@Yu: It might be weak. But it's not weak enough to justify a free benefit to all your attacks: "Vision will slowly become blurry and movements will become more and more sluggish as the fight continues at its peak the target will be unable to block or parry at their normal rate."
As I said, passive moves "aren't a thing", and definitely not in the free benefit to all your other moves sense. You're welcome to upgrade your weapons or attacks to add this effect to them (at the implied cost of them doing slightly reduced damage or something like that). But I can't approve it as it stands. If it was just fluff, then you'd have sent it in as a fodder move and it wouldn't cost OM. You're welcome to nerf it down and make it a fodder move if you want.
Furthermove, normal moves can't have an effect on other moves like you want here. For example, Handsome Jack couldn't get a normal move that gave all his weapons extra damage to shields. Similarly, you can't make a move that increases the damage of all your attacks, you can't make a move that adds a debuff to all your attacks, you can't make a normal move to reduce the charge times or cooldowns of all your other moves (at least for the standard 300 OM cost). That's cheating the system in that you're adding a variable aspect to all your other moves for just 300 OM (instead of 300 OM per move). And, if it's not variable (because it's "always on"), then you should just add that effect to the moves you want to have it. Which would actually save you spending any OM in the first place.
(There's a slight exception for super utilities and adding effects to your moves in some cases - I think.)
I'm not discriminating against you. I'm denying a move in its current state because you are getting something for nothing balance-wise. Even if high DEF characters are basically immune, that says nothing for low DEF ones.
You can still have this effect if you want, but you will need to work it into each of your other moves, or make it a functional move of its own. I understand the former option may sound tedius, but that's how things are.
Or you could have it be something like, "when executing a normal sword swing, Yu can reduce the damage of the attack by a bit to [apply the debuff]".
