Notes

• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Refined Light of Dawn is considered a temporary buff.
• The temporary buffs of Refined Light of Dawn will activate if the foe receives a 【Penalty】 effect.
  • The temporary buffs will not be negated if the foe receives a 【Bonus】 effect.
  • If the foe does not receive a 【Penalty】 effect, or has their 【Penalty】 effect removed by a source of Penalty effect neutralization, the temporary buffs will be negated.
  • For more information, see Status effects.
• As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
• A foe with effects such as  Phys. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by  Light of Dawn.
