What are Madness Debuffs?

In each zone of Horrific Visions, players will have a debuff applied to them while in that zone. These debuffs vary in power and difficulty depending on the difficulty of the zone they are in.

2.

When do Madness Debuffs change?

Each week, a new "rotation" of debuffs is introduced, similarly to how M+ affixes are decided.

The debuffs cycle through a group of debuffs, with each group being assigned to a certain "tier" of difficulty in the zones.
