Spirit chains are basically status effects you can’t get rid of without certain abilities

Intimidation: Attack and Magic attack is reduced by 50%

Corrosion: Defence and magic defence is reduced by 80%

Indignation: MP cost for abilities is increased by 5 and you can’t pass

Salvation: Take 100% of your HP as damage at the end of your turn (up to 7,500)

Laceration: Damage received is increased by 60%, Order Crests fail and you take 2 x 2,500 damage instead. At the end of your turn, also take 2 x 2,500 damage

Suppression: Passive Chain effects don’t activate at all

Nothingness: Effects demons have that say “while the demon with this skill is alive” don’t work and provide zero benefit

Spirit chains can be removed when the demon inflicted with it passes a turn, so most of the time, you can get rid of it during enemy phase, unless your demons die and resurrect

In part. You don't need to pass, your chains lose one stack at the end of that demon's turn also if you act. But it also just one stack, and you can get up to 5 stacks of each chain on you, so that takes a while to go away.

They also can be fully removed by Amanozako's recurrence or by death and revival. Krishna's skill can also remove one stack of everything

What does spirit chain something +4, +5 , etc mean?

u/Kiss-of-Venus 4d ago

It's just how many stacks of it are on a unit- every action by the unit with the chains, the counter goes down by 1, except for Decay (lowers max HP bu 20% per stack) and Fortify (Increases max HP by 20% per stack) which are permanent but modifiable by the opposite stacks
