Description	If unit's HP ≤ 75% and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack. After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts Def/Res-7 on target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions.

Notes

• Has the same effect as  Desperation 3.

• 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.

• Starfish+ does not guarantee the user a follow-up attack.
• If the user can perform a follow-up attack, either by a speed check or skill such as  Brash Assault 3, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
• Skills such as  Vantage 3 and the  Vantage status effect have priority over the Starfish+'s priority changing effect.
• Starfish+ changes the attack priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be disabled by skills such as  Hardy Bearing 3.
• If unit attacked means if the wielder attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
  • This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not activate.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Starfish+ is considered a  penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit, including  penalties, lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the penalty for their first action.
    • If the unit also has  Grand Strategy, any  penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
