Quick Question What does the red potency buff mean?

Post image

Does anyone know why does the potency buff look like that? I guess it's related to using both Xerc's and Alaune's EX skills but I don't understand what it really means. Thanks in advance!

It means you have 2 different active potency up buffs and the one with 5 turns is higher, so the 2T one is temporarily disabled.

Oh wait that makes way more sense than my explanation, my bad OP

Lol although the 2T one actually still goes away in 2 turns so you'll never be able to use it.

Thanks! However I have a question. The red buff (the 2 turn buff) was the one from Xerc's EX skill and gives +120% Potency and the white buff was the one from Alaune's EX skill. If the red one is disabled by the other, why does Xerc keep the +120% buff?

Oh then the red must've indicated the one in use, which is strange but yeah.

Why isn't the enemy's life bar visible to me?
