Physical Prowess is a Warmaster Support Skill in Octopath Traveler.
Effect[]
The equipped character gains the effects of the following Buffs in battle:
These buffs last indefinitely but are otherwise identical to the buffs provided by skills such as Lion Dance or Mole Dance. Augmenting a traveler with Increased Physical Attack or Increased Physical Defense has no effect.
Whenever a character is subjected to either Decreased Physical Attack or
Decreased Physical Defense, the corresponding stat buff will be temporarily negated for the duration of the debuff.
As skills that apply Increased Physical Attack or Increased Physical Defense have no effect on a traveler with Physical Prowess equipped, the only way to remove the debuff before the duration expires is by using the Starseer skill Celestial Intervention.
