With that shout of the red-skinned Rank 3 Transcendent, the over 50 Rank 2 Transcendent that was trying their hardest to stand up from the side effects of Ailment Fog all flew out of their safe zone, despite being filled with reluctance.
Upon seeing that, I alternately looked down to the Rank 3 Transcendent and towards those Rank 2 Transcendents' direction to gauge my next move.
The effect of the Ailment Fog still lingered in all of them and due to that, their stats were still lowered.
It's the effect of Stat Debuff that came along with the side effect they were feeling that always depended on how strong the enemy was.
When it was still an Orb that's its main effect. However, now that its true nature as a repressed Skill was revealed, that stat debuff was just the side effect. That's why even the Rank 3 Transcendent was affected. The Ailment it was causing to those caught by it was the main effect.
