Stark raised his staff, ready to unleash destruction on the [Spider Queen].
But right as he was about to attack...
Ding!
A panel appeared in front of him.
[Silk Bind: 4%]
'Knew it.' Stark's eyes narrowed. 'So it's time [Eternal Soul] introduced the [Status Meters].'
Status effects had always been a part of the game.
The usual ones were simple enough: fear, confusion, paralysis, sleep.
Annoying, but manageable.
But these were the "basic" forms, or the more "common" ones.
The bar in front of him wasn't one of those.
The [Status Meters] were in a completely different category.
Stronger. Rarer. More dangerous.
Instead of hitting instantly like normal effects, they appeared as a bar that filled up slowly based on the actions and environment.
And once it hit 100%, you were done.
The effect took hold, and in most cases, you were helpless.
Players could mostly encounter them when fighting bosses.
