Bulwark is a special status that applies to Demons. Bulwarks have both an HP value and a duration in turns. While a Demon has a Bulwark, damage it receives will damage the Bulwark's HP instead. A Demon can have multiple Bulwarks, though their total HP cannot exceed the Demon's maximum HP, ignoring Fortify and Decay; Bulwarks that would exceed this value are capped, and further Bulwarks are not applied. When a Demon has multiple Bulwarks, the one with the shortest remaining duration will be damaged first; if there are multiple such Bulwarks, then the most recent one is damaged. The Bulwark's duration counts down at the start of the party's turn, and it will disappear once it reaches 0.

Damage described as "Bulwark-piercing" ignores Bulwarks and damages the Demon's HP directly. Healing effects are not affected by Bulwarks, and fractional damage does not take Bulwark HP into account. Bulwarks are not considered a status effect, so they can only be removed through effects that explicitly remove Bulwarks.
