If unit initiates combat
means if the user starts a combat on their turn. 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.
- As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make, a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the standard speed check decides instead.
- A foe with skills such as
Null Follow-Up 3 or a status effect such as 
Null Follow-Up will disable Guaranteed Follow-Ups.
When a unit has this status effect, an icon is shown on their sprite on the map.
