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.
• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Constant Dagger is considered a temporary buff.
• Constant Dagger can prevent the foe from counterattacking.
  • A foe with effects such as  Null C-Disrupt 4 or  Fell Spirit will be able to counter.
  • A foe with  Mystic Boost 4 will only be able to counter against  Staff units.
  • A foe with  Ice-Bound Brand,  Ice-Crystal Spear,  Nifl's Bite, or  Holy Yule Blade will only be able to counter against Range = 2 units.
• 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.
• Constant Dagger triggers before Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
• The counterattack prevention and support partner swapping effects of Constant Dagger can trigger 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 only during combat.
• If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
  • This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Constant Dagger is considered a  Penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Penalties for their first action.
    • If the unit also has  Grand Strategy, any  Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.

Notes

• The damage boosting effect of refined Constant Dagger ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage-reduction effects such as  Gust,  Atk/Spd Excel, and  Dodge.
  • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  • A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • A foe equipped with  Invincible Sister will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after it triggers.
  • A foe equipped with  Vengeful God will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after  Miracle triggers if that foe's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The support partner swapping effects of refined Constant Dagger can trigger 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 only during combat.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by  Constant Dagger is considered a  Penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Penalties for their first action.
    • If the unit also has  Grand Strategy, any  Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
•  Constant Dagger applies the  Discord status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Discord for their first action.
  • The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by  Discord is considered a temporary debuff.

• The "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect.
  • For example, if a unit is affected by both  Guard and  Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
  • If the effect is active, the unit will gain 2 charges from both attacking and being attacked.
• If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge +X", only the higher of the two charge increases will apply.
  • This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge +1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge +1" effect is active.
• Skills such as  Tempo Echo and  Arcane Þrima will neutralize effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe.
•  Constant Dagger inflicts out of combat damage.
  • Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
  • A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
  • A foe equipped with  Røkkr or a unit with  En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Area-of-effect Specials.
