For those who were wondering about the Null descriptor in regards to barrier status effects. The use of Null in a character ability denotes a nullification of the negative status effects of the corresponding barrier status. However it does not render the character immune for the barrier status itself. The barrier status will remain unless the barrier is expended, the status is expired, or the barrier is healed thus making it possible for the enemy to break the barrier status with the corresponding barrier status break ability.
The only two characters in Global with the Null descriptor are Lily for freeze and Sakuya for paralyze.

For those curious about the status effects associated with each barrier status
Burn: Yin Atk/Def is debuffed 12.5% multiplicatively with each layer. Damage is proced at the end of every turn. Damage can not take a friend below 1 hp.

Freeze: Agi is debuffed.

Paralyze: Eva is debuffed 25% multiplicatively with each layer. There is a chance the friend will be stunned at the beginning of the turn.

Poison: Yang At/Def is debuffed 12.5% multiplicatively with each layer. Damage is proced at the end of every turn. Damage can not take a friend below 1 hp.

Blind: Acc is debuffed

I am working on a more detailed explanation of damage adjustment that will be posted on the mechanics section of the wiki later. It tentatively appears that it is possible to surpass the +300% adjusted damage softcap imposed by the +10 limit on Yin/Yang At/Def UP/DOWN ranks through the use of barrier status Burn and Poison. As each successive layer of buff/debuff is additive, the status debuffs are multiplicative, and the two types are treated as seperate elements in the damage adjustment calculation it would appear that it is possible to exploit this to exceed the x4.0 final damage adjustment limitation.

But first I want to take a shower, play with my kitten, and then go shoot some hoops.
