Notes

• Def is chosen if the unit does  Physical damage. Res is chosen if the unit does  Magical damage.
  • Override is affected by skills that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res", as well as skills that disable such effect.
    • Exceptions include skills that grant or disable this effect only "during combat", such as  Inf. Hexblade 3 and  Light and Dark II.
  • Damage dealt "before combat", such as from Override, is affected by  Bonuses,  Penalties,  Dominance, and  Treachery.
    • Damage dealt "before combat", such as from Override, is not affected by "during combat" effects such as  Bonus Doubler,  Foe Penalty Doubler,  Cross Spur Atk, or weapon-triangle advantages.
  • Skills such as  Queensblade,  Sentinel Bow, or  Breezy Spear can prevent Override from triggering.

• Override inflicts out of combat damage.
  • Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
  • A foe equipped with  Røkkr or a unit affected by  En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except area-of-effect Specials.

• "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.
  • 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:

1.  Share Spoils
2. Effects with priority such as  Time Is Light
3. Non-Special effects without priority such as  Lone Wolf or  Override
4. Special effects without priority such as  Galeforce or  Njörun's Zeal II

• 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.
