Description [ExpandCollapse]	After combat, if unit attacked, resets Special cooldown of foe, and inflicts【Guard】on foe. (Neutralizes Special cooldown count reductions after combat, but skills that Accelerate and Slow Special are still effective.)	After combat, if unit attacked, resets Special cooldown of foe, and inflicts【Guard】on foe. (Neutralizes Special cooldown count reductions after combat, but skills that Accelerate and Slow Special are still effective.) 【Guard】 Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on target per attack during combat through its next action. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Notes

• If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
  • This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
• Melancholy applies the  Guard status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Guard for their first action.

• The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect.
  • For example, if a unit is affected by both  Guard and  Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
• If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
  • This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge -1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" effect is active.
• Skills such as  Spd/Def Tempo 4 and  Whirling Grace will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
• The "resets Special cooldown" effect of Melancholy works by inflicting Special cooldown count+99 on the foe. (Cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown.)
• Melancholy triggers before after combat Specials such as  Galeforce and Røkkr AoE Specials.
• Cooldown count changes from skills that activate at the same time as Melancholy (after combat) are not considered in Melancholy's conditions. Skills such as  Special Spiral 4,  Time's Pulse 4, and  Pulse Smog will have their effects stack.
