Skill Interaction

Main article: Skill interaction

• 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.

When a unit has this status effect, an icon is shown on their sprite on the map.
