Description	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit (X = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat, - 4; min 5, max 14), deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack) during combat. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Monarch's Stone is considered a temporary buff.
• 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 damage boosting effect of Monarch's Stone 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.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• The damage-reduction effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Lúin and  Dominance.
  • 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.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• 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.
• Attacks that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" include attacks during combat and area-of-effect Specials.
  •  Close Ward,  Mystic Boost 4,  Divine Naga,  Naga,  Spirit Forest Writ,  Splashy Bucket, and  Splashy Bucket+ will disable this effect.
  •  Rare Talent,  Aureola,  Radiant Aureola, and  Light and Dark II will disable this effect during combat, but not against area-of-effect Specials.
