===Target Buff===

The -80% Speed modifier is continuous while the buff is active. When the target of this buff is attacked, a charge is consumed. When the target ends their turn, the duration ticks down. This buff starts with 1 charge and a duration of 2 turns. It's also considered to be a negative buff.
This buff also applies a -500% negative AI Target factor on the target, which causes the ally AI to target them much less frequently. The target can still be hit by attacks that target their entire team, if there's another valid target for the attack.
