== Description ==

[[Image:Slow_29.webp]] '''Slow''' is a harmful [[:category:Status Effects|status effect]] that decreases the target's speed until it wears off or is removed. Afflicted characters experience increased [[Delay|weapon delay]] and [[Recast Time|magic recast timers]].<br>
Slow is the direct counterpart to [[Haste (Status Effect)|Haste]].<br>
[[Elegy]] is a similar [[Song]] effect inflicted by [[Bard]]s. It has all the same detrimental effects as Slow and can be combined with Slow.

== Notes ==

*Slow is calculated as a percentage increase in [[Delay|weapon delay]] and [[Recast Time|magic recast time]]. For example, 50% Slow equates to a 1.5x increase in these delays, meaning a weapon will be able to swing 2 times in the same amount of time it normally would have swung 3 times, and a spell like [[Raise]] will take 90 seconds to recast instead of the usual 60.
*Slow does not impede [[Cast Time|magic cast time]], nor does it affect the cooldown time of [[:Category:Job Abilities|Job Abilities]].
*Despite increasing weapon delay, Slow effects do not increase [[Tactical Points|TP]] gained per hit. As a result, Slow decelerates TP gain over time by making hits less frequent but keeping TP/hit the same.
*Slow is one of the innate effects caused by [[Weakness]] status. Being weakened automatically inflicts the character with a 100% Slow effect, doubling effective weapon delay and recast timers.

== How to remove the effect ==

The only certain ways to remove Slow status are with the [[White Magic]] spell [[Erase]], the [[Dancer]] ability [[Healing Waltz]] (upcoming), or the [[automaton]] attachment [[Eraser]] (upcoming):
:[[Erase]] can remove [[Elegy]]. Note: Healing Waltz cannot remove bard enfeebling songs.
:[[Elegy]] cannot be overwritten or blocked by [[Haste (Status Effect)|Haste]] or [[March]] effects, but it is possible for Elegy and March to exist simultaneously on a target, unlike Haste and Slow status.
:[[Esuna]] can be used to remove Slow effects other than [[Elegy]] if the casting [[White Mage]] has [[Afflatus Misery]] activated and is currently afflicted with some form of Slow.
*The spell [[Haste]] will replace and block certain versions of Slow with [[Haste (Status Effect)|Haste]]:
:*The spell Haste is in opposition to the spell Slow, similar to Bio and Dia. Haste, being the higher-level learned spell for each tier (Haste at WHM40/RDM48 vs. Slow at WHM/RDM13), will overwrite Slow for the equal tier and lower. It will not overwrite or block stronger versions of Slow, such as the [[Red Mage]] spell [[Slow II]], or abilities used by certain enemies such as those from the [[Spider]] or [[:Category:Diremites|Diremite]] families.
The [[Blue Magic]] spell [[Refueling]] (upcoming) will replace the weakest versions of Slow with [[Haste (Status Effect)|Haste]]:
:[[Refueling]] will not overwrite or block stronger versions of Slow, such as the [[White Magic]] spell [[Slow]], as well as any Slow effects Haste is unable to overwrite/block.
