Notes[ | ]
- The stat increase that can be applied by Gold Serpent is considered a
Bonus.
- Gold Serpent applies the Canto (１) status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Canto (１) is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
- Canto (１) 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 (１) 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 (１) to 1 space for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces for Range = 2 units.
- Canto (１) takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a Cavalry unit cannot use Canto (１) to enter or cross through a forest.
- Canto (１) 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 (１) 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 (１).
- The movement granted by Canto (１) is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as Mobility increased, Gallop, Stall, and Gravity.

- The damage boosting effect will also affect area-of-effect Specials such as Rising Flame and Growing Thunder.

Embla's Ward, 
Múspellflame,

- Dual Strike'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.
