Summary[]
Statistics Reduction is the ability the reduce the parameters and statistics of the opponent, which can be represented as any ability that reduces one's attack potency, speed, defense or anything hinders the fighting capabilities of opponents through weakening them below their normal level
This power can be a temporary and reapplied or sometimes it can even be stacked to prolong the effects of the depowering. This ability is typically present in video games, especially RPGs, where stats play a major role in how the game functions
Keep in mind that Statistics Reduction merely reduces the statistics of an opponent but doesn't entirely remove their abilities. This would be Power Nullification as opposed to Statistics Reduction
Limitations[]
- The effects of Statistics Reduction may be temporary, meaning the opponent has to stack them or consistently use the ability to maintain it
