Notes[]
- Falchion'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 Falchion's user can perform a follow-up attack, either from a speed check or effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups or Quick Riposte 3, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
- A foe with skills such as Null Follow-Up 3 or the Null Follow-Up status effect will neutralize any effect on Falchion's user that guarantees follow-up attacks .
- A foe with skills such as
- Effects such as
- 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, Múspellflame, or Niðavellir Axiom will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
- A foe equipped with Røkkr or a unit affected by En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except area-of-effect Specials.
- Falchion stacks with after-combat healing from skills such as Mystic Boost 3.
- For example, if a unit has both Fury and Mystic Boost, Fury 1 + Mystic Boost 2 = +2 HP, Fury 3 + Mystic Boost 3 = 0 HP, and Fury 4 + Mystic Boost 3 = -2 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.
- However, later on
- The skill ID for the refined effect listed first is
SID_連撃消耗, which can be translated as Consecutive Attacks Exhaustion.
