Weapon type
Might	12
Range	2
Required	Melancholy
SP	300
Exclusive?	No
String ID	SID_メランコリー＋
Description	After combat, if unit attacked, resets Special cooldown of target and foes within 2 spaces of target, and inflicts【Guard】on target and foes within 2 spaces of target. (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 wielder 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 activate.
• 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 the status effect for their first action.

• If a foe has a "Special cooldown charge +X" effect and a unit has a "Special cooldown charge -X" effect, the effects will stack.
  • For example, if a unit with  Guard Sword+ attacks an enemy with  Steady Breath, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
• If used alongside a skill that also inflicts "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
  • This means that if a unit has "Special cooldown charge -1" and "Special cooldown charge -1" from two different skills, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" is active.
• Skills such as  Creator Sword and  Spendy Scimitar will neutralize any effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.

Notes

• The upgraded version of Melancholy+ has the same effect as  Wrathful Staff 3 or  Dazzling Staff 3.
• Melancholy+ allows the unit to deal staff damage like other weapons instead of halving damage after defenses are calculated, rounded down.
  •  Mystic Boost 3,  Splashy Bucket, and  Splashy Bucket+ on the foe will disable this effect.

• Melancholy+ can prevent the foe from counterattacking.
  • A foe with  Null C-Disrupt 3 may be able to counterattack.
  • A unit with  Nifl's Bite will only able to counterattack the unit if the unit is  ranged.
