Notes

• Severance applies the  Undefended status effect.
  • 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  Undefended for their first action.

•  Undefended will prevent the unit from being targeted by 【Savior】.
• Severance applies the  Feud status effect.
  • 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  Feud for their first action.

• The ally combat effect neutralization of  Feud only activates during combat involving the unit. It has no effect if the unit is neither the attacker nor the defender of the combat.
  • The ally combat effect neutralization of  Feud does neutralize after combat effects such as  Noble Bow's HP recovery prevention.
  • The ally combat effect neutralization of  Feud does not prevent 【Savior】 from being triggered, because 【Savior】 is not a during combat effect.
  • The ally combat effect neutralization of  Feud does not neutralize effects granted to support partners during combat such as  Renewed Fang and  Dragon Blast.
• Severance can remove all 【Penalty】 effects.
• Severance applies the  Dodge status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Dodge is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
  • 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.
