Blue Lion Rule

Type	Icon	Name	SP	Required	Description
B		Blue Lion Rule	300	—	If unit's Def > foe's Def, 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%), and also if foe initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

Notes[]

The damage reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as Wo Dao+.
- Damage reductions by percentage stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and Triangle Adept.
  - For example, if both Urvan and Deflect Magic 1 activate, the total damage reduction is 86% instead of 110%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 80%) × (1 − 30%) = 14% of the original.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Twin Blades and Deadeye will neutralize Blue Lion Rule's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
Þjálfi will reduce the damage reduction of Blue Lion Rule's damage reduction effect by 50%.
A foe with skills such as Null Follow-Up 3 will disable Blue Lion Rule's guaranteed follow-up attack effect.
