Notes

• The damage-reduction effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Lúin and  Dominance.
  • If a skill such as  Miracle or  Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

Notes

• "If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. 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 stat increase that can be applied by Refined Blood Tome is considered a temporary buff.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Refined Blood Tome is considered a temporary debuff.

• The damage boosting effect of Refined Blood Tome 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.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
•  Blood Tome applies the  Cancel Affinity status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Cancel Affinity is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
  •  Cancel Affinity will reverse effects such as  Triangle Adept or  Ruby Sword+.
  •  Cancel Affinity does not effect skills that grant additional or altered weapon-triangle advantage(s) such as  Duality, Raven Tomes, or Time Traveler skills.
  • See weapon-triangle for more information on weapon triangle advantage effects.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by  Blood Tome is considered a  Penalty.
  • 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  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.
•  Blood Tome applies the  Triangle Adept 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  Triangle Adept for their first action.
  • Effects such as  Duality or  Cancel Affinity can negate the weapon-triangle advantage value boosting and reducing effects of  Triangle Adept.
  • The weapon-triangle advantage value boosting and reducing effects of  Triangle Adept do not stack with similar effects such as Gem weapons.
  • See weapon-triangle for more information on weapon triangle advantage effects.
• 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  Special Cooldown Charge +1, 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 4 and  Whirling Grace will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
