Rippler is a Lore ability that exchanges all statuses of the user with the statuses of the target, including several "not named in-game" statuses such as Interceptor Guard, and is thus the cause of the Rippler bug. It can copy the status effects from relics such as Miracle Shoes, but the wearer of the relic does not lose the status due to it being permanent on the character. The player can still dispel the enemy who used Rippler to remove the statuses they gain from the relic(s), as they are not permanent on them.
