Notes

• Paranoia applies the  Null Follow-Up status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Null Follow-Up is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

•  Null Follow-Up will not neutralize the additional follow-up of 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
• Effects that are neutralized by  Null Follow-Up:
  • Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as  Quick Riposte 4,  Guaranteed Follow-Ups, or the Grand Conquests  Cavalry area effect.
  • Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as  Windsweep 3,  Watersweep 3, or  Weaving Fighter.
  • Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as  Steady Impact,  Vengeful Fighter 4, or  Foe Cannot Follow-Up.
• Paranoia applies the  Paranoia status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Paranoia is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

• The Atk+5 that can be applied by  Paranoia is considered a temporary buff.
• "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.
•  Paranoia does not guarantee the user a follow-up.
• If the user can perform a follow-up, either by passing the Spd difference check or from guaranteed follow-up effects, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
• Effects such as  Vantage or  Paranoia have priority over  Paranoia's priority changing effect.
•  Paranoia changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Caltrop Dagger+.
• "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.
•  Paranoia does not grant the user the ability to counterattack regardless of foe's range.
• If the user can counterattack, either from using a weapon with the same range as the foe's weapon or from countering skills, the user's counterattack will occur before the foe's initial attack.
•  Paranoia changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Armorpin Dagger+.
•  Paranoia's enemy phase priority changing effect does not trigger when 【Savior】 is triggered.
• The enemy phase priority changing effect of  Paranoia will activate if the foe receives a 【Penalty】 (excluding  Penalties).
  • The enemy phase priority changing effect will not be negated if the foe receives a 【Bonus】.
  • If the foe does not receive a 【Penalty】 (excluding  Penalties), or has their 【Penalty】 removed by a source of negative status effect neutralization, the enemy phase priority changing effect will be negated.
  • For more information, see Status effects.
• Paranoia 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, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, 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.
• Paranoia inflicts all 【Penalty】 effects on the user to the closest foes within 5 spaces & foes within 2 spaces of those foes.
  • All 【Penalty】 effects granted this way can be removed by sources of negative status effect neutralization.
  • Paranoia can remove all 【Penalty】 effects.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Paranoia is considered a temporary buff.
• Paranoia will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as  Guard Sword+,  Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
  • Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Paranoia will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as  Heavy Blade 4,  Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests  Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
