What are status ailments?

• When a certain amount of damage is dealt with a weapon that can inflict status ailment, the monster will become affected.
• While the Fire/Water/Thunder/Ice/Dragon Attack skills increase damage, the ailment-inflicting Poison/Paralysis/Sleep/Blast Attack skills do not affect damage but instead increase the buildup of the status ailment.

See here for more information about status ailments.
