Override

Name	Cooldown	Description	SP	Required
Override	3	If unit's Special is ready, before combat this unit initiates, foes in an area near target take damage equal to 1.5 × (unit's Atk minus foe's Def or Res). When unit deals damage to 2 or more foes at the same time using a Special (including target; including foes dealt 0 damage), grants another action to unit after combat (once per turn). If unit's or foe's Special is ready or triggered before or during this combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% during combat (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).	500	Blazing Light

Override inflicts out of combat damage.
- Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
- A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
- A foe equipped with Røkkr or a unit with En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Area-of-effect Specials.
Area-of-effect Special damage is affected by Bonuses, Penalties, Area-of-effect Special damage boosting effects such as Dominance and Change of Fate, effects that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res", and effects that disable such effect.
- Exceptions include effects that grant or disable "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" only "during combat", such as Inf. Hexblade 3 and Light and Dark II.
- Area-of-effect Special damage is not affected by "during combat" effects such as Fringe Bonus, Sabotage, Cross Spur Atk, or weapon-triangle advantages.
- Def is chosen if the unit does physical damage. Res is chosen if the unit does magical damage.
- Area-of-effect Special damage, can be reduced by Area-of-effect Special damage-reduction effects such as Arcane Renegade and 【Divine Vein (Stone)】.
- Skills such as Bonded Blades, Queensblade, Sentinel Bow, or Breezy Spear can prevent Override from triggering.

"If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
Both Override and other effects that grant another action to the user can trigger on the same turn.^[1]
- The unit's Special cooldown count is unaffected if Override triggers.
- The priority of effects that grant another action to the user is as follows:

The Special "reduces damage by X%" 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.
- Umbra Burst weapons will always deal a minimum of 1 damage even if the foe is equipped with Invincible Sister, Vengeful God, Invincibility Seals, or damage reduction effects.
- "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 only during combat by effects such as Share Spoils+ or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Override's area-of-effect varies based on the direction that the user is facing when triggering the Special (including diagonally with Range: 2 Style).
