Dia (Status Effect)
| Contents [hide] |
Analysis
Dia is a harmful status effect that burns the target with light and illuminates their flaws and weaknesses until it wears off or is removed. Targets under the effect of Dia experience light-based Damage Over Time, also known as DoT, and reduced defense. As with most DoT forms, Dia will prevent the target from being slept.
This family of spell (Dia, Diaga, etc.) also inflicts a small amount of damage upon landing on the target, in addition to their status effect. Initial damage can be resisted, but the status effect will never fail to take effect. Exceptions to this are if the spell is blocked by a Magic Shield effect or if a spell of higher priority is already in effect on the target.

Other Useful Information

Dia -> Bio -> Dia II -> Bio II -> Dia III -> Bio III
Translation: If Dia is on a target, and Bio is cast afterwards, Bio will overwrite Dia. If Dia II is cast after Bio, Dia II will overwrite, etc.
