Notes[ | ]

Red-Fist Blades's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
- Effects such as Foe Cannot Follow-Up and Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
- If Red-Fist Blades's user can perform a standard follow-up attack, either by passing the Spd difference check or effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups or Quick Riposte 4, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
  - Red-Fist Blades's extra attack does not affect the additional follow-up granted by 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
  - A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize any effect on Red-Fist Blades's user that guarantees follow-up attacks.
The stat increase that can be applied by Red-Fist Blades 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.
Red-Fist Blades applies the Incited status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Incited is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

"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 Incited is considered a temporary buff.
The calculation of "spaces from start position to end position" counts the total number of spaces from the initiator's starting position to the end position before combat.
- The calculation includes spaces occupied by an ally with the 【Pathfinder】 effect.
- The start position used in the calculation references the initiator's starting position after being moved by sources of unit movement such as Reposition.

Red-Fist Blades applies the Special Cooldown Charge +1 status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Special Cooldown Charge +1 is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

The "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both Guard and Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
- If the effect is active, the unit will gain 2 charges from both attacking and being attacked.
If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge +X", only the higher of the two charge increases will apply.
- This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge +1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge +1" effect is active.
Skills such as Spd/Def Tempo 4 and Spendy Scimitar will neutralize effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe.

The stat increase that can be applied by Red-Fist Blades is considered a temporary buff.

The damage boosting effect of Red-Fist Blades 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, Gold Perfection, or Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
The damage-reduction effect is a flat -7 damage that is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust and Dodge.
- 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.
- Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- Flat damage-reduction effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Red-Fist Blades is considered a Penalty.
- Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have Penalties for their first action.
  - If the unit also has Grand Strategy, any Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
