Notes

• The Special damage boosting effect of Bond Blast 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, 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.
• Bond Blast applies the  Bonded status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Bonded is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
  • If the affected unit or allies do not have a skill that uses  Bonded as a condition,  Bonded has no effect, but can still be used to trigger skills that require a 【Bonus】 such as  Atk/Spd Prime 4 and  Gainful Bow+.
• Unit selection takes place after all  Bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new  Bonuses or  Penalties are applied. All other existing  Bonuses and  Penalties count towards their respective stats during unit selection.
  • Bond Blast does not compare Atk stats, so 【Phantom】 effects will not work.
  • If multiple units are tied for the highest Atk, each of those units will receive the effect.
• Bond Blast will neutralize non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as  Vital Astra.
  • Bond Blast will not neutralize Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Gust or  Laguz Friend 4.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• 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.
  • Special "reduces damage by X%" effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The damage reduction granted to the unit and damage reduction neutralization effects of Bond Blast will only activate if the unit has their Ally Support partner deployed on the map.
  • Skills such as  Queensblade or  Breezy Spear will prevent Ally Support effects from triggering during combat.
