KO is a status that can be inflicted in two ways. Some Spells, Abilities, or Monster attacks can inflict KO, and being reduced to 0 HP does the same. There are a number of ways to restore a Character to life, though KO'd Monsters are gone for good. The most obvious way is with the Life Spell or Phoenix Down Item, or a sanctuary in town. You can also restore a KO'd target to life with 1 HP with Esuna 6 outside of combat, or 7 inside of combat. Unfortunately, you can't restore multiple Characters to life during combat, because multi-target Spells do not actually hit KO'd Characters. You'll need to bring them back one at a time. This restriction does not apply outside of combat.

The KO status reduces the target's HP to 0. KO'd Monsters are removed from combat. This effect does not wear off on its own.
