Might	16

Required	Silver Sword
SP	400
Exclusive?	Yes
String ID	SID_烈剣デュランダル
Description	Grants Atk+3. If unit's Atk > foe's Atk, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per unit's attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Notes

• Has the same effect as  Heavy Blade 3.
• Only attacks performed by the user have the Special cooldown charge +X effect. This is true regardless of who initiated combat.
• If the user has a "Special cooldown charge +X" effect and a foe has a "Special cooldown charge -X" effect, the effects will stack.
  • For example, if a unit with  Guard Sword+ battles an foe with  Heavy Blade 3 active:
    • The effects will only stack when the user attacks and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
    • The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will only take place when the foe attacks.
•  Creator Sword will neutralize any effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.

Upgrades

Can be upgraded in the Weapon Refinery. For a list of other such weapons, see list of upgradable weapons.

Notes

• The skill refined version of Blazing Durandal has the same effect as  Steady Impact.
• If unit initiates combat means if the user starts a combat on their turn. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
  • However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
  • The user initiating combat is the requirement for both the Special cooldown charge -1 inflicted on foe and the Special cooldown charge +1 granted on unit.
    • If the skill is active, the unit will gain 2 charges from attacking and being attacked.
• If a foe has a "Special cooldown charge +X" effect and a unit has a "Special cooldown charge -X" effect, the effects will stack.
  • For example, if a unit with  Guard Sword+ attacks an enemy with  Steady Breath, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
• If used alongside a skill that also inflicts "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
  • This means that if a unit has "Special cooldown charge -1" and "Special cooldown charge -1" from two different skills, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" is active.
•  Creator Sword will neutralize any effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Blazing Durandal is considered a combat boost.
• Blazing Durandal can prevent the foe from making a follow-up attack.
  • Blazing Durandal will not prevent a Brave Weapon user from performing the 2 consecutive attacks when initiating combat, but the attacker is not able to perform a follow-up attack.
  • As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make, a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the standard speed check decides instead.
  • A foe with skills such as  Null Follow-Up 3,  Dragon's Ire 3, and  Daring Fighter 3 is unaffected by Blazing Durandal's follow-up attack prevention.
