Description	If unit initiates combat, inflicts status on foe restricting movement to 1 space through its next action.

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.
Brynhildr applies the Gravity 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.
- Gravity has priority over Mobility increased.

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

Stats	Description	Cost
—	Reduces damage from magic foe's first attack by 30%. If foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and unit's Def > foe's Def, foe cannot make a follow-up attack.	400 SP, 500, 200
+2 HP, +1 Mt	Reduces damage from magic foe's first attack by 30%.	400 SP, 500, 200
+2 HP, +2 Spd	Reduces damage from magic foe's first attack by 30%.	400 SP, 500, 200
+2 HP, +3 Def	Reduces damage from magic foe's first attack by 30%.	400 SP, 500, 200
+2 HP, +3 Res	Reduces damage from magic foe's first attack by 30%.	400 SP, 500, 200

The damage-reduction 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.
- Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  - For example, if both Buffer 4 and Godlike Reflexes activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 70% instead of 90%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 50%) × (1 − 40%) = 30% of the original damage.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Sources of effects that reduce damage-reduction:

Brynhildr can prevent the foe from making a standard follow-up attack.
- As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a standard follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference is used (including effects that increase the Spd difference such as Wyvern Rift).
- Brynhildr will not prevent a unit with a "unit attacks twice" effect from performing the 2 consecutive attacks, but the the unit will not be able to perform a standard follow-up attack.
- Brynhildr will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of 【Potent Follow X%】.
- A foe with effects such as Mag. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of Brynhildr.
