An effect can mean two things: a game mechanism, or one application of that mechanism.
They are used in the description of a weapon or a chip. You can get them with getWeaponEffects and getChipEffects respectively. The passive effects of forgotten weapons can also be retrieved, in the same format, with the getWeaponPassiveEffects function. The result is a list of effects, in the form of an array of arrays. Each effect is made up of:
Constant name Value Action
EFFECT_DAMAGE 1 Removes life points from an entity. Amplified by strength. Interacts with shields, life steal and damage return. Reduces maximum life points by 5% of the amount removed.
EFFECT_HEAL 2 Restores life points to an entity, up to its maximum life points. Amplified by wisdom.

EFFECT_DAMAGE_TO_RESISTANCE 63 Gives resistance based on the damage received (EFFECT_DAMAGE).
EFFECT_SUPERINFECTION 64 Converts a percentage of the target's poisons (EFFECT_POISON) into immediate damage. Each poison loses a turn.
All effects have a minimum and a maximum value. The final value is drawn at random between the minimum and the maximum.
If you want to be sure not to overestimate the value of the effect, use the min. If you're feeling lucky, go for the max. Can't decide? An average of the min and the max will do the trick.
It's up to you to decide what value you expect to get!
The following formula lets you choose a confidence coefficient: if it is 0, final_value will be equal to effect_min; if it is 1, final_value will be equal to effect_max. Here it is 0.5, to get the average.
Don't forget that the value of the effect can be multiplied by 1.3 on a critical hit!
This is the number of turns during which the effect stays active on the target.
For one-off effects (heals, poisons, damage), a value of 0 means that the effect takes place as soon as it is cast, and a non-zero value (1 or more) makes it act at the start of the target's turn.
The entities affected by an effect are encoded in binary: if the bit for a category of entities is 1, that category is affected by the effect.
To test whether an entity is affected, you then use the bitwise AND operator (symbol &), which here lets you check the state of a single bit of the given number (the == and === operators can't be used: several bits can be set at the same time).
Effect Value (binary) Value (numeric) Affected entities
EFFECT_TARGET_ENEMIES 00001 1 enemies of the entity applying the effect
EFFECT_TARGET_ALLIES 00010 2 entities allied with the one applying the effect
EFFECT_TARGET_CASTER 00100 4 the entity applying the effect
EFFECT_TARGET_NON_SUMMONS 01000 8 leeks, chests, turrets and mobs (anything that isn't a bulb)
EFFECT_TARGET_SUMMONS 10000 16 bulbs
For example, if the number representing the affected entities is 14 (in binary: 01110), the effect affects allied leeks, as well as the one applying it. So bulbs and enemies won't be affected.
The following code tests whether an effect affects enemy bulbs:
Like affected entities, modifiers are encoded in binary. These modifiers apply to the effect to change its target or its value.
EFFECT_MODIFIER_STACKABLE 00001 1 The effect is stackable
EFFECT_MODIFIER_MULTIPLIED_BY_TARGETS 00010 2 The effect is multiplied by the number of targets hit in the area
EFFECT_MODIFIER_ON_CASTER 00100 4 Always affects the caster.
EFFECT_MODIFIER_NOT_REPLACEABLE 01000 8 Not replaceable.
EFFECT_MODIFIER_IRREDUCTIBLE 10000 16 Irreducible.
The EFFECT_MODIFIER_STACKABLE modifier indicates that the effect is stackable, meaning that an entity can have several effects of this type applied by the same weapon or chip. For example, an entity can have several poison effects cast by the same chip, but can't have two absolute shield effects from the Helmet chip. If you try to cast Helmet again on a leek that already has the Helmet effect, the original effect will be replaced by the new one. Be careful not to lose protection by using Helmet with your Puny Bulb on a leek that already has a better Helmet!
The EFFECT_MODIFIER_MULTIPLIED_BY_TARGETS modifier multiplies the base value of the effect by the number of entities in the item's AoE.
The EFFECT_MODIFIER_ON_CASTER modifier indicates that this effect always applies to the caster. For example, it is on the strength boost effect of the Broadsword, which lets you strike thin air to gain strength.
The EFFECT_MODIFIER_NOT_REPLACEABLE modifier indicates that this effect won't be replaced if the target already has it (e.g., casting The Covid-19 on a leek that is already infected won't change the value of the poison it suffers from the Covid).
The EFFECT_MODIFIER_IRREDUCTIBLE modifier indicates that the value of this effect can't be reduced (for example with Liberation).
They describe the detailed state of an entity. You can get them with getEffects. The result is a list of effects, in the form of an array of arrays. You can also get the list of effects applied by an entity with getLaunchedEffects: for example, this can help you decide to take it out if it is a key figure on the opposing side. Each effect is made up of the following information:
Unlike the effects you get from getWeaponEffects or getChipEffects, this is an effect that has already been cast and whose value is known: no estimate needed this time.
Note: an entity can't stack the same effect from the same weapon or chip several times, unless it is explicitly stackable. For example, say you have cast Armor on yourself: if your Metallic Bulb casts the same Armor chip on you, they won't add up. However, the duration counter will be reset.
At the start of each entity's turn, in order:
1. The poisons, aftereffects and heals over time it suffers (EFFECT_POISON, EFFECT_AFTEREFFECT, EFFECT_HEAL) take effect, in the order received, and each loses 1 turn. If it drops to 0 life points, it dies. 2. The other effects it has cast lose 1 turn. 3. Its AI runs.
An effect that reaches 0 turns disappears, along with its bonuses and penalties. So a poison, aftereffect or heal over time of N turns takes effect exactly N times, while a boost of N turns disappears at the start of its caster's N-th next turn.
