  •  Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
  • The  Bonus neutralizing effect will be negated if the affected unit has  Panic (and doesn't have  Null Panic), or has their  Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
• The temporary buffs and bonus neutralization of Observant Staff+ will only activate if the unit is deployed with 2 other allies in an Ally Support pair.
