Status Effects

Status Effects play a vital role in South Park: The Stick of Truth , South Park: The Fractured But Whole and South Park: Phone Destroyer. They are present in virtually every one of their battles, whether caused by the player or the opponent. Status Effects can be good or bad, depending on which one it is, and some can turn a losing fight to a victory.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Status effects in Bold cannot be removed by bottled water (player and buddy) or water balloons (enemies).

Thief's ability Mug (at rank 3) can steal a random beneficial status effect from a target, although some stolen status effects have no effect on the player.
