Description	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against dragon foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and also grants effects based on the total value of bonuses on the 3 allies with the highest bonus totals: If ≥ 10, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If ≥ 25, grants an additional Atk+5 during combat, and also, if unit deals damage to foe during combat, restores 5 HP to unit. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.) If ≥ 60, if foe initiates combat, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack.

Notes

• When battling a Dragon unit or a unit with  Loptous, damage is boosted by 50%.

• Sources of Dragon effectiveness neutralization:
•  Breath of Blight
•  Devoted Breath
•  Eerie Scripture
•  Snow's Grace
•  Sublime Surge
•  Neutralize Effective Against Dragons

• "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.
• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Genesis Falchion is considered a temporary buff.
• Genesis Falchion will not neutralize the additional follow-up of Potent Follow effects.
• Follow-up effects that are neutralized by Genesis Falchion:
  • Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as  Quick Riposte 4,  Guaranteed follow-ups during combat, 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.
• Genesis Falchion's healing effect will not work if the user is prevented from recovering HP during combat by HP recovery preventing effects, unless the user has an effect that neutralizes or reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 during combat such as  Divine Nectar or  Imbue.

• "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.
• Genesis Falchion does not grant the user the ability to counterattack regardless of foe's range.
• If the user can counterattack, either from using a weapon with the same range as the foe's weapon or from countering skills, the user's counterattack will occur before the foe's initial attack.
• Genesis Falchion changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Armorpin Dagger+.

If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat and grants effects to unit based on the total value of bonuses on the 3 allies with the highest bonus totals (excluding unit): if ≥ 10, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks, effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, and effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat; if ≥ 25, grants an additional Atk+5 to unit during combat, and also, if unit deals damage to foe during combat, restores 7 HP to unit (triggers even if 0 damage is dealt); and if ≥ 60 and foe initiates combat, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit (X = 5 + highest bonus on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; calculates each stat bonus independently) and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).	400 SP,  500,  200

Notes

• Refined Genesis Falchion will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as  Guard Sword+,  Guard, or  【Divine Vein (Vert)】.
  • Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Refined Genesis Falchion 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.

• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by  Genesis Falchion is considered a temporary buff.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Genesis Falchion will activate if unit or allies with the highest bonuses receive  Bonuses.
  • The stat increasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if unit or allies with the highest bonuses receive  Penalties.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Genesis Falchion will stack with the temporary debuffs from  Neutralize Bonuses or sources of bonus neutralization.
  • The stat increasing effect will be negated if unit or allies with the highest bonuses are affected by  Panic (and not affected by  Null Panic), or unit or allies with the highest bonuses have their  Bonuses removed by a source of Bonus effect neutralization.

• The non-Special "reduces damage by X%" 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 only during combat by effects such as  Share Spoils+ or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
