Notes

• Cardinal directions refers to a targets being directly north, south, west, or east of the user. Distance does not factor.
• Panic Ploy applies the  Panic status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the status effect for their first action.
  • Contrary to it's description  Panic does not convert  bonuses into  penalties, it simply changes the value of any existing  bonuses from positive to negative.
  • If the affected unit does not have  bonuses or the affected unit has  Null Panic,  Panic's effect won't work but it can still be used to trigger skills that require a 【Penalty】 such as  Atk/Spd Catch 4 and  Cursed Lance.
