather than deal it, and Rage empowers whichever side holds it.
Effect Table
| Effect | What it does | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | Takes damage over time while bleeding. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Burn | Fire damage over time based on fire stacks; dodge roll to remove it. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Frost | Adds frost stacks that slow the target and add bonus damage. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Frozen | After enough frost stacks the target stops moving and acting. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Marked | Takes higher critical damage from hits. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Poison | Damage over time that scales with the poison stacks applied. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |
| Rage | Whichever side holds the stacks deals more damage; it is the beneficial one. | Multi-source transcription of in-game text |

Official Touchpoint
Hotfix 1.0.2's official notes state that in-game status effect information is now clearer for Rage, Poisoned, Freeze, Marked and Sundered. That confirms those five names in official wording and is the only status-effect change the current patch notes spell out.
How Effects Get Applied
Guide coverage attributes status applications to more than weapon swings: Boons can inflict or enhance effects, and specific Weapon Arts can apply Bleed or Frost directly. Effect values — stack thresholds, durations and scaling — are not published in the sources cited here, so this page states no numbers.
