Smite shield

The description says "Any enemies struck will temporarily lose all buffs and buff effects." Now, things like super def or damage reflect qualify as buffs?

Before unleashed it would be able to take out Von Leon's DR, but after that patch it didn't

I'm not sure about other bosses though, I use it more as a preventative measure than a cure when it comes to "buffs" anyway.

If it works the same way as Xenon's bind, it'll cancel super DEF up but not damage reflect.

Got to 170 and tried it a bit, seems it doesn't work on Hilla's DR nor on Krexel def up

Funny, I never noticed Xenon's bind canceling anything, but it's probably because I only use it on bosses like the post above me said.

It took me quite a long time to figure out it actually cancelled buffs xD I had been using it the same way as all the other bind skills, cast it before a boss does anything in order to prevent it from happening, but (aside from damage reflect) it is way more useful as a method of removing buffs.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I did it too. I never even saw it working on CHT, so I gave up on it anyways. I should probably just ask which bosses does it even work on at all? (the removal of buffs).

edit: Well I suppose I don't doubt the removal of regular buffs but the super def up part looks really iffy, probably only works on a rare number of bosses.
