Description	Effective against flying foes. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat and unit deals +7 damage.

Notes[ | ]

The stat increase that can be applied by Snide Bow is considered a temporary buff.

The damage boosting effect is a flat +7 damage that 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, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, 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.

—	Effective against flying foes. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat and unit deals +7 damage. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe during combat and inflicts penalty on foe's Spd/Def during combat = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2. (Example: if foe has +7 bonus to Spd, inflicts Spd-19, for a net penalty of Spd-12.) Calculates each stat penalty independently.	400 SP, 500, 200

"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.

The stat decrease that can be applied by Snide Bow is considered a temporary debuff.
- The stat decreasing effect of Snide Bow will activate if the foe receives Bonuses.
- The stat decreasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the foe receives Penalties.
- The stat decreasing effect will be negated if the foe is affected by Panic (and not affected by Null Panic), or the foe has their Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
