What is Slow?

Slow In-Game Description

Slows are modifiers from Debuffs that cause actions to take longer. Slows can apply to a specific stat (such as attack speed or movement speed) — if a specific type of slow is not specified, it applies to everything the affected entity does. Slows are always multiplicative with each other.

Higher Rarity enemies are less affected by Slows: 15% less Slow effect on Magic monsters 30% less Slow effect on Rare monsters 50% less Slow effect on Unique monsters

Additionally, Slows have 10% less effect on all monsters for each player in the area beyond the first and monsters cannot be slowed below 75% of their base speed.
