| Weapon | Description |
|---|---|
| Light of Etruria | Grants Res+3. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Spd/Res+6 and【Hexblade】to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn, and also, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts Atk/Spd-7,【Guard】, and 【Exposure】on those foes through their next actions. If foe initiates combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd during combat = 6 + 20% of unit's Res at start of combat, and also, if unit's HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP (once per combat; does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce HP to 0). 【Hexblade】 Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat). 【Guard】 Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on target per attack during combat through its next action. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) 【Exposure】 Foe's attacks deal +10 damage. |
| Nabata Lance+ | At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants "unit cannot be slowed by terrain (does not apply to impassable terrain)" and 【Hexblade】to unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and deals damage = 10% of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials). 【Hexblade】 Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat). |
| Nabata Lance | |
| New Year Fang | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of player phase or enemy phase, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+6,【Hexblade】, 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 and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is transformed or unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, deals damage to foe = 25% of foe's max HP as combat begins (activates only when unit can attack in combat; only highest value applied; does not stack with other "deals X damage as combat begins" effects; effects that reduce damage during combat do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1; excluding certain foes, such as Røkkr). If unit is transformed or unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def = 6 + 20% of unit's Def at start of combat, any "reduces damage by X%" effect that can be triggered only once per combat by unit's equipped Special skill can be triggered up to twice per combat (excludes boosted Special effects from engaging; only highest value applied; does not stack), deals damage = 30% of foe's max HP (excluding area-of-effect Specials; excluding certain foes, such as Røkkr), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by X during combat (X = total damage dealt to foe; min 10; max 20; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage from foe's attacks by an additional X (excluding area-of-effect Specials). 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, and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. 【Hexblade】 Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat). |
| Niðavellir Ballista | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. Enables【Canto (Dist. +1; Max ４)】 during turns 1 through 4. At the start of turns 1 through 4, grants Special cooldown count-3 to unit, grants Special cooldown count-1 to allies within 2 spaces of unit (excluding unit), and grants 【Hexblade】to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = 20% of unit's Spd at start of combat, unit deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max ４)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move spaces = number of spaces from start position to end position of unit before the above, +1. (Max ４.) (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.) 【Hexblade】 Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat). |

Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance). |
