Hey Sins, let's take a trip down the rabbit hole. First, there is a difference between Slow the status effect ('Slow (Unit Abilities)' in the IA) and 'Movement: Slow'. So 'Movement: Slow' is what Tier 3/4 units used to have, this is no longer the case as we introduced 'Cumbersome.' The status effect slow has always applied 'Movement: Slowest' as it would not effect 'Slow'/'Cumbersome' Units. The description of this status effect is unclear as it only mentions that the units max movement is reduced and isn't helped by the fact that we have two different kinds of slow.
Are you still with me?
Every Mod/Operation that applies the Slow status effect reduces the maximum movement points to 16, otherwise it would not have affected Units with 'Movement: Slow' and 'Cumbersome.' To make this clearer we will be updating the 'Slow (Unit Abilities)' description to properly reflect this, additionally we will look into whether we can remove the 'Movement: Slow' entry entirely without messing up something else.

Yea Void Barriers mention 'Slow Movement when fighting in this domain' that should just be slow. We're removing the movement there.
