Buffs/Debuffs Explanation

[Rathlord]

Alright this game is fun but the random unexplained, broken ♥♥♥♥ is driving me up the wall. Any help on the below would be appreciated:

Arthur’s Mark: Says it can’t dodge or block, but every enemy I’ve hit with it has blocked so far in this run.

Barrier: I am utterly baffled at what this does. It seems to block one attack, sometimes, except when it blocks five or zero. Why are there 4-6 stacks of this when it (maybe?) is only supposed to block one. It definitely doesn’t block one per.

Frozen Debuff: Description seems to be nonsense, says it deals damage based on number of debuffs on the enemy but just doesn’t seem to be true or is extremely hard to decipher in action. Whatever it does is insane, full frost armor/weapons slap.

Also just some feedback- vampire character is miserable, there’s basically no early game synergies. I really want to get her late game because it seems like it would be nuts but you must need absolute god luck to get there.

Barrier is anti-magic (only).
If you're only doing magic damage, that counter will slowly tick down until it expires (or you do.)
If anything else hits it, it pops after the first hit.


The bonus (?) shields you get from run start picks and the Turtle set are much more reliable.

And Red Orc blocks (all?) status effect. Freeze Attack says :"Freeze Damage on hit", he does block, but i did hit. He doesn't dodge.
Same with Electricity and Poison. Didn't try Fire yet.
