Anyone Know How to Make a Phalanx Ability? +Def based on Ally Shield

[Grape_You_In_The_Mouth]

Whatup Gangsters, if anyone knows how to make a phalanx ability where me and/or my nearby ally get +Def if one of us is wearing a shield, that would be killer.  I've tried for a couple days and the conditional just didn't seem to be working.

Just shooting in the dark here but how about an AuraAbility with two status effects (or just two separate AuraAbilities), one blank with a condition that checks HasShieldEquipped on the target, and one with the actual Def effect and a HasStatusEffect conditional which checks for the blank effect on PartyAny (b1a7ea1e-0000-0000-0000-000000000000). That way if anyone within the aura has a shield, everyone would get the buff. Not very clean, but...
