When you take part in the combat ofRune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, it might feel simple, but there are a lot of layers impacting your combat, and you might not even notice some of them. Debuffs are a perfect example of this since they aren’t that common in the game, but can still be the reason for your defeat.

These debuffs can be applied to your character through different means, and it’s easy to tell when you have them since your character starts having an aura around them. Each debuff plays a different role, and here’s everything you need to know about them.
