Notes[]

"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 Instant Axe+ is considered a temporary buff.
Instant Axe+ 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).
- Instant Axe+ 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.
- Instant Axe+ will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of Potent Follow effects.
- Effects such as Mag. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of Instant Axe+.
