| Description | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, deals damage = 70% of difference between stats. (Maximum bonus of +7 damage. Combos with Phantom Spd.) |
Notes[]
- The maximum Spd difference that matters for Vassal's Blade's damage bonus is 10, due to Vassal's Blade's cap of 7 bonus damage.
- The minimum Spd difference that matters for Vassal's Blade's damage bonus is 2, which provides 1 bonus damage.
- The bonus damage from Vassal's Blade is applied after other effects, and is thus not boosted by specials such as
Glimmer or Astra. - With Phantom Spd 3, Vassal's Blade will deal extra damage if the user would otherwise have equal or less Res than the target.
- This effect stops when the user is regularly 9 Spd slower than the target, as a 1-Spd advantage rounds down to zero damage.

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.
- The stat increase that can be applied by Vassal's Blade is considered a combat boost.
- Effects that are disabled by Vassal's Blade:
