Notes

• Falchion's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
  • Breaker Passives and  Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
  • If Falchion's user performs a follow-up attack, either by a speed check or a skill such as  Brash Assault 3, users will land a total of 4 attacks during combat.
    • A foe with skills such as  Null Follow-Up 3 will neutralize any of Falchion's user's skills that guarantee follow-up attacks.
• Any of the refinements grant the same effect as  Renewal 3.
• The effect is applied regardless if Falchion's user performs an attack during combat. If foe engages and user cannot counterattack, Falchion's effect will still activate.
• Falchion's user needs to survive the combat for the effect to activate.

• Falchion inflicts out of combat damage.
  • Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward or  Múspellflame will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
  • A foe equipped with  Røkkr will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except area-of-effect Specials.
• Falchion stacks with healing from skills like  Mystic Boost 3.
  • For example, if a unit has both Fury and Mystic Boost,  Fury 1 +  Mystic Boost 2 = +2 HP, and  Fury 3 +  Mystic Boost 3 = 0 HP.

Trivia

• The first listed refined effect is a reference to a skill in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia known as "Double Lion", which allows the user to attack twice consecutively and is found on the  Royal Sword, one of Alm's preferred weapons.
  • However, later on  Celica: Warrior Priestess received a more powerful version of this skill, named  Double Lion.
• The skill ID for the refined effect listed first is SID_連撃消耗, which can be translated as Consecutive Attacks Exhaustion.
