Notes

• If an effect that grants "another action" to unit would trigger, (such as with  Galeforce) the extra action will be granted before 【Canto (２)】 triggers (excluding effects that grant "another action" after Canto).
  • 【Canto (２)】 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.
  • 【Canto (２)】 triggers after "after combat" movement effects such as  Repel 4,  Harrowing Call, or Movement Passives.
  • If 【Canto (２)】 has already been triggered that turn, Canto re-enabling effects can allow 【Canto (２)】 to trigger again.
  • If an ally has an effect such as  Salvage or  Summer Chilling, the unit can also warp to the ally after triggering Canto regardless of distance restrictions.
•  Canto Control will reduce the amount of movement granted by 【Canto (２)】 to 1 space (or 2 spaces with  Salvage) for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces (or 1 space with  Salvage) for Range = 2 units.
• 【Canto (２)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a  Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (２)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
  • 【Canto (２)】 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 (２)】 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 (２)】.
  • The movement granted by 【Canto (２)】 is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as  Mobility increased,  Gallop,  Stall, and  Gravity.
• The extra attack of Ladyblade is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
  • Effects such as  Foe Cannot Follow-Up and  Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
  • If Ladyblade's user can perform a standard follow-up attack, either by passing the Spd difference check or effects such as  Guaranteed follow-ups during combat or  Quick Riposte 4, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
    • Ladyblade's extra attack does not affect the additional follow-up granted by Potent Follow effects.
    • A foe with effects such as  Phys. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize any effect on Ladyblade's user that guarantees follow-up attacks.
• Attacks that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" include attacks during combat and area-of-effect Specials.

• Sources of effects that disable "calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res":
•  Refined Magic
•  Full Light & Dark
•  Mystic Boost 4
•  A/D Briar P Save
•  S/R Briar M Save
•  Mighty Roar
•  Divine Naga
•  Indignant Bow
•  Naga
•  Splashy Bucket
•  Splashy Bucket+
•  Magic Twin Save

• Sources of effects that disable "calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" only during combat:
•  Close Ward
•  Rare Talent
•  Light and Dark
•  Aureola
•  Radiant Aureola
•  Spirit Forest Writ

Notes

• The damage boosting effect of Refined Ladyblade 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.
  • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom,  Gold Perfection, or  Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • A foe equipped with  Vengeful God will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after  Miracle triggers if that foe's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The stat increase that can be applied by  Ladyblade is considered a  Bonus.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit, including  Bonuses, lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Bonuses are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins.
•  Ladyblade applies the  Neutralize Penalties status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Neutralize Penalties is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

•  Neutralize Penalties can neutralize  Penalties during combat.
  •  Penalties are neutralized by granting temporary buffs of the same amount during combat.
  • Temporary buffs from  Neutralize Penalties do not stack with temporary buffs from effects such as  Grand Strategy and  Atk/Spd Unity, only temporary buffs from  Neutralize Penalties will apply.
•  Ladyblade applies the  Mobility increased status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Mobility increased is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
  •  Mobility increased does not stack with  Gallop, only the highest movement boosting value will be applied.
  •  Gravity and  Stall will negate the effects of Mobility increased.
• A stat comparison made "At start of combat" ignores temporary buffs and temporary debuffs.
  • Temporary buffs and temporary debuffs from skills such as Death Blow and  Rauðrfox+ will not affect the outcome.
  • Only stat boosts outside of combat, such as  Bonuses and  Penalties, will affect the outcome.
• The flat damage-reduction effect is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Lúin and  Dominance, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Gust and  Dodge.
  • If a skill such as  Miracle or  Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
  • Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to damage boosting effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  • Flat damage-reduction effects cannot be neutralized or reduced only during combat by effects such as  Share Spoils+ or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• The healing effect is triggered regardless of whether  Ladyblade's user performs an attack during combat. If foe initiates combat and user cannot counterattack,  Ladyblade's healing effect will still trigger.
•  Ladyblade's user needs to survive the combat for the healing effect to trigger.
•  Ladyblade's healing effect stacks with skills such as  Fury 4, that deal out of combat damage to their owner after combat.
•  Ladyblade's after combat healing will not work if the foe has a skill that prevents HP recovery such as  Fatal Smoke 4 or  Incurable+, or the user has been inflicted with  Deep Wounds.
