Description	Effective against cavalry foes. Grants Spd+3. At the start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+6 during combat. If unit's HP < 100% and unit initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.

Notes

• When battling a  cavalry unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
  •  Grani's Shield will neutralize the attack increase against cavalry units.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Dark Spikes T is considered a combat boost.
• 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.
• A foe with skills such as  Null Follow-Up 3 or a status effect such as  Null Follow-Up will disable Dark Spikes T's guaranteed follow-up attack effect.
• As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make, a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the standard speed check decides instead.
• If the user can perform a follow-up attack, either by a speed check or a skill such as  Brash Assault 3, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
• A foe with a skill such as  Vantage 3 has priority over the user with Dark Spikes T.
• Dark Spikes T changes the attack priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be disabled by skills such as  Hardy Bearing 3.
