Exclusive?	Yes
String ID	`SID_戦神の鋭剣`
Numeric ID	`3026`
Description	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If a skill compares unit's Spd to a foe's or ally's Spd, treats unit's Spd as if granted +10. At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants【Null Follow-Up】and【Dodge】to unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat. 【Null Follow-Up】 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks for 1 turn. 【Dodge】 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%).

Notes[]

Has the same effect as Phantom Spd 3.
Skills that select units based on stats, such as Chill Atk/Spd 2, directly select the unit with the appropriate stat; they do not compare the team's units pairwise to decide which unit has the highest or lowest stat.
Sharp War Sword stacks with other skills that treats unit's Spd as if granted by a certain amount.
- For example, if both Sharp War Sword and Phantom Spd 3's effects trigger the unit with both skills will have their Spd treated as if granted +20.

Sharp War Sword applies the Null Follow-Up status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Null Follow-Up is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

Effects that are disabled by Null Follow-Up:
- Effects on a foe that guarantee their follow-up attacks, from skills such as Quick Riposte 3, Black Eagle Rule, status effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups, and the Grand Conquests Cavalry area effect.
- Effects from skills on the user that prevent their follow-up attacks, from skills such as Windsweep 3 and Watersweep 3
- Effects from skills on a foe that prevent their follow-up attacks, from skills such as Steady Impact, Swordbreaker 3, Adult (Cavalry), and status effects such as Foe Cannot Follow-Up.

Sharp War Sword 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 is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as Wo Dao+.
- Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and Triangle Adept.
  - For example, if both Spurn 3 and Vital Astra activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 58% instead of 70%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 30%) = 42% of the original damage.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Deadeye, Lethality, Sublime Heaven, and Twin Blades will neutralize Dodge's damage-reduction effect.
When used with offensive Specials, Bow of Frelia, Lioness Blade, Thunderer Tome, and Lands Sword will neutralize Dodge's damage-reduction effect.
Adroit War Tome and Þjálfi can reduce the damage-reduction of Dodge by 50%.

If unit initiates combat means if the user starts combat on their turn. 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.
The stat increase that can be applied by Sharp War Sword is considered a combat boost.
