tl;dr: either remove the walkspeed debuffs, or get rid of the slashwave at the end

Epicenter is way too unbalanced, even though it is easily avoidable, and that's cause if you get hit by it you get walkspeed debuffs and you get hit by a giant slashwave, all the while probably about to get rushed by the grand in his sword mode, which in itself does 110-120 damage with no buffs

come on, that's ridiculous

the worst part is, you can be totally dominating a grand and the next moment you go from 1000 hp to 600 or so and there's really nothing you can do to escape it unless you're a class that can debuff walkspeed or use a move to quickly propel yourself in another direction

not to mention that grand also has access to another giant slashwave by holding z, which, after the walkspeed debuffs, is almos guaranteed to hit the target for another 250 damage if you charge it all the way

you might say that "well if you're dominating grand you shouldn't have any problems if you get hit by his epicenter, right?" well, no, you'd be wrong, cause epicenter does more than just turn the tide in the favor of the grand itself

aside from hitting you with his sword, you're not going to be able to run very far, and because of that you're in the perfect spot for the grand to use drop, which instantly stuns if you have more than 50 stun, combined with z (fully charged)

grand could be at 200 hp and you've got 800 or so, and in a moment's notice, your advantage suddenly turns into a disadvantage, and there's really nothing you can do except either finish off the grand and hope you don't get vultured or attempt to run and get chased anyway

so yeah, please do something about this because it's annoying as hell to be winning a 1v1 and the grand uses epicenter and you're suddenly dead
