Notes

• The combat reductions and cooldown charge of Deadly Balance will activate if the unit wielding it receives a 【Penalty】.
  • The presence or absence of a 【Bonus】 (including  bonuses) does not affect activation.
  • The combat reductions and cooldown charge will be negated if the unit wielding it possesses a source of penalty neutralization.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Deadly Balance is considered a combat reduction.
• Only attacks performed by the foe have the Special cooldown charge +X effect. This is true regardless of who initiated combat.
• If the user has a "Special cooldown charge +X" effect and a foe has a "Special cooldown charge -X" effect, the effects will stack.
  • For example, if a unit with  Guard Sword+ battles an foe with  Heavy Blade 3 active:
    • The effects will only stack when the foe attacks and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
    • The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will only take place when the user attacks.
•  Creator Sword will neutralize any effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
