If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Reduces damage from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by 80%. Grants weapon-triangle advantage against colorless foes and inflicts weapon-triangle disadvantage on colorless foes during combat. At start of turn, if unit's Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit. If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def/Res = 5 + number of allies within 3 spaces of unit × 3 (max 14; if unit triggers Savior, value is treated as 14), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and after combat, restores 7 HP to unit, and also, if unit's Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit. Grants Atk/Def/Res+4 to allies within 3 spaces during combat and restores 7 HP to those allies after their combat.

Opposing Stones has the same effects as Svalinn Shield and Distant Counter.
When battling a Dragon unit or a unit with Loptous, damage is boosted by 50%.
- Breath of Blight, Eerie Scripture, Snow's Grace, Sublime Surge, and the Neutralize Effective Against Dragons status effect will neutralize the attack increase against Dragon units and units with Loptous.
Opposing Stones neutralizes Armored effective damage.

Opposing Stones will stack with additional and altered weapon-triangle advantages and disadvantages from Duality, Raven tomes, and Time Traveler skills.
Opposing Stones does not boost values alongside an existing weapon-triangle advantage and thus is not affected by effects such as Duality or Cancel Affinity.
See weapon-triangle for more information on weapon triangle advantage effects.
Opposing Stones's cooldown count changing effect will not trigger if the unit is inflicted with False Start, unless False Start is neutralized by a skill such as Dream Deliverer.
Cooldown count changes from skills that activate at the same time as Opposing Stones (at start of turn) are not considered in Opposing Stones's conditions.^[1] Skills such as Infantry Pulse 4, Buffer 4, and Odd Pulse Tie 3 will have their effects stack.
"If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Opposing Stones is considered a temporary debuff.

The healing effect is triggered regardless of whether Opposing Stones's user performs an attack during combat. If foe initiates combat and user cannot counterattack, Opposing Stones's healing effect will still trigger.
Opposing Stones's user needs to survive the combat for the healing effect to trigger.
Opposing Stones's healing effect stacks with skills such as Fury 4, that deal out of combat damage to their owner after combat.
Opposing Stones's after combat healing will not work if the foe has a skill that prevents HP recovery such as Fatal Smoke 4 or Incurable+, or the user has been inflicted with Deep Wounds.
- However, allies unaffected by Deep Wounds will still receive Opposing Stones's healing effect.
Opposing Stones triggers before after combat Specials such as Galeforce and Røkkr AoE Specials.
Cooldown count changes from skills that activate at the same time as Opposing Stones (after combat) are not considered in Opposing Stones's conditions. Skills such as Special Spiral 4, Time's Pulse 4, and Pulse Smog will have their effects stack.
The stat increase that can be applied by Opposing Stones is considered a temporary buff.
The temporary buff effect of Opposing Stones 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.
