Wet

Wet is a contextual status effect classified as a buff but flagged as a debuff due to its situational dangers. A wet unit is immune to Burn and cannot be set on fire, making Wet a powerful defensive tool in fire-heavy areas. However, Wet also makes the unit vulnerable to electric and ice attacks, which can deal bonus damage or apply enhanced effects to wet targets.

Wet is applied by water-element attacks, Water terrain tiles, and certain weather effects. In fire-themed areas like The Crater and The Core, Wet is purely beneficial, as it neutralizes the most dangerous environmental hazard. In areas with electric enemies like The Future, Wet becomes a liability that amplifies incoming shock damage. Understanding when Wet helps and when it hurts is a key part of elemental matchup awareness in Mewgenics.
