Armor Veil

Armor Veil is a buff in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Characters with this buff will not have their decrease until after a fixed amount of  has been taken. It is effectively similar to being healed for the equivalent amount of HP of the Veil, although more useful because it works even when the character in question is at high or max HP.

The base amount of damage that can be absorbed by this buff is 20% of the affected character's maximum HP for playable characters, and 10% for enemies. This can be increased via effects such as Swelling Blessing.

Unlike most buffs, Armor Veil lasts indefinitely (until it is consumed by taking damage). This means it can be repeatedly passed to party members via a character with Resonant Flag after they have been granted Armor Veil only once, although this assumes that the flagger does not get hit. It also consistently lasts for the duration of s, which is not useful defensively but can be used to substantially increase the effect of Shared Blessing.
