Buffs and Debuffs are potent effects that Espers and Miramon can use to affect the course of a battle. These can range from adding additional power to an attack to stunning an enemy so they cannot move. In the following Dislyte Buffs and Debuffs Guide, we will go through all those that are available in the game, who can use them, and also go over the special buffs and debuffs possessed by some of the Miramon.
What are Buffs and Debuffs in Dislyte

In Dislyte, there are several different types of Debuffs and Buffs available in the game. Debuffs are typically cast onto the enemy and will have some kind of negative effect such as reducing their ATK or Freezing them for a turn so they cannot move. In contrast, a Buff is cast by an Esper on to themselves or their team and will have some kind of positive effect, such as increasing their SPD or granting them a shield.
Each Esper in the game will be able to cast a different range of these buffs and debuffs. You can check which ones they possess by looking at them in the game or following the link on this page to our Esper Guides. When you are in a battle, you can see if an Esper is affected by a buff or debuff by a small colored icon just above their health bar. This can be summarized as below:
- Buffs (Green) – these are the bog standard positive buff that will help the Espers that they are applied to in some way. These can miss their target and be dispelled.
- Debuffs (Red) – these are the standard negative debuffs that will hinder the Esper that they are applied to in some way. These can miss their target and be dispelled.
- Buffs (Golden) – these are special positive buffs that typically cannot be dispelled and are unique to a specific Esper.
- Buffs/Debuffs (Silver) – these are special buffs and debuffs that typically cannot miss and are usually unique to a specific Esper.
How long do Buffs and Debuffs Last in Dislyte
How long Buffs and Debuffs last in Dislyte will depend on who cast it and can be found in the description of each Esper’s abilities. Usually, they will last 1 or 2 turns, with 1 turn ticking past after the effect Esper has taken an action. This can include a Frozen or Sleeping Esper missing their turn.
Impact of Accuracy (ACC) and RESIST on Debuffs

Accuracy, also known as ACC, is the key mechanic in ensuring that an Esper’s Debuff hits its target. Overall, there are 4 criteria that must be met to see if one of these will hit, this is summarized below:
- Trigger Chance – Each Esper’s ability will have a certain chance of triggering its corresponding debuff or buff and this chance is outlined in the abilities description. This will be automatically calculated on casting the ability.
- Miss Chance – If the debuff or buff is triggered, there is then a check to see if it misses. Attackers belonging to a disadvantaged Elemental Class suffer a 50% chance to miss. In addition, it will also take account of any Miss Rate Up debuff that is active at this point.
- ACC vs. RESIST – Next there will be an ACC vs. RESIST check. Here, the game calculates the target’s RESIST minus the attacker’s ACC. the possible outcomes are as follows:
- If the difference is less than 20%, then the target has a 20% chance to block the effect.
- If the difference is greater than 20%, then this amount is the target’s chance to block the effect.
There are 2 key takeaways from this. Firstly, the higher your RESIST, the more likely you are to avoid getting impacted by a debuff. Secondly, the higher your ACC, the more likely you are to land a debuff on the enemy. As such, it is important to ensure that Espers with a focus on debuffing the enemy has a high ACC. This can be done by farming for the correct Equipment.
How does AP and SPD Work in Dislyte

Action Points (AP) are the key mechanic in the game that determine when Espers take a turn. This is vital to understand when it comes to Buffs and Debuffs in Dislyte as a number of these will directly impact this.
Indeed, all Espers and Miramon will move based on an Action Point bar. This can be observed at the bottom of the screen during battle. When they reach the end of the bar, then their turn begins. You can use buffs and debuffs to impact how quickly an Esper or Miramon will move up this bar.
This is where SPD comes into the equation. The faster an Esper is, the quicker they will move up this bar. Therefore using SPD Up buffs will move them up the bar quicker while using SPD Down debuffs will ensure they move up the bar slower. Certain Esper abilities can also steal AP from the enemy or increase the AP of their team.
SPD and AP are crucial game mechanics in Dislyte as they are at the core of which Espers act first and how quickly their turn will come around again. Check out our list of the Fastest Espers in Dislyte if you want one that is a specialist at moving up the turn order quickly.
