Paralysis

Paralysis is a status effect in PSO. Paralysis can be applied with a special attack from an Arrest-series weapon, an attack from a Gulgus-gue, an Ul Ray, a Poison, Nar, Ob, or Mil Lily, or the insects from a hive in Subterranean Desert. Some quests that have Status Traps set to Paralysis can also inflict this status on the player.

Mechanics

Players

Paralysis lasts until dispelled by Antiparalysis, Sol Atomizer, Anti level 3 or above, a healing ring, or the nurse at the Medical Center. Paralysis prevents players from attacking or casting techniques, but not moving or using items. Android players are immune to paralysis, as are players with a Sacred Cloth or Cure/Paralysis equipped.

Enemies

Paralysis lasts for 7 seconds. If paralysis is inflicted on an enemy that is already paralyzed, its paralysis duration will be reset for the player who re-inflicted it, but not the other players. Paralysis prevents enemies from moving or attacking, and will lower the enemy's EVP by 15%. Bosses and Machine-type enemies are immune to paralysis.

Special attacks

Paralysis can be applied using the special attack from an Arrest-series weapon. Provided the attack connects, each special has a different chance of success:

Rarity	Special name	Activation rate
1★	Bind	32%
2★	Hold	48%
3★	Seize	64%
4★	Arrest	80%
