Slow (Final Fantasy XII status)

Slow is a status in Final Fantasy XII. Slow status halves a unit's ATB gauge speed, forcing them to take action less frequently. It has no effect on animation speed, however. Unlike in some other games in the series, Slow status in Final Fantasy XII does not affect other status effects' durations. Slow and Haste do not usually co-exist on the same target, one overriding the other.
The formula for the duration is:
:Duration = 120 - (Vitality \times 0.6) s
Slow forces the afflicted to act less often, making it generally useful and it is the only ailment that commonly applies to bosses. Since Slow only affects the ATB gauge speed and not animation speed, combos, or the "cooldown time" after using an ability, it mainly makes a difference for physical attackers. As compensation, many physical enemies gain the Attack CT0 augment, which makes them act without Charge Time, effectively making Slow pointless.
==Abilities==
Spell 	Slow & Slowga (Time Magicks)
Weapon	Heavy Lance 10%, Iron Pole 10%, Kagenui 10%, Long Bolts 25%, Orichalcum Dirk 10%, Sakura-saezuri 8% (Zodiac)
Slow and Slowga have variable effectiveness due to stats and other statuses like Faith on caster and Shell on enemy, but they can be made to always inflict Slow on susceptible targets when the caster equips the Indigo Pendant.
With Nihopalaoa, the player can also inflict Slow to targets with items designed to heal it. With Stamp, one with Slow status can give it to others.
In addition, the Ensanguined Shield puts the wearer under constant Slow.
