Parker and Lyra's Limit Breaks

Lyra and Parker were in need of some new Limit Breaks. Their old ones just weren't useful enough and in one case, kind of buggy!

So here are their new Limit Breaks...

PARKER
Parker no longer has Lady Luck (which increased Evasion and Critical Hit rate for the party). Instead, she now has Beat The Odds, which applies a state on each party member that reduces the damage of the next attack against them by 90%, and reverses any negative status condition to the opposite positive status condition!

- Bleeding, Poison, Seizure and Venom change to Regen.
- Slow changes to Haste.
- Silence changes to Spellspring (0 MP Costs).
- Dizzy changes to Rage (always perform crticial hits).
- Fatigued changes to Bravery.
- Weakness changes to Shell.
- Shellshocked changed to Protect.
- Migraine changes to Faith.
- Ignited changes to NulBlaze.
- Charged changes to NulShock.
- Waterlogged changes to NulTide.
- Frostbite changes to NulFrost.
- Sadness changes to Fury.
- Vertigo changes to Float.
- Venom changes to Refresh.

Status conditions with no opposite are not affected.

LYRA
Lyra's former Limit Break, Quickening, was causing all sorts of bugs and glitches, so it's been removed in favor of a new Limit Break more befitting her personality. Lyra's new Limit Break, Princess Scorned, deals no damage but applies Silence, Migraine, Dizzy, Confuse, and Sadness on all enemies with 100% probability, unless the targets are immune to those status conditions, respectively.

Her second Limit Break, Null All, has been tweaked somewhat. It used to simply act the same as an area-of-effect Dispel, but it will now remove all beneficial status conditions from enemies, and all negative status conditions from the party, as well as apply Null-All on all party members (temporarily nullifies all elemental damage).

EDIT: Edited Beat The Odds' description for clarity.

These limit breaks sound so cool.
I'm already seeing some pathways for some interesting damage buffs here...

Lyra uses Princess Scorned, Ellie uses Hades, Wedge uses Reversal, Vicks casts Haste on Lyra or Slowga on enemies and on Lyra's next turn, she uses Exploit (increases in damage exponentially for each negative status condition) on the enemy with the most negative status conditions for insanely high damage.

Princess Scorned seems so appropriate.

There's been quite a few new utility type limit breaks. Have you given any thought to how you want to balance out the number of dmg dealing vs non dmg dealing limits? While Princess Scorned and Null All sound great, its somewhat of a shame that she doesn't have a limit that does direct damage.

I guess I'm kind of thinking along the lines of FF6's Desperation Attacks.
Lyra has the benefit of being able to deal damage with both physical and magical attacks as a Red Mage, and can debuff the hell out of everything. Her need for a damaging Limit Break is much lower than characters who rely on being damage dealers.

I'm also going to make sure that characters without a starting Limit Break that deals damage are able to obtain their second Limit Breaks earlier than characters who wouldn't need it that much. It'll all flow well, or I'll die trying!
