Notes[ | ]
- The stat increase that can be applied by Def/Res Gap is considered a
Bonus.
- Unit selection takes place after all Bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new Bonuses or Penalties are applied. All other existing Bonuses and Penalties count towards their respective stats during unit selection.
- Def/Res Gap does not compare Def+Res total stats, so 【Phantom】 effects will not work.
- If multiple units are tied for the highest Def+Res total, each of those units will receive the effect.
