Sloth Description

Movement and attack speed decreased.

Sloth Effect

• Significantly reduces the attack and movement speed of the target.
• This is similar to the Electrified effect, except stronger. They both combine to reduce movement speed if stacked on one target..

Ways to apply Sloth:

• Sloth Talisman
• Sloth (Onmyo Magic Hit)
• Sloth (Ninjutsu Hit)

Sloth Notes

• This significantly reduces the targets ability to attack or dodge, allowing you to do offense basically unopposed.
• One minor disadvantage this poses however is that Burst Counters become more difficult to time; unless using a Brute Burst Counter (as that is an attack animation as opposed to a reaction-based counter like Feral or Phantom). Some i-frames from dodging also get lengthened; needing some minor adjustments in timing offensive attacks. These adjustments however are easily offset by the major advantages offered.
