Roots is a negative status effect in Remixed Dungeon that immobilizes the affected character and prevents movement.

• Type: Negative Status Effect (Debuff)
• Effect: Prevents movement while active
• Duration: Varies by source
• Source: Primarily from enemy attacks or special abilities

• From certain enemy attacks that apply root effects
• From environmental effects in specific dungeon areas
• From some enemy abilities that restrict movement

• Prevents all movement while the effect is active
• Character can still perform other actions (attacking, using items, etc.)
• Can be detached by the Levitation status effect (which is why Levitation mentions it)
• Does not prevent other actions beyond movement
• Duration typically decreases with higher Magic Defense

• Be cautious when entering areas with plant-based enemies that may apply roots
• If you're about to be rooted, try to position yourself advantageously before the effect ends
• Carry Levitation potions if regularly encountering enemies that use roots
• Can be dangerous if applied near other enemies or hazards
• Useful in limited situations where you want to stay in place for ranged attacks

• Levitation - Completely removes roots when applied
• High-level armor with good magic defense may resist the effect
• Some equipment or class abilities may reduce duration
