Have you accidentally been hit with a damaging Ailment, or have you buffed yourself but you don’t know how it worked? We’ll explain all positive and negative Ailments in Last Epoch and what they do.

Negative Ailments will either weaken or damage the target, but positive Ailments will buff the target. Because there is such a variety of Ailments in this game, it’s hard to narrow them all down.
