So sometimes when my support uses healing spell it says my vanguard has reduced healing and get healed like 400 HP instead of 3K and i haven't found a single in-game line of text that justifies or explains this, anyone else have this happen to them?

MisterMusashi

Uhh... have you paid attention to your debuffs directly on your characters in battle or read all of your skills, mate? It says it pretty clearly there.

but i have no idea whats causing the debuff in battle, and in the skills it only says my vanguard can increase its block rate which i assume doesn't affect how much he gets healed.  could it be because this happens to Sado cuz it never happened to my other vanguard?

MisterMusashi

No, mate, your OWN skills. Under the Soul Map. Look around the, whatsit... fourth skill, I believe? Or is it the fifth? I haven't opened my game at home yet to check, but it shouldn't be hard to find. I'm assuming you're getting this problem in PvP, right? I think some few instances of battles in PvE do have the skill, too, but it isn't common. Also, sorry for not giving you a direct answer, but I find it better to help people look in the right place to answer their own questions so they can get a better idea of where to check for problems in the future and teach themselves to, well, teach themselves. Ya dig?

ima keep looking but everything in the soul map only affects the player character not the partners i thought it might have been a skill I'm getting hit with but it doesn't seem to be the case, the debuff happens 2nd round when all the characters start using their skills, my support uses healing spell and heals very little health and then the icon appears on my vanguard saying recovers fewer health for 3 rounds.  This glitch or debuff whatever it is has lost me quite a few fights (slave captures, arena battles, even robbery attempts) so i really want to identify what exactly this even is.  also i can appreciate pointing someone in the direction of the answer instead of giving it to them as I've done that many times with often positive results.

Okay, look, man. I was right the second time, it's your FIFTH SKILL. Read it. Now think, if you were to use this skill, would you be attacking yourself or your own vanguard? Or would you be attacking the enemy vanguard and inflict it with said debuff?
Sorry for being a bit rude about it, but sometimes tough love helps sink it in. Anyways, it appears than the enemy main character is faster than your support. You should work on that with agility hogu, spirit stones, and fortifying/infusing their boots, plus perhaps using a Zanpakuto that compliments your support's speed (and damage; more damage = more healing); additionally, a Zanpakuto with +% to Revival Rate means more healing received, I think. Also, the debuff reduces healing by about 90%, so you're only healing for 1/10th the amount you should be. Just a heads up. Furthermore, try using White/Green enchantment stones on your Ultimate or Spirit forged weapon on your vanguard if you have one for them. The most beneficial ones would be the passive defensive boost one or the healing one, Revive.
