Status Effects in Persona 4 Arena are similar to their Persona 4 and Persona 3 incarnations but shifted slightly to match the fighting game style.

They are inflicted by getting hit with a move that has it's properties with the exceptions of Negative Penality and Orgia Mode, which have their own special conditions. To cure ailments, the ailed has to hit their opponent or wait for them to wear off. In the case of Freeze, the frozen victim can simply mash out to break free. In addition, Status Effects can stack if the character can inflict different ailments like Elizabeth and Teddie can. Also, Aigis is immune to all other Status Effects with the exception of Negative Penalty when she is in Orgia Mode.
