Growing Thunder inflicts out of combat damage.
- Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
- A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
- A foe equipped with Røkkr or a unit with En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Area-of-effect Specials.
Area-of-effect Special damage is affected by Bonuses, Penalties, Area-of-effect Special damage boosting effects such as Dominance and Change of Fate, effects that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res", and effects that disable such effect.
- Exceptions include effects that grant or disable "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" only "during combat", such as Inf. Hexblade 3 and Light and Dark II.
- Area-of-effect Special damage is not affected by "during combat" effects such as Fringe Bonus, Sabotage, Cross Spur Atk, or weapon-triangle advantages.
- Def is chosen if the unit does physical damage. Res is chosen if the unit does magical damage.
- Area-of-effect Special damage, can be reduced by Area-of-effect Special damage-reduction effects such as Arcane Renegade and 【Divine Vein (Stone)】.
- Skills such as Bonded Blades, Queensblade, Sentinel Bow, or Breezy Spear can prevent Growing Thunder from triggering.
