Bufu deals light Ice damage to one target.
In Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, Bufu launches an Ice projectile that deals light Ice damage upon impact. Targets weak to Ice attacks will be inflicted with the Freeze status effect.
In Persona 3 and Persona 5, like with all Ice skills, Bufu also has a low chance of inflicting Freeze to the foe. The effects of the ailment vary.
