| Description | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk+6 to unit and inflicts Atk-6 on foe during combat, and also grants the following effects based on the number of allies within 3 spaces: if ≥ 1 ally, if unit has weapon-triangle advantage or if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice; and if ≥ 2 allies, reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%; and if ≥ 3 allies, foe cannot make a follow-up attack. At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2, deals +7 damage when Special triggers, and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. |
Notes[ | ]
- "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.
- The stat increase that can be applied by Heralding Horn is considered a temporary buff.
- The stat decrease that can be applied by Heralding Horn is considered a temporary debuff.
- Heralding Horn's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
- Effects such as
Foe Cannot Follow-Up and Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack. - If Heralding Horn's user can perform a standard follow-up attack, either by passing the Spd difference check or effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups or Quick Riposte 4, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
- Heralding Horn's extra attack does not affect the additional follow-up granted by 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
- A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize any effect on Heralding Horn's user that guarantees follow-up attacks.
- Effects such as
- The damage-reduction effect 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.
- "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
- If a skill such as
- Heralding Horn 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).
- Heralding Horn 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.
- Heralding Horn 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 Heralding Horn.
- 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
- When equipped with skills such as Beast or Beast Passives, a Beast unit will transform out of combat on turn 1 regardless of whether the transformation conditions of the user's weapon are met.
- Skills such as Beast or Beast Passives will also keep the unit from reverting from their Beast form.
- Skills such as
- The Atk+2 granted by Heralding Horn when the user transforms is considered a stat boost, not a 【Bonus】 effect.
- The Special damage boosting effect is a flat +7 damage that 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.
- A foe equipped with
- Heralding Horn will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Heralding Horn will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Heralding Horn will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as
- Heralding Horn will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on foes from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will be neutralized on foes, Heralding Horn will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect inflicted on the foe from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will be neutralized on foes, Heralding Horn will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect inflicted on the foe from effects such as
- "If unit transforms" refers to out of combat transformations of Beast units. Transformations during combat will not trigger the stat boost, Special damage boost, and cooldown charge neutralization effects.
- However, if the effect(s) apply after combat, the unit must also survive combat to fulfill this condition.
