Some characters are able to reduce an enemy's charge diamond while bypassing its immunity to DelayReduce a foe's charge diamonds by 1
. These are marked as Delay (Special)Reduce a foe's charge diamonds by 1
Ignores foe's Delay immunity on the wiki; in-game, their descriptions typically say they "drain," "absorb,", "steal", or "clear" charge diamonds even though the status inflicted is still called "Delayed". In very exceptional cases, some enemies may gain immunity to Special Delay as well.
