What kind of buff/debuffs? Are you using states or "damage" (INT/ATK-based "damage" to stats)?

Make the precondition to be turns elapsed = X and set it to a high priority,

Yeah, it's real strange. They'll use healing abilities fine, but they will not touch Buffs like ATK/DEF/INT Up, Haste, or any of those. They'll just do... nothing instead.

For some reason, Rm2k3 enemies won't use a spell on themselves that only sets a condition like reflect or double defense. I found adding one point of INT gain fixed this problem, and since INT is a broken stat you hardly notice a change outside the status effect.

You can also increase an elemental resistance to make enemies use buffs. I had an element that was never used except that enemy buff skills would increase resistance to it to actually get enemies to use the skill.

Ah ha! Excellent. I never thought of doing that! And now it works. I just made a useless buff, like GRS said, and now they finally cast Buffs. Wah ha ha!

I usually do those buffing stages for enemies when their HP is half way or something.

States.

Tried this as well. They choose to do nothing instead.

Oh, is this some sort of known bug in the RM2K3 battle system? Such a buggy system. I'll just have to do it with switches instead.

I am 99% sure I did not encounter this. I remember giving dudes (Alphas) attack buffs in Iron Gaia: Virus without using any of the above workarounds. So I have no idea what is causing this and I'm not completely sure it's universal to 2k3.

I think enemies in Between Two Worlds (and maybe eldritch?) used buffs as well.
