Pushing for adding Fear to the list of banned items for future tournaments.
Fear has single-handedly won the past 2 promoted tournaments. Most of the players that have gotten into at least the semi-finals has used a Fear staff at some point. It has come to my attention that Fear has become over-centralizing and a discussion has to commence about it.
IMO, it's not as deadly as knocking a unit completely out of commission (sleep), crippling them into being a sitting duck (seal), or rendering certain units useless entirely (silence), but a 5-stat drop in every stat is still lethal in every way. This means this unit can be absolutely certain one-rounded in any possible way (which will hit thanks to lowered avoid from said status) as well as further crippling an entire class (flyers) even further as they can be killed in one shot no matter what. Sure, they lose out on S-Rank weaponry, but it's certainly more than worth sacrificing an S-Rank weapon for, especially if said unit is a 52 hp/26 def/26 res tank with nothing to lose, and they're most likely going to use E/D ranks anyway.
