• When battling a  Flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
  •  Ashera's Chosen,  Dragonscale,  Dragonskin,  Dragoon Shield,  Iote's Shield,  Bushido II,  Gurgurant,  Hel's Reaper,  Pastel Poleaxe, 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.

Notes

• 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+.
  • Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and  Triangle Adept.
    • For example, if both  Spurn 3 and  Vital Astra activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 58% instead of 70%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 30%) = 42% of the original damage.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
•  Deadeye,  Lethality,  Sublime Heaven, and  Twin Blades will neutralize Parthia's damage-reduction effect.
• When used with offensive Specials,  Bow of Frelia,  Lioness Blade,  Thunderer Tome, and  Lands Sword will neutralize Parthia's damage-reduction effect.
•  Adroit War Tome and  Þjálfi can reduce the damage-reduction of Parthia by 50%.
