Just put a piece of gear who have any of those chips, use provoke and test. A good way to do it is let the Squire only with a one piece of gear with Ability or Damage buff, Use provoke and see if the dmg increase in a dummy(remenber then provoke will raise the hero dmg anyway, but the Damage Buff chip is not being apllied, same with Ability Chip).
Expected Results: Buuffs from both chip are not being apllied
they don't work with abyss lord's healing fountain either, even though the UI specifically has a "heroes buffed" count on it (key word being "buffed" lol).
