Skill Interaction[ | ]
Main articles: Skill interaction, Damage calculation
- Halves non-Special damage reduction will reduce the effect of non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as
Vital Astra.
- Damage-reduction reducing effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- For example, if a unit has Halves non-Special damage reduction and a foe with Dodge is on a space with 【Divine Vein (Water)】, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 10%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − ((40% − 50%) − 50%)) = 90% of the original damage instead of 60% of the original damage.
- For example, if a unit has
- Each damage-reduction effect is reduced individually.
- For example, if a unit has Halves non-Special damage reduction and the foe has both Spurn 4 and Dodge, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 40%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − (50% − 50%)) × (1 − (40% − 50%)) = 60% of the original damage instead of 30% of the original damage.
- For example, if a unit has
- Halves non-Special damage reduction will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust or Laguz Friend 4.

| Weapon | Description |
|---|---|
| Dusk Rifle | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants the following effects to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn: Res+6, 【Bonus Doubler】, and "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)." After start-of-turn effects trigger on enemy phase, for unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit, converts penalties into bonuses and neutralizes two【Penalty】effects (does not apply to Penalty effects that are applied at the same time; neutralizes the first applicable Penalty effects on unit's list of active effects). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3, + 5 (max 14), deals damage = 20% of unit's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. 【Bonus Doubler】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of unit's stats for 1 turn. Calculates each stat bonus independently. 【Penalty】 All effects that last "on foe through its next action." Includes penalties inflicted by a skill like Panic or Threaten and negative status effects (preventing counterattacks, restricting movement, or the effects of a skill like Triangle Adept or Guard). |
| Suave Blade | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If a Rally or movement Assist skill (like Reposition, Shove, Pivot, etc.) is used by unit or targets unit, grants "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" and 【Bonus Doubler】to unit and target ally or unit and targeting ally for 1 turn. If a Rally or movement Assist skill is used by unit, grants another action to unit (once per turn). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 5 + number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3 (max 14), neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, and reduces damage from foe's first attack by number of 【Bonus】effects active on unit, excluding stat bonuses, × 3 during combat (max 15; excluding area-of-effect Specials; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). 【Bonus Doubler】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of unit's stats for 1 turn. Calculates each stat bonus independently. 【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance). |
| Summertime Axe | Enables【Canto (Rem. +1)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5. At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Spd/Def/Res+6, "neutralizes 'effective against flying' bonuses," and "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" to unit for 1 turn. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 15% of unit's Spd at start of combat, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, unit deals +X × 5 damage (max 30; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by X × 3 during combat (max 18; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage further by X × 3 (max 18; excluding area-of-effect Specials; X = number of【Bonus】effects active on unit and foe, excluding stat bonuses). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, restores 7 HP to unit after combat. 【Canto (Rem. +1)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move again. The distance of the movement is the remaining movement the unit had before the actions listed above+1 (If unit used a movement skill that warps them, the remainder is 0). (Unit moves according to movement type. Once per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest value applied. Does not stack. After moving, if a skill that grants another action would be triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will trigger after the granted action. Unit's base movement has no effect on movement granted. Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy) a distance greater than unit would be able to move with normal Canto movement.) 【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance). |
