The third effect is likely mistranslated
The Japanese version of the Kensei Armor has a discrepancy between the third effect's text and its actual effect. By setting the "Text Language" to English in the options, you can confirm that the correct effect is to conditionally apply two debuffs to the opponent, rather than providing buffs and debuffs on the Ghost Weapon.
