Buff Monitor
monitors the Buffs on yourself: duration and stacks, alerts when they are about to end, and voice reminders when they are gained or lost.
Adding Buffs
Type a name or ID in the search box and click a result to add it to Selected Buffs. Results are paginated when there are many; even if an ID is not in the built-in table, you can still add it directly by ID.
Not sure what a Buff is called? Turn on Monitor All Buffs first, and the overlay will show every Buff you currently have. Once you find the one you want, add it precisely, then turn "Monitor All" off.
Category quick watch
Category Quick Monitor lets you watch all Food or Alchemy Buffs at once, which is handy for checking whether you have eaten and taken potions before entering a dungeon.
Display modes
Choose one of the two in Buff Display Mode:
| Mode | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Individual Mode | Each Buff gets its own icon that can be moved and resized separately |
| Grouped Mode | Several Buffs go into one group and are laid out together in rows and columns |
Grouped mode
In Buff Group Management:
- New Group / Delete Group; pick Buffs for each group separately, or set it to Monitor All Buffs;
- Add or remove the Food and Alchemy categories for a group in one click;
- Each group can set icon size, rows and columns, spacing, and whether to show the name, remaining time and stacks;
- Group Layout Preview lets you check the result first.
Buffs without icons
Buffs without an icon are shown as a line of text plus a progress bar. You can choose Text Buff Modern Style or Text Buff Classic Style, and limit how many are shown at most.
Buffs that change with stacks
Some Buffs change their icon automatically with the stack count. For example, Wind Knight's "Chasing Step" shows a single icon at 1 stack and a double icon at 2 stacks, with no extra setup needed.
Names and icons
| Setting | What it does | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Buff Alias Settings | Gives an alias to a Buff with an unclear name, for example showing "[热枕]" as "Life Fluctuation" | Global, does not change with profiles |
| Buff Icon Settings | Picks a custom image as the Buff's icon | Global |
Buff aliases are also used as the display names of Buff effects in the factor zone.
Buffs that come from a Fantasy are shown as "Name | Tier n" when the Fantasy's tier can be detected.
Composite buffs
Some effects only count when several Buffs are active at once. Create a composite in Composite Buffs: enter a name, search for and add 2–8 member Buffs, set Active when, and optionally pick one member's icon (without one, it shows as text).
- Active when requires every member by default; you can lower it to at least k members at once (k can be 1, meaning any one of them);
- A composite lasts until fewer members than required remain. With every member required, the remaining time is that of the member ending first; for example, with at least 3 of 5 and four members left at 10, 8, 6 and 4 seconds, the composite has 6 seconds left;
- Stacks: with every member required, the lowest member stack count; with at least k, the number of members currently active;
- Once saved, a composite can be searched and added like any Buff on this page, in Custom Monitor, Buff Coverage, countdown alerts and voice announcements; search results mark it as "Composite buff";
- Watching a composite does not change how its member Buffs display;
- Like aliases, composites are a global setting and are not exported with profiles. When an imported profile refers to a composite this install does not have, those references are removed automatically; deleting a composite also removes its references from every profile.
Priority
- Global Buff Priority: display order in individual mode;
- Group Priority: order within each group in grouped mode.
Countdown alerts
Buff Countdown Alerts sets a threshold for a Buff: when the remaining time is ≤ the set number of seconds, it is highlighted in the chosen color, optionally flashing. Good for watching boosts that are about to drop.
Voice announcements
In the Voice Broadcast section, search for a monitored Buff and add a rule. You can choose three events, on gain / x seconds left / on expiry, and the text can be generated automatically, written yourself, or taken from the phrase library. See Voice for details.
Common Buff reference

| Type | Fantasy | Search name | Buff ID |

Examples
Example Voice reminder when Tina's CD is readyScenario: You are the one who uses Tina for the party. You want the overlay to show Tina's cooldown and to hear "Tina CD is ready" when the CD ends, so you do not have to keep watching it.
Step 1: Monitor the Tina CD Buff
After you use Tina, a Buff representing the cooldown stays on you.
- Open .
- Search for Time Stasis (Tina CD) (ID 2110056) and add it to the selected Buffs.
- You can also add Lower CD (ID 2110034) to see whether the boost from Tina is still active.
Step 2: Give it a recognizable name (optional)
In Buff Alias Settings, search for "Time Stasis (Tina CD)" and set its alias to "Tina".
Step 3: Highlight it when it is about to end
In Buff Countdown Alerts, add an alert for it: highlight in green and flash when ≤ 5 seconds remain, reminding you to get ready to use it.
Step 4: Voice reminder on expiry
- First make sure a model is installed in Voice and Enable voice broadcasting is on.
- Go back to Buff Monitor, expand Voice Broadcast, then search for and add "Time Stasis (Tina CD)".
- Check Broadcast on expiry, choose Custom text for the text, and enter "Tina CD is ready".
- Click Preview; if it says the audio is waiting to be generated, go to and click Generate missing voices.
