Description [ExpandCollapse]	Enables【Canto (３)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At the start of turn, grants【Gallop】to unit. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 5 + number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3 (max 14), deals damage = 20% of unit's Def (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.	Enables【Canto (３)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At the start of turn, grants【Gallop】to unit. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 5 + number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3 (max 14), deals damage = 20% of unit's Def (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. 【Canto (３)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move ３ space(s). (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.) 【Gallop】 Unit can move 2 extra spaces (that turn only; only highest value applied; does not stack).

Notes[ | ]

【Canto (３)】 will not trigger after an effect that grants "another action" if it has already been triggered that turn or if the unit does not perform an action.
- If 【Canto (３)】 has already been triggered that turn effects such as Forever Yours can re-enable it's usage.
Canto Control will reduce the amount of movement granted by 【Canto (３)】 to 1 space for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces for Range = 2 units.
【Canto (３)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (３)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
- 【Canto (３)】 also takes into account effects that alter a unit's normal movement such as movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Pass effects, Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
- 【Canto (３)】 also takes into account warping effects such as Guidance 4 and Air Orders. However, the distance is limited to the maximum amount of spaces allotted by 【Canto (３)】.
- The movement granted by 【Canto (３)】 is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as Mobility increased, Gallop, Stall, and Gravity.
Holy-War Spear applies the Gallop status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Gallop is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
- Gallop does not stack with Mobility increased, only the highest movement boosting value will be applied.
- Gravity will negate the effects of Gallop.
"If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
The stat increase that can be applied by Holy-War Spear is considered a temporary buff.

The damage boosting effect of Holy-War Spear 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, or Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.

Holy-War Spear 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.
- 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.
- Holy-War Spear will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust or Laguz Friend 4.
