Paralysis (gem)

Paralysis is a gem effect in Xenoblade Chronicles. It grants a percentage chance that the user's auto-attack will inflict Paralysis for 10 seconds. The strength of the effect will be 0%, so while it will still disable the target's double attacks and counter-attacks, it will not affect their auto-attack rate.

Overview
Against enemies with good double attack and counter-attack rates, this gem has some use to reduce their effective auto-attack rate. But if the enemy has a 0% for both of these, or the user doesn't use auto-attacks, the gem does nothing. It is therefore somewhat situational.
