Avowed has four types of elemental effects: Freeze, Burn, Shock, and Poison. You can utilize this in your own attacks, but enemies will also dish out elemental damage during combat.

The accumulation of elemental effects is shown on the health bar above an enemy and your own health bar in the bottom-left corner. Once an elemental effect has been inflicted upon you, treatment is often required to prevent death.

Treatment comes in various forms, from consuming food and potions to restoring health and eliminating the effect entirely.

BurnFire DamageOnce the Burn debuff is triggered, enemy/player takes Damage Over Time.
ShockElectric DamageOnce afflicted with Shock, player/enemy is stunned and slowed for a short period.
PoisonPoison DamageOnce enemy/player is Poisoned, Critical Damage is dealt.

How to treat elemental effects in Avowed

The best cure for elemental effects in Avowed is Grog, an alcoholic beverage looted from the environment and purchased from Merchants. Consuming Grog will cure Poison, Bleed, and Elemental Accumulations and restore Health based on the amount cured. Grog also provides resistance to the same ailments for 300 seconds.

Springberries, found on flora across the Living Lands in Avowed, are also valuable as they cure Poison and Bleed Accumulation. But the most valuable consumables are food and Health Potions to restore damage—especially when Burned.

Consuming food prior to entering battle is also advisable, as it provides Health and Essence regeneration when required. Before entering a big battle, consume plenty in advance—as any excess Health is stacked for regeneration.
