Notes[ | ]
- The effect of Guard Bearing only activates during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase of that turn.
- If the user or a foe has any skills that neutralize or stack with Guard Bearing's effect, those effects will only stack or be neutralized during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase of that turn.
- "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.
- If the user or a foe has any skills that neutralize or stack with Guard Bearing's effect, those effects will only stack or be neutralized during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase of that turn.
- The damage-reduction 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.
- Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- For example, if both Buffer 4 and Godlike Reflexes activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 70% instead of 90%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 50%) × (1 − 40%) = 30% of the original damage.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
