Notes

• When battling a  Cavalry unit, damage is boosted by 50%.
  •  Grani's Shield and  Fire Emblem will neutralize the damage boost against  Cavalry units.
• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Thief's Honesty is considered a temporary buff.

• The damage boosting effect of Thief's Honesty 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.
  • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  • A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • A foe equipped with  Invincible Sister will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after it triggers.
  • A foe equipped with  Vengeful God will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except for the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons only once per Phase after  Miracle triggers if that foe's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• The non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Lúin and  Dominance.
  • If a skill such as  Miracle or  Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
  • Umbra Burst weapons will always deal a minimum of 1 damage even if the foe is equipped with  Invincible Sister,  Vengeful God, Invincibility Seals, or damage reduction effects.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced only during combat by effects such as  Share Spoils+ or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Thief's Honesty only neutralizes effects that change the priority, or order of attacks, such as  Desperation,  Vantage, and  Paranoia.
  • Effects such as  Guaranteed follow-ups during combat, which do not change the order, but rather guarantee that an attack will occur in whatever order is natural, are not affected.
• If unit attacked means if the user 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 trigger.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Thief's Honesty is considered a  Penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 effect on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Penalties 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.

Notes

• "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 boost that can be applied during combat by  Thief's Honesty is considered a temporary buff.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Thief's Honesty will activate if the foe receives  Bonuses.
  • The stat increasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the foe receives  Penalties.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Thief's Honesty will stack with the temporary debuffs from  Neutralize Bonuses or sources of bonus neutralization.
  • The stat increasing 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 Bonus effect neutralization.

• The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by  Thief's Honesty is considered a temporary debuff.
  • The stat decreasing effect of  Thief's Honesty 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 Bonus effect neutralization.

• 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.

• The healing effect is triggered regardless of whether  Thief's Honesty's user performs an attack during combat. If foe initiates combat and user cannot counterattack,  Thief's Honesty's healing effect will still trigger.
•  Thief's Honesty's user needs to survive the combat for the healing effect to trigger.
•  Thief's Honesty's healing effect stacks with skills such as  Fury 4, that deal out of combat damage to their owner after combat.
•  Thief's Honesty's after combat healing will not work if the foe has a skill that prevents HP recovery such as  Fatal Smoke 4 or  Incurable+, or the user has been inflicted with  Deep Wounds.
