Stop an enemy from being stunned forever by a fast combo

A strong player chains light attacks and the enemy never gets to act for ten seconds, which feels awful on the receiving side, especially against a boss. This entry shows how each hit can stun a little less and when the enemy gets control back.

Why this works

Stunning is meant to reward a skilled attacker, not to take the game away from the other side. If each hit in a string freezes the target for less time and the string ends in a guaranteed break, the player stays involved to the end.

When not to use it

Do not shorten the stun in games where long combos are the whole point, such as fighting games with trained players. There the long string is the skill on show. Limit it with damage scaling or a cost instead.
