All Buffs and Debuffs apply through different circumstances on Henry. As each Buff or Debuff gets active, they appear on the bottom of the screen beside the Health and Stamina bars. The Buffs are the positive effect that players get by using certain potions or on the activation of certain perks. If you want to enhance your Stamina, you can use the Buck’s Blood potion. It greatly increases the Stamina, allowing you to have an advantage during combat.
The Debuffs are applied by different circumstances, like taking a lot of hits on a specific body part, or getting a bleeding effect, and more. Moreover, if you do not sleep in time or stay hungry for a while, you will get specific debuffs, which all make Henry slow and weaker. Similar to the Buffs, the Debuffs are also temporary, but some will stay active until you fix them. Each debuff requires a unique solution so it is best to learn about them. Moreover, it is essential for players to see what debuffs they have under the “Buffs” category in the player tab. This category will also show you the active buffs at a time.
