Digital Devil Saga series
Fear is an ailment that may be randomly inflicted upon an enemy if their weakness is exploited or upon any enemy if their turn ends by nullifying an attack, unless they are already afflicted with another ailment. Enemies that are afraid take additional damage from Hunt skills and Fatal Hunt skills are more likely to succeed against them. If all enemies are afraid, the party is guaranteed to be able to escape the battle. Once the party's turn ends, any enemies that were afraid lose Fear. Enemies that cannot be Hunted are immune to Fear.
