'''Barrier Shift''' {{J|バリアチェンジ|Baria Chenji|Barrier Change}}, also known as '''Wall Change''', '''Barrier Change''', or '''Elemental Shift''', is a recurring ability in the series. Often used by bosses, it changes the user's [[Element (term)|elemental]] weakness while it absorbs all other elemental attacks, and it is often used after the player strikes the boss with its elemental weakness at the time.

Barrier Shift is the ability of [[Rubicante]]'s card. Barrier Shift requires one Fire CP and the discard of another Rubicante card to activate, and allows the player to choose an element. For the rest of the turn, Rubicante cannot be targeted by the effects of cards of that element.

Number 024's card is able to use an ability that emulates Barrier Shift. For the cost of one Light CP, the player can choose an element to prevent Number 024 from being selected by cards of that element for the rest of the turn.
