Skill Interaction

Main articles: Skill interaction, Savior

• Assign Decoy only triggers 【Savior】 if the unit's Range matches the Foe's Range and the unit is not equipped with skill that can trigger the Savior effect.
• "If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
  • However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
• 【Savior】 is triggered after "before combat AoE" skills.
• 【Savior】 will not protect the user's allies who are inflicted with  Undefended or are in combat against a foe with skills such as  Erosion.
• Effects such as  Impenetrable Void and  Feud will not disable 【Savior】.
• If 【Savior】 is triggered:
  • The user is considered as adjacent to the targeted ally, which means skills that have the "If unit is adjacent to an ally" condition trigger, while skills that have the "If unit is not adjacent to an ally" condition do not trigger.
  • The user will not be able to trigger the effects of skills such as  Might of Myriads, or priority changing effects such as  Spd Preempt 3 and  Paranoia.
  • Only during combat skills that are active on the targeted ally will be accounted on the user.
  • "After combat" movement is disabled on the foe, even if the user is defeated, such as with the movement from  Lunge and  Repel 4.
  • The targeted ally is unaffected by "after combat" effects, such as from  Pain+ and  Fatal Smoke 4.

When a unit has this status effect, an icon is shown on their sprite on the map.

Icon	Type	Example Source	Description	Sound Effect
	Positive	Arch-Sage Tome  Quieting Branch	If foe's Range = unit's Range and foe initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit (that turn only; triggers only if unit is not equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect). 【Savior】 Unit takes ally's space, enters combat in ally's place, and receives all after-combat effects. Savior will not trigger if ally is on terrain that unit cannot move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects do not occur.

If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 5 + highest bonus on each stat between allies within 3 spaces of unit (calculates each stat bonus independently), and if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). 【Assign Decoy】 If foe's Range = unit's Range and foe initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit (that turn only; triggers only if unit is not equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect). 【Savior】 Unit takes ally's space, enters combat in ally's place, and receives all after-combat effects.

Quieting Branch	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Def/Res-7, Panic, and【Sabotage】 on closest foes and any foe within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions, and inflicts【Assign Decoy】and status preventing counterattacks on foes with the lowest Def with Range = 1 and foes with the lowest Def with Range = 2 among closest foes and any foe within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def = 20% of unit's Res at start of combat + 6, grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack, and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2, and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. 【Sabotage】 Inflicts penalty on unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = highest penalty on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit through its next action. Calculates each stat penalty independently. 【Assign Decoy】 If foe's Range = unit's Range and foe initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit (that turn only; triggers only if unit is not equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect). 【Savior】 Unit takes ally's space, enters combat in ally's place, and receives all after-combat effects.
