Status Effects for Monster Hunter Rise (MHR or MHRise) are various buffs, effects, and ailments that can be afflicted on both hunters and monsters. Both Hunters and Monsters can receive Effects from Skills, the environment, and attacks. This page covers information regarding the various status effects in Monster Hunter Rise.
Status Effects are categorized into three groups such as Status Effects where players and allies are granted buffs from consuming items, weapon effects, or by consuming food from the Tea Shop. Elemental Blights are negative effects that can be inflicted by monsters on a hunter and these can be countered by performing certain actions or consuming specific items, and Abnormal Status Ailments are also negative status effects that can be applied to both a hunter and a monster, these are triggered with the use of Weapons, Environmental Hazards, and some Items.
Monster Hunter Rise Status Effects
Character Stat Boosts
This category of status effects benefits the hunter. These are applied to a Player or Allies through the use of Items, Endemic Life, consuming food from the Tea Shop, effects that come from using the Hunting Horn weapon, and even tactical support provided by your Buddies.
Stat Boosts can vary in strength depending on where the hunter gets them (For example, both Mega Demondrug and Demondrug give the hunter the Attack Up status effect, but Mega Demondrug gives the hunter a stronger Attack Up effect than Demondrug). Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell how strong the Stat Boost you receive is unless you are familiar with the source of the Stat Boost beforehand. Not only that, but some Stat Boosts stack with one another, even if they are the same type of Stat Boost (For example, Armorskin and Adamant Seed both give the hunter the Defense Up status effect, but if the hunter uses an Armorskin to get the Defense Up status effect, then uses an Adamant Seed, the Defense Up status effect from the Adamant Seed will be added to the Defense Up status effect created by the Armorskin and vice versa).
It is important to note that Stat Boosts are completely different from Armor Skills, even though many of them share the same effects. The majority of Stat Boosts can be acquired permanently through certain Armor Skills that have the same effects. The key difference between Stat Boosts and Armor Skills is that Stat Boosts are temporary buffs that are acquired through items, allies, endemic life, etc., hence the reason why they are considered Status Effects. Armor Skills on the other hand are permanent perks granted to the hunter by their equipment that will remain active as long as the hunter has the correct equipment equipped. A Hunter can tell when one of these Status Effects has been triggered by the icons that appear on the HUD.

Iceblight

Maybe you all can help. What does the pink wyvern footprint under a monster's icon in a hunt stand for?
It seems to happen at random, and I don't believe it to be my causing exhaustion via SwAx.
