Agony - What does it even do?

[Larson]

I see that a purple effect is over enemies heads and I've figured out that it's agony, but I have no idea what it actually does.

I'm not completely sure, but I think when an enemy is in "agony" they tend to block less and evade less. You can also use special EX actions against them.

From my observations it limits their defense options. I think it stops them from dodging. I don't know anything else about it beyond that.

The purple effect is not the one that allows EX surrender actions with the snake style?

It's weird, there's two different effects which are both purple..

Stun : You can't move baby (Mash x to live)
Bleed : You're cut, you bleed, you lose HP over time. (Use disarm moves before they cut)
Agony : You're hurt, pain prevent you from being able to dodge. (Great combo for max damage opening, Snake 2 square Hold triangle, agony dude, switch to boxer, R2 and EX.)
Fear : You're scared as ♥♥♥♥ bruh, instant surrend on EX action. (Super fun EX actions on snake style)
Blind : You can't see, so no target lock you'll attack blindly. (Press Guard when the lil' punk try to get you with sand)
Burn : Well, you burn, it hurts. (Don't try to hug fire dude, cause he burn you)
