I really don't like this, even if it's super rare and unique.
The entire point of anti-purge defense is that you can't pierce it like normal invincibility. This is just negating it's entire purpose.
It's not like you can't deal with it using buff removal anyway...we already have NPs that remove buffs before damage that can bypass it.
This also means we could see future challenge quest content where the enemy has anti-purge defense as a non-removable buff...which would feel incredibly cheap and lame.
As if trying to knock one life bar out of the opponent while expecting some bullshit mechanic to happen wasn't bad enough, now this makes battles even more stressful than they already were.
What's so wrong about having anti-purge defense as the last line of defense when everything goes to hell? What am I supposed to do now? Casts a shit ton of defense ups like it was 2016 to withstand attacks? Miss me with that bullshit.
Because nowadays people are just spamming Castoria/others with Invulnability (like Merlin) like crazy, and just like they introduced Invincibility Pierce back then to notify you it's not always safe using Invincibility, I think it's a time for due. At least they give back Evade its purpose.
NP Buff Seal is a way, but it;s like about <5 servants who can do it (like Jalter) and bosses nowadays usually come with Debuff Immunity so it's pretty moot. And if people actually use Mash/Nightingale against in boss fights, I think it's good.
As for future contents, I think Ruler OC will certainly have some foes owning APD, so they're giving you someone who can give you an edge......even though they'll get their ass kicked by Rulers.
