At start of player phase or enemy phase, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts Atk/Spd-7,【Ploy】, and【Exposure】 on those foes through their next actions. 【Ploy】 Neutralizes【Bonus Doubler】,【Treachery】, and【Grand Strategy】effects active on unit during combat through unit's next action. 【Exposure】 Foe's attacks deal +10 damage. 【Bonus Doubler】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of unit's stats for 1 turn. Calculates each stat bonus independently. 【Treachery】 Unit deals additional damage = total bonuses on unit for 1 turn. 【Grand Strategy】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current penalty on each of unit's stats × 2 for 1 turn. (Example: if unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+14, for a net bonus of Atk+7.) Calculates each stat bonus independently. Unit's negative effects that last "through unit's next action" will remain in effect until this status (Grand Strategy) is neutralized.
No restrictions.

Notes

• The stat decrease that can be applied by Atk/Spd Ploy is considered a  Penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Penalties 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.
• Atk/Spd Ploy applies the  Ploy status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Ploy for their first action.
  •  Ploy neutralizes the temporary buffs granted by  Bonus Doubler and  Grand Strategy, and the damage boosting effect of  Treachery only during combat.
    • Temporary buffs granted by  Bonus Doubler and  Grand Strategy are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
    • Since units inflicted with  Ploy will still have these status effects, effects that require a 【Bonus】 effect to trigger such as  Atk/Spd Prime 4 or  Empathy will still trigger.
    • If the affected unit does not have these status effects,  Ploy has no effect, but can still be used to trigger skills that require a 【Penalty】 effect such as  Atk/Spd Catch 4 or  Paranoia.
• Atk/Spd Ploy applies the  Exposure status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Exposure for their first action.

• The damage boosting effect is a flat +10 damage that ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage reduction effects such as  Gust,  Atk/Spd Excel, and  Dodge.
  • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  • A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • A foe equipped with  Invincible Sister will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after it triggers.
  • A foe equipped with  Vengeful God will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after  Miracle triggers if that foe's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Stat comparison takes place after all  Bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new bonuses or  Penalties are applied. Other existing bonuses and penalties on both units count towards their respective stats during stat comparison.
