Description Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's HP ≥ 50% and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.

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.
  • Shadow Sword does not guarantee the user a follow-up.
  • If the user can perform a follow-up, either by passing the Spd difference check or from guaranteed follow-up effects, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
  • Effects such as Status Effect Vantage Vantage or Status Effect Paranoia Paranoia have priority over Shadow Sword's priority changing effect.
  • Shadow Sword changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as Hardy Bearing 3 Hardy Bearing 3 or Skilliconweapon Caltrop Dagger+.

Notes[ | ]

  • The stat increase that can be applied by refined Shadow Sword is considered a temporary buff.
  • Shadow Sword W Shadow Sword will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Icon Class Red Sword Guard Sword+, Status Effect Guard Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
    • Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Shadow Sword W Shadow Sword will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4 Heavy Blade 4, Status Effect Special Cooldown Charge 1 Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Icon Move Infantry Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
  • The stat decrease that can be applied by Shadow Sword W Shadow Sword is considered a temporary debuff.
