Notes

• When battling a  Flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
  • Sources of  Flying effectiveness neutralization:
  •  Ashera's Chosen
  •  Dragonscale
  •  Dragonskin
  •  Dragoon Shield
  •  Iote's Shield
  •  Bushido II
  •  Gurgurant
  •  Heired Gungnir
  •  Hel's Reaper
  •  Pastel Poleaxe
  •  Tempest's Claw
  •  Thracia Kinglance
  •  Neutralize Effective Against Flying

• "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 Bow+ is considered a temporary buff.
• Instant Bow+ 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 increase the Spd difference such as  Wyvern Rift).
  • Instant Bow+ 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 Bow+ will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of 【Potent Follow X%】.
  • A foe with effects such as  Mag. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of Instant Bow+.
