Barrier (status effect)

Barrier is a Good Status Effect that prevents the user from receiving ailments for 3 turns.

Mechanics

If a demon is affected by Barrier, then they cannot receive any ailments.

• Note that this only stops further ailments - any ailments already applied before Barrier will stay active, unless cleansed.

Barrier will stay active for a set amount of turns, regardless of how many ailment inflictions are attempted.

Equipping a Ward Brand set makes the demon start battle with a Barrier. This Barrier is active before any Devil Connector skills activate.

Duration Ticks

If your team has Barriers applied to it, the duration for those Barriers will tick down at the start of your turn.

Misc

• Barrier is considered a "Good Status Effect", thus it is susceptible to removal by skills such as Silent Prayer.
