Well in certain situations it turns very "overpowered" ships to be totaly hopless. For example Kusari dessie, which , if not allowed to turn on you, all can do is die. Even to werewolf.
Also cd is good as defensive weapon, and detonates mine traps you laid. (Mine trap =/= mine lottery)
Being more universal this thing is better for chracters which are more likely fight 1 on 1 than in group fights. For example mercinaries. Also prevents targets from running away and helps to kill them, and later get "Q_Q" messeges from the target in "//".
