Bugs is friend

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling does an excellent job at capturing the Paper Mario likeness and improving on the formula in many regards. Like most games in the genre, the world, mechanics, and choices rapidly open up to the player after the first chapter. The standout character writing, expansive side content, additional dialogue, level of interconnectivity, and many details bring the land of Bugaria to life. Moreover, no content is missable. While there is a lack of polish in the presentation and frustration with field abilities and minigames, the overall quality is very high. Those looking for that familiar nostalgic feeling will not be disappointed!

It makes a ton of sense to have a debuff like frozen on an enemy for 2 turns and then the enemy break out and kill you the very next turn.
