Shadow Slide

Type	Icon	Name	SP	Required	Description
B		Shadow Slide	300	—	Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any ally that has entered combat during the current turn. Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any ally within 2 spaces. If ally has entered combat during the current turn, unit can move through foes' spaces. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

* Unused restrictions: No restrictions.

Notes[ | ]

Warping counts as the unit's move for the turn. The unit can still perform an attack, an Assist, or a structure destruction after warping.
- Warping is unaffected by movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Stall, Gravity, Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
- Warping can be obstructed by warp preventing effects unless the warping unit has a Pass effect, or warps using a camp, a fortress, or sigils.
Units with Shadow Slide will ignore the effects of warp preventing effects and movement preventing effects.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Shadow Slide is considered a temporary debuff.

The damage boosting effect of Shadow Slide 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, or Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Shadow Slide will reduce the effect of non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as Vital Astra.
- damage-reduction reducing effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  - For example, if a unit has Halves non-Special damage reduction and a foe with Dodge is on a space with 【Divine Vein (Water)】, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 10%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − ((40% − 50%) − 50%)) = 90% of the original damage instead of 60% of the original damage.
- Each damage-reduction effect is reduced individually.
  - For example, if a unit has Halves non-Special damage reduction and the foe has both Spurn 4 and Dodge, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 40%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − (50% − 50%)) × (1 − (40% − 50%)) = 60% of the original damage instead of 30% of the original damage.
- Shadow Slide will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust or Laguz Friend 4.
- 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.
