Notes[]

Has the same effect as Warding Blow 2.
When battling a Flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
- Dragonskin II, Dragonscale, Iote's Shield, Dragoon Shield, Ashera's Chosen, Bushido, Gurgurant, Hel's Reaper, and the Neutralize Effective Against Flying status effect will neutralize the attack increase against flying units.
The stat increase that can be applied by Parthia is considered a combat boost.

Can be upgraded in the Weapon Refinery. For a list of other such weapons, see list of upgradable weapons.

The stat increase that can be applied by Parthia is considered a combat boost.
The damage reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as Wo Dao+.
- Damage reductions by percentage stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and Triangle Adept.
  - For example, if both Urvan and Deflect Magic 1 activate, the total damage reduction is 86% instead of 110%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 80%) × (1 − 30%) = 14% of the original.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Deadeye, Lethality, Sublime Heaven, Twin Blades, and Bow of Frelia and Lioness Blade with offensive Specials will neutralize Parthia's damage reduction effect when the special triggers.
Þjálfi will reduce the damage reduction of Parthia by 50%.
