[BUG][PS4] Gully's 'Barrier Swing' protecting wrong party member

[Gladstan]

First off: LOVING the game! Absolutely stellar, refreshing revitalization of the JRPG.

The bug: Gully’s ‘Barrier Swing’ says it deals damage and then puts up a protection on the party member “most damaged at the time”. I use Gully as tank, so I cast it when she was approx. 232/270 HP and the other two party members were full health: Calibretto was 240/240 and Garrison 210/210. I received no further damage from the enemy mobs and when ‘Barrier Swing’ was cast, it ended up protecting Garrison, who despite being the lowest health, wasn’t damaged at all.

I thought this might be a bug based on the text of the ability. I’m hoping it’s meant to protect damaged party members instead of lowest health, because that makes it a better ability for when using a tank role

Keep up the GREAT work, team. Amazing game!

I think the devs had a different intention for the ability, I quoted one from another thread, but I agree it’s a little confusing ATM :

[Bug] Minor bug, but major problem for Gully builds

It should probably read “lowest health”. the intention is that the character who is closest to death gets the shield (since theres no risk of overhealing). Heals will always favor allies who are most damaged (to avoid healing someone who is at a lower health but is at full). Her protection ability applies a stronger shield and you can pick your targets with that one

Ahh, my bad for the duplicative “bug” post! Perhaps it’s just a text/wording miscommunication, then. Though I agree with the original poster from a month ago: the ability (as we perceived it) would be much more intuitive for a tank role!
