I've come across conflicting descriptions of how the Archbishop skill Clearance works, so I figured I'd ask about the exact function of it here.

 

The Skill Simulator describes it so:

Note:

• Affects all party members and enemies on screen
• removes buffs

iROWiki describes it as follows:

"Clears many buffs and effects from a single target by chance. Effects removed: Blind, Frozen, Stone, Bleeding, Stun, Chaos, Poison, Curse, Sleep, Silence, Hallucination, Guillotine Cross' Poisons, Venom, Impression, Fear, Rune buffs, Burning, Freezing, Crystallization, White Imprison, Vanguard Force, Blood Sucker, Howling, Shadow Formation, Body Painting, Deep Sleep, Harmonize, Despair Song, Siren's Voice, Gloomy Shyness, Saturday Night Fever, Critical Wounds. Anything that's not mentioned is not removed by this skill."

Note:

• Single target
• Does not remove such buffs as Blessing or Increase AGI

My main questions now are:

• Who, and how many, are targeted when you cast this skill?
• Are the buffs that the Archbishop him/herself cast, such as Cantocandidus or Clementia removed?

1) One target
2) Yes

In other words, both websites are hopelessly wrong on this skill.

 

Thank you very much!

I just went over irowiki and did some actual tests in game. I now notice that irowiki mentions that it clears many buffs AND effects by chance. And the list just has effects, and not the buffs. Canto/Clemen are BUFFS and not effects so technically the wiki is still right. It just might be slightly misleading, I'll agree with that.

 

Anyway it is a wiki so feel free to edit it if you want to. It really is all maintained by regular players like you and me. If you want to make a change but are not sure on its accuracy, you can post what you changed or are about to change here and people can offer their input.

In a very broad interpretation, iROWiki is indeed correct. I'll consider signing up for the wiki. Thanks again. C:

Whoever the hell told you it doesnt remove Clementia, Cantocandidus, or any other kind of buff from the acolyte line is a total bloody liar.

Also can someone go change the def and mdef penalty of Odin power lvl2? I have been going off about how the skill gives -40 but people keep insisting its only -20, and I using this skill on my AB right now and what do I see? -40!

 

My rant for the day.

It's pretty much dispell for AB's, it removes everything, including buffs.
