He did say it fails against high defense SCs and to give it to your highest attack thug. Attack boosting items would help too.

Using 2 of these would almost guarantee the target would always be entangled.

You'd have to be immune to any damage shields or other attack items as well.

It's a neat counter to some SCs. Cheap, easy and tailorable to what you see coming at you.
