Fight Modifiers

Not to be confused with Modifiers, which are buffs and debuffs applied to a fighter.

Fight Modifiers are special features that have a impact on the course of a fight. They may benefit either, your team or the opponent's, or both. They are present in every Daily Events fight and in every fight within the Rift Battle gamemode. Several Prize Fights and Origin Stories also include forms of Fight Modifiers.

Tips and Strategy

Fight Modifiers can be really nasty and dangerous, capable of turning an seemingly easy task into a real nightmare. When in the player's benefit, however, there are some characters that have incredible synergy with specific effects. Some Modifiers can be denied or mitigated.

Counters:

• You can counter Initiative and Mana Sap by not equipping any Blockbusters.
• Vampire can be countered with an HEAL BLOCK effect.
• Reactive Armor can be circumvented with buff removal, CURSE or an ARMOR BREAK effect, which several Special Moves/Blockbusters can inflict.
• IMMUNITY allows you to bypass Breakdown, Barbed Wire, Taser and Live Wire.
• Barbed Wire can be countered by using Bloodbath Eliza or any Valentine running the ICU Marquee Ability.
• Initiative can be countered with WITHER and DISABLE BLOCKBUSTERS, some fighters such as Ivy League and Bad Ms Frosty can counter it effectively.
• First Aid can be blocked with a HEAL BLOCK or CURSE, or countered with a BLEED.
• Combomancer can be mitigated by using Brain Freeze.
• That's All Folks can mitigate both: Touché and True Strike with her second SA.

Synergies:

• Cold Stones, Private Dick, Resonant Evil and Parasite Weave can benefit from the Nerve Agent.
• Epic Sax benefits from Combomancer.
• Concrete Resolve works well with fighters that rely on buffs, such as Surgeon General.
• Double can benefit from Sacrosanct while transmuting.
• Dread Locks can benefit from Perfect block, Taser and Barbed Wire/Live Wire.
• Most Peacocks with Assemble Cast Marquee can benefit from Zoetrope.
