Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Plegian War Axe is considered a  Bonus.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit, including  Bonuses, lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Bonuses are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins.
• Plegian War Axe applies the  Foe Cannot Follow-Up status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Foe Cannot Follow-Up is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

•  Foe Cannot Follow-Up can prevent the foe from making a standard follow-up attack.
  • As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a standard follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference is used (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
  •  Foe Cannot Follow-Up will not prevent a unit with a "unit attacks twice" effect from performing the 2 consecutive attacks, but the the unit will not be able to perform a standard follow-up attack.
  •  Foe Cannot Follow-Up will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
  • Effects such as  Mag. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of  Foe Cannot Follow-Up.
• "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.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Plegian War Axe is considered a temporary buff.
• As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
• A foe with effects such as  Phys. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Plegian War Axe.

Notes

• The damage boosting effect of  Plegian War Axe is not affected by the weapon-triangle, and includes the increased Atk from skills like  Blárblade+ in its calculations.
• The damage boosting effect of  Plegian War Axe ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage-reduction effects such as  Gust,  Atk/Spd Excel, and  Dodge.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• 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.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
