**Platform, device version and operating system:** PC, Steam, Windows 7 **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** I was expecting the negative effect to handled seperately. Instead, when the clear chance is activated, all of the effects are cleared (except poison, which has no % to clear itself). **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Twice in as many battles, all effects were gone, except poison, in one turn. While hitting the 10% chance on the first turn is certainly possible for one effect, I find it hard to believe that ALL of the effects hit that 10% singly. It is even harder to believe it happened twice in consecutive matches. **Steps to make it happen again** Use the weapon, and just cycle through turns until the enemy troop clears itself of all effects, except poison. ---

That’s how it works. There are no separate cleanse-chance counters for separate effects - if self-cleanse happens it ends them all; any additional effect added resets the counter regardless of how many turns previously placed effects had been active. ---

Yeah there was a thread about this recently, or maybe a discussion in the event’s topic. I think a lot of people _want_ separate counters but it’s a double-edged sword. ---

Right now it isn’t a double-edged sword, because _any_ new status effect resets the counter for _all_ existing status effects. ---

Aforementioned thread: > [@(Not a bug) Cumulative chance?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/not-a-bug-cumulative-chance/53153/7): > > Hey, this is working as intended. Each time you gain a new negative status effect it resets the 10% cumulative chance of the troop being cleansed. When a status effect is cleansed, they are all cleansed at the same time.
