Debuff Barrier

Debuff Barrier is a in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The next that targets a character with this buff is nullified.

Debuff Barrier does not benefit from effects such as Swelling Blessing (reaching x2 buff power would cause Debuff Barrier to block the next two debuffs, but it is impossible to reach x2 buff power). It lasts for 20 seconds at base, up to 40 seconds with enough buff-duration-increasing effects.

Debuff Barrier is situationally very useful; enemy can be painful, as well as rare debuffs such as Heal Bind and Moebius Shackles. However, Eclipse Soul bypasses Debuff Barrier, and many enemy debuffs tend not to cause major issues to the player. Generally, the usefulness of this buff depends upon the fight.

Note that Debuff Barrier cannot be used to remove an existing debuff; it can only prevent those in future. (However, some situations that grant Debuff Barrier, such as, clear existing debuffs anyway.)
