Am I missing something or should this not remove buffs when it hits an enemy?

Wow, so it looks like the description is just a lie, it actually strips YOUR buffs off, not a Foe's. For 60 bucks, I mistakenly assumed descriptions of skills would be accurate.

I know, right?

Can confirm, the skill is bugged, does exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do.
Tragically, it even removes built-in buffs from items like Beastly Scarf.

The description is wrong in the Japanese version of the game as well. So not technically a translation error.

But yes, it removes the Warrior's buffs and deals damage. It's good this way because you can power it up by stacking more buffs on yourself. You wouldn't have been able to do that if it was buffs on enemy as you can't really cast buffs on enemies.

It actually CAN work better the way it's coded (rather than the way it's described); stacking subjobs on your party that can majorly buff up your warrior, then letting fly will be an absolute disaster for whoever they hit. While it is a bummer that we can't just clear enemy buffs away with a single attack, it is still quite useful when you plan ahead!

The description isn't wrong in Japanese. It says
敵単体に自身の良い効果を全て消して剣でダメージを与える
消えた個数が多いほど威力が増加する

Which means the same thing except that it erases the user's positive effects, stated with the "自身の良い効果" part. I assume it's the part before it that confused the translators. It says it's directed at a single enemy, but it means the attack, not the effect negation.
