Does Ozymandias's Buff Chance Increase work on Archuria's NP charge drain?

Question is basically in the title, but to make it more specific: Does Ozymandias's third skill, Protection from Ra, which grants between 20-40% buff success rate (along with 20% NP charge for the party) work on Arturia Archer's 70% chance to drain the NP gauge of an enemy by one when using her NP, Excalibur Vivian, on them?

My Ramesses II currently has the skill in question at 7, so a 32% chance increase in buff chance. If it DOES work on Archuria's NP, it should make the drain guaranteed, but I know some effects that rely on probability are different, and this is technically not a buff I guess, but a debuff on the enemy? So by that logic Ozy's skill doesn't apply, it wouldn't work, correct? I just want this clarified, thank you!

NP drain isn't a buff it's a debuff of some sort. There isn't a servant that raises that it's more of luck and Archuria is an NP spammer because of that. Honestly don't even think it's a debuff since it doesnt appear on the status (those symbols under the enemy's health bar) and so debuff chance doesn't work too couldn't confirm though.

pretty sure it's a debuff.
the shadow Euryale on the ruins node has pretty much dodged almost all my NP drains from my Carmilla and Tamamo. I'd say it has only worked for liek, 1 of 5 times. Euryale has a 50% debuff resistance overall with Magic Resistance A and Core of the Goddess EX.

Don't have drain servants other than Eury sadly...have you tested more? I'm not sure since some people said it was based on luck. Have you tried running the node with either Tammy or Carmilla with a debuff chance CE to see how it works. Couldn't do it after all my Eury is only lvl 58...

idk if I'll ever have a chance to test more coz I've finished the main story and now moving on to farm to clear the shop. I'm not a whale so I don't have an unlimited resource of AP lol.
I can only base it on my experience. been using Carmilla and Tammy for a while now and yea there are times that their NP drain doesn't work(mostly coz lowered level skills) but I haven't seen it work this bad. It works really well on common enemies and servants even at lower levels. I've ran this node for liek, 6 times I think, and yea, she always dodges the NP drains and other debuffs like crit down and def down.

Yeah that's right, NP drain is a debuff. Ozy's skill works on buffs only.
