Notes

• Moonless Breath the same effect as  Distant Counter.
• Moonless Breath's healing effect will not work if the user is prevented from recovering HP during combat from effects such as  Fatal Smoke 4,  Incurable+, or  Deep Wounds, unless the user has an effect that neutralizes or reduces the effect of  Deep Wounds during combat such as  Divine Nectar or  Breath of Life 4.
• 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.

Notes

• The stat decrease that can be applied by Refined Moonless Breath is considered a temporary debuff.
• Refined Moonless Breath's healing effect will be reduced by 50% if the user is prevented from recovering HP during combat from effects such as  Fatal Smoke 4,  Incurable+, or  Deep Wounds.
  • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect only applies to HP recovery during combat.
    • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect applies to the  Deep Wounds status effect and the "Foe cannot recover HP during or after combat." effect of skills such as  Fatal Smoke 4 and  Incurable+.
    • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect also works for other HP recovery effects during combat, even for effects from allies such as  Breath of Life 4.

• The damage boosting effect is a flat +10 damage that 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.
• Refined Moonless Breath will neutralize non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as  Vital Astra.
  • Refined Moonless Breath will not neutralize Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Gust or  Laguz Friend 4.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The stat increase that can be applied by File:Moonless Breath W.png Moonless Breath is considered a temporary buff.
• The temporary buffs of File:Moonless Breath W.png Moonless Breath will not apply to the user's allies if the user is inflicted with  Time's Grip, the user's allies are inflicted with  Feud, or the user's allies are in combat against a foe with skills such as  Impenetrable Void and  C Feud 3.
• File:Moonless Breath W.png Moonless Breath's Special cooldown count increase that occurs during combat is a flat +1 and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as  Guard,  Special Cooldown Charge +1, and  Spd/Def Tempo 4.
  • All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
    • For example, if a unit with Special trigger acceleration has  Rally Spectrum and  Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will not increase or decrease.

• 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.
  • Special "reduces damage by X%" effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
