Notes[ | ]

Dual Sword's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
- Effects such as Foe Cannot Follow-Up and Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
- If Dual Sword's user can perform a standard follow-up attack, either by passing the Spd difference check or effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups or Quick Riposte 4, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
  - Dual Sword's extra attack does not affect the additional follow-up granted by 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
  - A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize any effect on Dual Sword's user that guarantees follow-up attacks.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Dual Sword is considered a temporary debuff.
The temporary debuffs of Dual Sword will not apply if an ally enters combat and the user is inflicted with Time's Grip, the ally is inflicted with Feud, or the ally is in combat against a foe with skills such as Impenetrable Void and C Feud 3.
The stat increase that can be applied by Dual Sword is considered a temporary buff.

The damage-reduction 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.
- "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 by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Dual Sword will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on foes from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will be neutralized on foes, Dual Sword will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect inflicted on the foe from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit.
Dual Sword will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Dual Sword will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Dual Sword is considered a Penalty.
- 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 Penalties for their first action.
  - If the unit also has Grand Strategy, any Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
