Notes[ | ]

  • The stat decrease that can be applied by Def/Res Ruse is considered a Status Effect Penalty penalty.
    • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit, including Status Effect Penalty penalties, lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the penalty for their first action.
      • If the unit also has Status Effect Grand Strategy Grand Strategy, any Status Effect Penalty penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
  • Def/Res Ruse applies the Status Effect Guard Guard 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 the status effect for their first action.
    • The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect.
      • For example, if a unit is affected by both Status Effect Guard Guard and Status Effect Special Cooldown Charge 1 Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
    • If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions 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 Spd Def Tempo 4 Spd/Def Tempo 4 and Icon Class Green Axe Whirling Grace will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
  • Def/Res Ruse does not trigger if the unit receives a Status Effect Bonus bonus indirectly from skills, such as from Skilliconassist Rally Up Res+.
  • Cardinal directions refers to spaces directly north, south, east, or west of the user. Distance does not factor.
