Notes

• Def is chosen if the unit does  Physical damage. Res is chosen if the unit does  Magical damage.
  • Growing Light is affected by skills that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res", as well as skills that disable such effect.
    • Exceptions include skills that grant or disable this effect only "during combat", such as  Inf. Hexblade 3 and  Light and Dark II.
  • Damage dealt "before combat", such as from Growing Light, is affected by  Bonuses,  Penalties,  Dominance, and  Treachery.
    • Damage dealt "before combat", such as from Growing Light, is not affected by "during combat" effects such as  Bonus Doubler,  Foe Penalty Doubler,  Cross Spur Atk, or weapon-triangle advantages.
  • Skills such as  Queensblade,  Sentinel Bow, or  Breezy Spear can prevent Growing Light from triggering.

• Growing Light 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,  Niðavellir Axiom, or  Gold Perfection 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.
