Notes[ | ]
- The stat decrease that can be applied by Spd Preempt is considered a temporary debuff.
- Magic refers to
.
- "If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
- Spd Preempt does not grant the user the ability to counterattack regardless of foe's range.
- If the user can counterattack, either from using a weapon with the same range as the foe's weapon or from countering skills, the user's counterattack will occur before the foe's initial attack.
- Spd Preempt changes the attack priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be disabled by skills such as Hardy Bearing 3 or Dragonslasher+.
- Spd Preempt's priority changing effect does not trigger when 【Savior】 is triggered.
