【Savior】
Unit takes ally's space, enters combat in ally's place, and receives all after-combat effects.

Savior will not trigger if ally is on terrain that unit cannot move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects do not occur.

Notes[ | ]

  • Higher Ground can prevent foes from warping.
    • The movement granted by Status Effect Charge Charge and warping Canto effects are treated the same way as warping effects, and can thus be obstructed by Higher Ground.
    • Foes using a Pass effect, a camp, a fortress, or sigils will still be able to warp.
  • Higher Ground does not affect foes with a Pass effect or sources of unit movement.
    • If Skilliconassist Smite could move an ally 2 spaces away, it always does so regardless of whether a foe with Higher Ground is adjacent to the space in the middle.
    • A unit can attack a foe with Higher Ground and then leave the space with Hit and Run Hit and Run, Close Call 4 Close Call 4, or a Canto effect.
  • "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.
  • 【Savior】 is triggered after "before combat AoE" skills.
  • 【Savior】 will not protect the user's allies who are inflicted with Status Effect Undefended Undefended or are in combat against a foe with skills such as Erosion Erosion.
  • Effects such as Impenetrable Void Impenetrable Void and Status Effect Feud Feud will not disable 【Savior】.
  • If 【Savior】 is triggered:
    • The user is considered as adjacent to the targeted ally, which means skills that have the "If unit is adjacent to an ally" condition trigger, while skills that have the "If unit is not adjacent to an ally" condition do not trigger.
    • The user will not be able to trigger the effects of skills such as Might of Myriads Might of Myriads, or priority changing effects such as Spd Preempt 3 Spd Preempt 3 and Status Effect Paranoia Paranoia.
    • Only during combat skills that are active on the targeted ally will be accounted on the user.
    • "After combat" movement is disabled on the foe, even if the user is defeated, such as with the movement from Lunge Lunge and Repel 4 Repel 4.
    • The targeted ally is unaffected by "after combat" effects, such as from Icon Class Colorless Staff Pain+ and Fatal Smoke 4 Fatal Smoke 4.
  • The stat increase that can be applied by Higher Ground is considered a temporary buff.
    • Effects such as Impenetrable Void Impenetrable Void and Status Effect Feud Feud will not disable Higher Ground's temporary buffs but will still disable other ally skills from activating.
