Notes[]

Has the same effect as Hit and Run.
The damage-reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as Wo Dao+.
- Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and Triangle Adept.
  - For example, if both Spurn 3 and Vital Astra activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 58% instead of 70%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 30%) = 42% of the original damage.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Deadeye, Lethality, Sublime Heaven, and Twin Blades will neutralize Close Call's damage-reduction effect.
When used with offensive Specials, Bow of Frelia, Lioness Blade, Thunderer Tome, and Lands Sword will neutralize Close Call's damage-reduction effect.
Adroit War Tome and Þjálfi can reduce the damage-reduction of Close Call by 50%.
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.
Movement occurs only if both the unit and the target can enter the target spaces normally.
- For example, Drag Back cannot cause an Infantry unit to occupy a mountain space.
Close Call triggers before Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
