Notes[]

The stat decrease that can be applied by Atk/Spd Ruse 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.
Atk/Spd Ruse applies the Guard status effect.
- Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the status effect for their first action.

The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both Guard and Accelerate Special, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
- This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge -1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" effect is active.
Skills such as Spd/Def Tempo 3 and Whirling Grace will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.

Atk/Spd Ruse does not trigger if the unit receives a bonus indirectly from skills, such as from Rally Up Atk+.
Cardinal directions refers to a targets being directly north, south, west, or east of the user. Distance does not factor.
