Notes[ | ]

The stat decrease that can be applied by Heavenly Icicle is considered a temporary debuff.
Heavenly Icicle can prevent the foe from making a standard follow-up attack.
- As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a standard follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference is used (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as Frozen).
- Heavenly Icicle will not prevent a unit with a "unit attacks twice" effect from performing the 2 consecutive attacks, but the the unit will not be able to perform a standard follow-up attack.
- Heavenly Icicle will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
- Effects such as Mag. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of Heavenly Icicle.
The temporary debuffs and prevent follow-up of Heavenly Icicle will not apply if an ally enters combat and the user is inflicted with Time's Grip, the ally is inflicted with Feud, or the ally is in combat against a foe with skills such as Impenetrable Void and C Feud 3.
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 Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as Frozen).
A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Heavenly Icicle.
The effect of Heavenly Icicle will not apply to the user's allies if the user is inflicted with Time's Grip, the user's allies are inflicted with Feud, or the user's allies are in combat against a foe with skills such as Impenetrable Void and C Feud 3.
The guaranteed follow-up of Heavenly Icicle will not apply to the user's allies if the user is inflicted with Time's Grip, the user's allies are inflicted with Feud, or the user's allies are in combat against a foe with skills such as Impenetrable Void and C Feud 3.

Enables【Canto (Rem. +1)】. If unit initiates combat or is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Spd/Def, and unit deals +X × 4 damage during combat (X = number of allies within 3 spaces of unit + number of foes within 3 spaces of target (including target); max 16; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

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.)	400 SP, 500, 200

Notes[ | ]

Heavenly Icicle can neutralize Bonuses.
- Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
- The Bonus neutralizing effect will be negated if the affected unit has Panic (and doesn't have Null Panic), or has their Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.

The damage boosting effect is a flat +X (max: 16) damage that ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage reduction effects such as Gust, Atk/Spd Excel, and Dodge.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, or Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
