List of All Negative Status Effects

Updated Negative Status Effects

Negative Status	Effects
Spectro Frazzle	・Spectro Frazzle deals Spectro DMG to the target at regular intervals during its duration, while reducing one stack of Spectro Frazzle effect. ・The DMG inflicted by the effect depends on the Resonator level, the enemy's DEF and RES, and the number of stacks. ・It is not influenced by the Resonator's ATK, Crit Rate, and other factors. Only certain Spectro attacks inflict a stackable Spectro Frazzle effect.
Aero Erosion	・Aero Erosion inflicts Aero DMG on the target at regular intervals as long as it lasts, with more stacks resulting in greater damage. Only certain Aero attacks will inflict stackable Aero Erosion on enemies.
Electro Flare	・While Electro Flare is active, it weakens the target's ATK, with more stacks further reducing their strength. Only certain Electro attacks will inflict stackable Electro Flare on enemies.
Fusion Burst	・Once Fusion Burst hits its max stacks, it ignites and removes the stacks, dealing Fusion DMG. Only certain Fusion attacks will inflict stackable Fusion Burst on enemies.
Glacio Chafe	・As Glacio Chafe stacks increase, the target's speed gradually decreases. ・Upon reaching max stacks, the target is frozen, and the stacks of Glacio Chafe are removed. Only certain Glacio attacks will inflict stackable Glacio Chafe on enemies.
Havoc Bane	・Havoc Bane accumulates stacks automatically while it remains active. ・Once it reaches its maximum stacks, it deals Havoc DMG to the target, removes Havoc Bane, and applies Havoc Bane to nearby characters. Only certain Havoc attacks will inflict Havoc Bane on enemies.

From the release of Version 2.0, Wuthering Waves has made it so that status effects can now stack on enemies, instead of the effects stacking on our characters alone.

It is not a universal element mechanic rework and only certain Resonators have moves that can explicitly inflict status effects on enemies.

Current Rover has Aero (Healer), Havoc (Main DPS) and Spectro (Sub DPS). My take is the 3 remaining elements would be Glacio for Healer, Fusion for Main DPS and Electro for Sub DPS.
