Please join my thread to document _how_ status effects are supposed to interact:

> The Plaguelord weapon “applies all status effects”, but this raises some interesting questions that have never been answered by the devs. This interaction is interesting because some effects, like Stun, affect traits. And, historically, if many effects are being applied at once and Stun comes before another effect, the game behaves as if Stun nullifies any immunity traits. This is important for trying to hit troops with Impervious and other immunity traits. But normally, we’re only applying on…

Right now it’s not documented. So nobody can tell you if this is a bug or it isn’t except the devs. And since we don’t have proof there’s even “an intended order”, we can’t be sure their answer yesterday and their answer today will be the same.

Basically: instead of “all status effects applied at once”, the status effects are applied one by one in an undocumented order. So everything after Curse might apply, or if Curse then Stun is applied more things are applied.

But since it’s not documented, any patch could change the order without making it a bug.
