| Deer's Heart | Enables【Canto (Rem.; Min １)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. After Canto (including cases where action is ended due to Canto Control), if unit entered combat on the current turn, grants another action to unit, and re-enables Canto (once per turn; does not trigger when affected by effects of traps in Aether Raids during Canto). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants【Null Follow-Up】and【Preempt Pulse】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 15% of unit's Spd at start of combat + 5, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def, deals +X × 5 damage (X = number of Bonus effects active on unit, excluding stat bonuses + number of Penalty effects active on foe, excluding stat penalties; max 5; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. 【Canto (Rem.; Min １)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move spaces = any movement not already used that turn (min. １; if unit used a movement skill that warped them, unit can move １ space(s)). (Once per turn. Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) 【Null Follow-Up】 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks for 1 turn. 【Preempt Pulse】 Grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. |
| Lady's Bow | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6,【Desperation】, and 【Preempt Pulse】to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = 6 + 20% of unit's Spd at start of combat, deals +7 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 25 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers【Potent Follow X%】 during combat (if unit cannot perform follow-up and attack twice, X = 80; otherwise, X = 40). 【Desperation】 Grants the following effect for 1 turn: "If unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack." 【Preempt Pulse】 Grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. 【Potent Follow X%】 Triggers an additional follow-up attack immediately after unit's standard follow-up attack and deals damage = X% of unit's normal attack damage (if unit cannot make a follow-up attack, this effect triggers when the standard follow-up attack would occur; this effect is treated like a follow-up attack, so effects like "reduce damage by X%" still apply, but this effect is not affected by effects that prevent follow-ups or "attacks twice" effects; only highest value applied; does not stack). |
