Counters

• Emergency Aid Buildings gradually removes Nervous Impairment on friendly units when they are activated at a rate of -25 per second, which is tripled if one is activated by an Automatic Maintenance Drone.

Trivia

• Nervous Impairment is the only Elemental Damage that is given the suffix "Impairment" instead of "Damage" in the official English localization.
