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 increase that can be applied by Distant Def is considered a temporary buff.
- Distant Def 4 can neutralize
Bonuses.
- Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
- The Bonus neutralizing effect will be negated if the affected unit has Panic (and doesn't have Null Panic), or has their Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
