Notes

• Argent Bow's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
  • Effects such as  Foe Cannot Follow-Up and  Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
  • If Argent Bow's user can perform a follow-up attack, either from a speed check or effects such as  Guaranteed Follow-Ups or  Quick Riposte 3, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
    • A foe with skills such as  Null Follow-Up 3 or the  Null Follow-Up status effect will neutralize any effect on Argent Bow's user that guarantees follow-up attacks .
• When battling a  Flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
  •  Ashera's Chosen,  Dragonscale,  Dragonskin,  Dragoon Shield,  Iote's Shield,  Bushido II,  Gurgurant,  Hel's Reaper,  Pastel Poleaxe, and the  Neutralize Effective Against Flying status effect will neutralize the attack increase against flying units.

Notes

• The refined version listed first has the same effect as  Chill Def 3.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Argent Bow is considered a  penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit, including  penalties, lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the penalty for their first action.
    • If the unit also has  Grand Strategy, any  penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
• Argent Bow does not compare Def stats.
  • Because no comparison is made, skills like  Phantom Spd 3 have no effect.
• Unit selection takes place after all  bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new bonuses or  penalties are applied. All other existing bonuses and penalties count towards their respective stats during unit selection.
• If multiple units are tied for the highest Def, each of those units will receive the effect.
