Status Effect delay
Status Effects such as Sleep, Frost, Blind Stun etc.. have slight delays before the status fully take effect.

Playtester, on 09 Dec 2014 - 15:10, said: I don't think this is related to the freeze status effect.
When I tested delays and hitlocks on officials I noticed that when I have low ASPD that my damage is applied very late (long after damage number shows). Consequently status changes also occur at a later time (as they have to be applied AFTER the damage or else the ice would instantly break again).
I think we need to measure the delay between damage applied and status change applied. I might only be 20ms (min timer interval).
But I can say for sure that the delay until a status effect is applied is there, but this is not related to freeze or stormy card. For example when Magnolia uses NPC_STUNATTACK on me I also can walk like 5 cells before I'm stunned. I was always thinking that it's related to the delay between attack and until the damage is applied.
I've taken a look at it now, we apply the status change when the damage is applied. There's nothing that trigger later, so it would require to implement a new kind of timer. Not so easy. /hm
Upon further testing on officials:
- When you do a normal attack, the effect kicks it when your animation ends, for e.g. when you use a Katar it's the time right after your offhand damage appears, so it is influenced by aMotion it seems.
- For Scream / Frost Joke's effect kicks in 3500ms after I pressed the skill key = 3000ms after the skill went off.
- ASPD doesn't seem to influence it, it was 3500ms with 20 ASPD but also with 190 ASPD.
- Bragi also doesn't seem to influence it, still 3500ms.
- For Envenom, the effect seems to always come simultaneous with the damage.
- For Lex Divina, offensive Status Recovery and Hammerfall the delay is 1500ms (=1000ms after skill goes off). If I cast Lex Divina again on the silenced target, the silence effect is removed immediately without delay.
Seems a bit skill specific.
@kyeme After further testing I concluded that this only affects normal attacks and skills that don't deal any damage.
Can you elaborate why this is important to implement? Then I know what to focus on.
@Playtester In Official, you still have a chance to use recovery items such as Mastela Fruit before you got frozen. This is so important when they're using Asura Strike with Stormy Knight Card.
Example: A Champion uses the Frost Lock Method: Palm Push Strike then Asura Strike on the chosen target with a Quad Stormy Knight Card weapon.

Hmm this seems to be a special property of Asura. Usually it seems to only apply for non-damage skills, but I tested it and the delay is there for Asura too. I tried with Sonic Blow which is a similar skill that also takes status effects from the weapon, but there it's at the same time of the damage.
I noticed something new. The delay from the attack to the status change is actually substracted from the status change duration.
e.g. if you stun an enemy but the stun kicks in only 1 second after the hit, then the stun duration is only 4 seconds unreduced rather than 5 seconds
@4144 @Asheraf @dastgirp @MishimaHaruna Something about it? This delay is important as it can prevent player death if it heals in that range.
