Profile

The Bat ailment transforms the afflicted into a bat. This is typically a vulnerable form which is less effective in combat and may have additional weaknesses to be exploited.

Gameplay

Digital Devil Saga series

The Bat ailment is inflicted exclusively by Zotzilaha Bane. It transforms the afflicted into a Bat with 1 in all stats and replaces their resistances with a 2x Force weakness and are 1.5x more vulnerable to damage, though no other ailments may be inflicted, except Death, which removes Bat. Due to the stat reduction, the afflicted's maximum HP and MP will be reduced, but any HP and MP lost to this effect will not be restored once the ailment is removed. A bat also cannot participate in Combo Skills. The ailment has a chance of being removed once the party's turn ends.
