List of Abilities That Do Not Work in Frontlines and 30/40/i80Sync Arenas

So far the following abilities that have been confirmed disabled for Frontlines and 30,40s,i80 Wolves Den due to no morale are Foresight and Protect. Other spells are the following per class. I am only putting the one for SCHs and ya'll can put the other classes if you play them.

SCH
Protect
Fey Covenant (Eos)

p.s. ... yea ... i said "ya'll"

Fey Covenant doesn't work? Is that replaced by focalization or something? Is this tested?

I doubt Foresight works as well.

For both Frontline and the Wolves’ Den, physical defense and magical defense are nullified, and battle balance was adjusted based on this. Due to this, Foresight, Protect, and other actions that boost your defense will not have an effect during battle.

Translation: "Good evening. On the front line, physical defense / magic defense has been disabled Wolf Jail Similarly, I have also adjust the balance of the battle in that premise. There is no effect actions that extend the physical defenses, such as the Protestant and Foresight for that. " (I apologize if I butchered the Japanese language but I used Google translate)


Foresight increases defense by 20%.
Protect increases the physical and magic defense of all party members within range of target.
Fey Covenant increases magic defense of self and nearby party members by 20%.

So going by what the Mod said above that magic and physical defense are nullified in 30s, 40s, i80 Sync Wolves Den and Frontlines (because they don't recognize morale), Fey Covenant also would not work because it increases magic defense.

Focalization increases nearby party members' magic resistances by 15% (25% if Enhanced III)

I do not know if Fey Covenant was "replaced" by Focalization. That would depend on how magic defense scales to magic damage taken as oppose to magic resistance. and even then I remember reading a post earlier on these forums that Focalization doesn't even work on SMN/SCH dots and many other things.

Garuda -Egi's attacks/Enkindle
Ifrit -Egi's Enkindle

Unaffected are:
Windbite
Scathe
Holy
Ruin 1-2
Miasma 1-2
Bio 1-2
Energy Drain
Fester

"Magic Resistance" is the same wording used by Foe Requiem, which does boost the non-elemental spells like Ruin, Bio, Miasma, etc. Windbite is not magic.
