Sources of Armored effectiveness neutralization:

The temporary buffs and penalty neutralization effects of

will activate if the unit wielding it receives a 【Penalty】 effect.

- The temporary buffs and penalty neutralization effects will not be negated if the unit wielding it receives a 【Bonus】 effect.
- If the unit wielding it does not receive a 【Penalty】 effect, or has their 【Penalty】 effect removed by a source of Penalty effect neutralization, the temporary buffs and penalty neutralization effects will be negated.
- For more information, see Status effects.

- Penalties are neutralized by granting temporary buffs of the same amount during combat.
- Temporary buffs from

Notes[]

"If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by Demonic Breath is considered a temporary debuff.

The non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance.
- If a skill such as Miracle or Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
- Umbra Burst weapons will always deal a minimum of 1 damage even if the foe is equipped with
  Invincible Sister

,

Vengeful God

, Invincibility Seals, or damage reduction effects.

- "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  - For example, if both Dodge and Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
- Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced only during combat by effects such as Share Spoils+ or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
