Notes[ | ]

Dark Perfume has the same effect as Time's Pulse 3.
Dark Perfume cancels the effect of Traps.
- Dark Perfume will will reduce Hex Trap's trigger condition by 10 HP.
Dark Perfume's cooldown count changing effect will not trigger if the unit is inflicted with False Start, unless False Start is removed by a skill such as Dream Deliverer.
Cooldown count changes from skills that activate at the same time as Dark Perfume (at start of turn) are not considered in Dark Perfume's conditions.^[1] Skills such as Infantry Pulse 4, Buffer 4, and Odd Pulse Tie 3 will have their effects stack.
Dark Perfume applies the Undefended 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 Undefended for their first action.

Undefended will prevent the unit from being targeted by 【Savior】.

Dark Perfume applies the Counterattacks disrupted 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 Counterattacks disrupted for their first action.

Counterattacks disrupted can prevent the foe from counterattacking.
- A foe with skills such as Null C-Disrupt 4 or Null C-Disrupt E will be able to counterattack.
- A foe with Mystic Boost 4 will only be able to counterattack against Staff units.
- A foe with Ice-Bound Brand, Ice-Crystal Spear, Nifl's Bite, or Holy Yule Blade will only be able to counterattack against ranged units.

The stat decrease that can be applied by Dark Perfume is considered a temporary debuff.

The damage boosting effect of Dark Perfume 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.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, Gold Perfection, or Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Dark Perfume will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Dark Perfume will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
