Notes

• "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.
• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Steady Breath is considered a temporary buff.

• The "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect.
  • For example, if a unit is affected by both  Guard and  Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
  • If the effect is active, the unit will gain 2 charges from both attacking and being attacked.
• If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge +X", only the higher of the two charge increases will apply.
  • This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge +1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge +1" effect is active.
• Skills such as  Tempo Echo and  Arcane Þrima will neutralize effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe.
