Future Focus	1	Unit and target ally swap spaces. Grants 【Future Witness】and【Null Follow-Up】to allies within 2 spaces of both unit and target after movement for 1 turn (including unit and target), grants Special cooldown-1 to unit and those allies, and grants another action to unit (once per turn).	Unit and target ally swap spaces. Grants 【Future Witness】and【Null Follow-Up】to allies within 2 spaces of both unit and target after movement for 1 turn (including unit and target), grants Special cooldown-1 to unit and those allies, and grants another action to unit (once per turn). 【Future Witness】 Enables【Canto (２)】. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if unit initiates combat and foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown). 【Null Follow-Up】 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks for 1 turn. 【Canto (２)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move ２ space(s). (Unit moves according to movement type. Once per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest value applied. Does not stack. After moving, if a skill that grants another action would be triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will trigger after the granted action. Unit's base movement has no effect on movement granted. Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy) a distance greater than unit would be able to move with normal Canto movement.)	400	Swap
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

Notes[ | ]

Has the same effect as Swap.
Movement occurs only if both the unit and the target can enter the target spaces normally.
- For example, Drag Back cannot cause an Infantry unit to occupy a mountain space.
Future Focus applies the Future Witness status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Future Witness is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

【Canto (２)】 will not trigger after an effect that grants "another action" if it has already been triggered that turn or if the unit does not perform an action.
- If 【Canto (２)】 has already been triggered that turn effects such as Forever Yours can re-enable it's usage.
Canto Control will reduce the amount of movement granted by 【Canto (２)】 to 1 space for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces for Range = 2 units.
【Canto (２)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (２)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
- 【Canto (２)】 also takes into account effects that alter a unit's normal movement such as movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Pass effects, Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
- 【Canto (２)】 also takes into account warping effects such as Guidance 4 and Air Orders. However, the distance is limited to the maximum amount of spaces allotted by 【Canto (２)】.
- The movement granted by 【Canto (２)】 is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as Mobility increased, Gallop, Stall, and Gravity.
The Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 that can be applied by Future Witness is considered a temporary buff.
The damage-reduction effect is a flat -7 damage that is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust and Dodge.
- 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.
- Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- Flat damage-reduction effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
"If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
Future Witness's Special cooldown count increase that occurs during combat is a flat +1 and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as Guard, Special Cooldown Charge +1, and Spd/Def Tempo 4.
- All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
  - For example, if a unit with Special trigger acceleration has Rally Spectrum and Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will not increase or decrease.

Future Focus applies the Null Follow-Up status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Null Follow-Up is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

Null Follow-Up will not neutralize the additional follow-up of 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
Effects that are neutralized by Null Follow-Up:
- Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as Quick Riposte 4, Guaranteed Follow-Ups, or the Grand Conquests Cavalry area effect.
- Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as Windsweep 3, Watersweep 3, or Weaving Fighter.
- Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as Steady Impact, Vengeful Fighter 4, or Foe Cannot Follow-Up.
