Bind (XC1) (debuff)

Bind is a debuff in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It locks the victim in place, preventing them from moving. They remain able to rotate, and it does not protect them from.

Bind is one of the more troublesome debuffs to inflict on the party, as it cannot be ended early via help, and it prevents the affected character from offering help, offering encouragement, and reviving others.

gems can inflict this debuff when equipped, while Bind Resist gems can prevent it.
