Bulwark
ModifierBulwark is an Enemy Modifier that gives affected enemies a recurring window of complete damage immunity. Every 10 seconds, a Bulwark enemy becomes immune to all damage for 3 seconds before returning to normal.
Because the immunity window is on a fixed timer rather than tied to the enemy's health or a trigger, tracking when a Bulwark enemy is about to become immune matters more than raw damage output when trying to burst it down.
Details
How Bulwark works
Bulwark enemies cycle through a fixed timer: every 10 seconds, they become fully immune to damage for 3 seconds before the immunity window ends and damage resumes normally. This repeats for as long as the enemy is alive.
Since the immunity is time-based rather than conditional, any damage dealt during the 3 second window is entirely wasted against a Bulwark target, regardless of how much damage is thrown at it.
How to play around Bulwark
Sustained Damage-over-Time effects like Bleed or Burn that were applied before the immunity window can still be worth using, since some Damage-over-Time implementations continue to tick independently, but direct attacks timed during the immune window deal no damage. Spacing out burst damage to land during the 7 second vulnerable window rather than the 3 second immune window gets more value per hit.
FAQ
What does Bulwark do in Anime Expeditions?
Bulwark is an Enemy Modifier that makes affected enemies immune to all damage for 3 seconds every 10 seconds.
How often does a Bulwark enemy become immune?
Every 10 seconds, on a repeating cycle, a Bulwark enemy gains 3 seconds of full damage immunity.
Is there a way to bypass Bulwark's immunity?
The immunity window blocks damage for its full 3 second duration regardless of attack type, so the main counterplay is timing burst damage to land during the 7 second vulnerable window instead.
