Blighted is a negative status effect in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, that debuffs you and buffs the enemies instead. It can affect both your party members and the Darkspawn. Here is how blighted affects you and Darkspawn enemies:

  • You or your companions: You have reduced resistance and deal lesser damage to enemies.
  • Darkspawn enemies: These have increased resistance and deal more damage to you.

Enemies who are blighted are more difficult to kill. It is best to make sure that the Darkspawn enemies are not blighted to begin with.
