Notes[edit | edit source]

Has the same effect as Hit and Run.
Movement occurs only if both the unit and the foe 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.
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 Close Call's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
Þjálfi will reduce the damage reduction of Close Call's damage reduction effect by 50%.
