Do the stats buffs and debuffs stack?

If I have some monster skill that increases or decreases some stats do they stack in the battle or wore off when the monster is switched?

For example, if I have a Smiter with Force II, can I switch it 2 times and get the buff twice? Or do the same thing with debuffs?

Unfortunately, Talents affecting your monsters does not stack.. However there was a thread before that says Talents affecting enemy mobs to stack (e.g. repeated switching for Intimidate or Unnerve).. Though i'm not sure who in the forums can support this..

Btw, all skills that does buff/de-buff to or against your monsters stacks w/ the exception of PoD.. (e.g. 4 Meditation charges can get OHKO thru Mind-Bending on S Grade Champ, 5 Meditation can get OHKO thru Mind-Bending on S Grade Felicity)

If you swap out a monster, all non-status (with the exception of confusion) buffs and debufs disappear. As Swift said, all skill buffs/ debuffs are stackable with the exception of Power of Darkness. So if you were to send in a Force-II Smiter several times consecutively, it would only gain the attack buff during its time in battle, once you switch it, the buff disappears until the next switch-in with Smiter.

Thanks for the info guys, that's what I thought.
But in some battles after some switching it seemed that the buffs and debuffs (specially the debuffs from intimidate) did stack. So I was asking.

Maybe it was pure luck and the attacks were low or something else, and it seemed that way.

BTW, it would be nice if support would take some serious description of all these things for players that want to know all the battle system in detail. As well as all the percentages, numbers and so on that is involved. For example, how they compute the hit ratings, dodges, crit's and so on.

If it is, then i think what the other thread's claim before is true.. Not really sure who or where it was posted..

Stacking isn't just for enemy mobs . I haven't tried intimidate but unnerve debuff can definitely be stacked up. Tried it out during a rares-only fight,
S Angel vs S Lupa. Even with the lupa using meditation constantly, Angel's unnerve reduced lupa damage against angel until spirit channel was doing less than 5hp dmg p hit.
Used magic armor shriek & ice therapy blubbie to tank the switching.

And what happen when you switch the lupa, will it hold the stats or they will be cleaned off?

Lupa did not get the matk debuff cleaned off even after being switched out for several turns.
