Petrify

It's a rock for {stacks} turns.

Petrify is a control debuff that turns the afflicted unit to stone, preventing all actions and movement for its duration. Unlike Stun, which lasts a single turn, Petrify can persist for multiple turns, making it one of the longest hard disables in the game. A petrified unit cannot act, move, or respond to attacks in any way.

Petrify is relatively rare compared to Stun or Sleep but is far more punishing when it lands. It appears primarily from earth-element enemies and certain boss mechanics. Because petrified units cannot dodge or defend, they are also vulnerable to focused fire from other enemies. Breaking a cat out of Petrify typically requires a specific cleanse effect, as damage alone does not remove it the way it does Sleep.
