The two count columns are our tally of wiki effect text that mentions the status (Frost and Frozen overlap by design). They show which effects have the deepest Boon support — Frost, Burning and Bleed — which is why day-one builds cluster around them.
Enemy variants by level
Status effects are not only yours. The wiki's Level Unlocks page shows enemy variants switching on as you level: Fire at level 2, Poison at 5, Marking at 7, Bleed at 9 and Ice at 11. Crown of Cinders and Patient Zero exist precisely because those variants start applying Burning and Poison to you.
Status effect questions
What does Rage do in Crimson Moon?
Rage is a stacking buff: the target "gains increased damage amplified by the number of stacks". On you it is a damage boost; Boons hand it out for light-attack hits, sprint attacks, Weapon Art damage, kills and even drinking a flask, and Enduring Rage extends how long it lasts.
What is Sunderance?
Sunderance lowers the target's resistance to every status effect and to damage. It is the setup debuff: Sundering Strikes gives light attacks a 50% chance to apply it and Scourge of the Unfaithful spreads it to everything within 7 metres of a kill.
How do I get rid of Burning?
Dodge roll. The wiki's Burn entry says the effect ticks based on fire stacks and a dodge roll deactivates it. The Crown of Cinders Boon makes you immune to Burning damage entirely.
