Notes

• "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.

• refined Sable Lance will not neutralize the additional follow-up of 【Potent Follow X%】 or 【Potent Follow 100%】.
• Effects that are neutralized by refined Sable Lance:
  • Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as  Quick Riposte 4,  Guaranteed Follow-Ups, or the Grand Conquests  Cavalry area effect.
  • Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as  Windsweep 3,  Watersweep 3, or  Weaving Fighter.
  • Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as  Steady Impact,  Vengeful Fighter 4, or  Foe Cannot Follow-Up.
• 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.

• 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.
