Notes[ | ]

Wintery Arts applies the Divinely Inspiring status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Divinely Inspiring is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

The stat increase that can be applied by Divinely Inspiring is considered a temporary buff.
Divinely Inspiring's Special cooldown count reduction that occurs during combat is a flat -X (max: 2) and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as Guard, Special Cooldown Charge +1, and Spd/Def Tempo 4.
- All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
  - For example, if a unit has Preempt Pulse and Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will neither increase nor decrease.
Divinely Inspiring's healing effect will not work if the user is prevented from recovering HP during combat from effects such as Fatal Smoke 4, Incurable+, or Deep Wounds, unless the user has an effect that neutralizes or reduces the effect of Deep Wounds during combat such as Divine Nectar or Breath of Life 4.

Wintery Arts's extra attack is not a follow-up attack nor a change in attack priority.
- Effects such as Foe Cannot Follow-Up and Hardy Bearing 3 do not affect the extra attack.
- If Wintery Arts's user can perform a standard follow-up attack, either by passing the Spd difference check or effects such as Guaranteed Follow-Ups or Quick Riposte 4, the user will be able to attack up to 4 times during combat.
  - Wintery Arts's extra attack does not affect the additional follow-up granted by Potent Follow effects.
  - A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize any effect on Wintery Arts's user that guarantees follow-up attacks.
The stat increase that can be applied by Wintery Arts is considered a temporary buff.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Wintery Arts is considered a temporary debuff.
The "distinct game titles" condition refers to the game title(s) from the "Appears in" section of a unit's description, not their entries.
- For units that appear in multiple games, such as Harmonized heroes, the "distinct game titles" condition will count all game titles.

The damage boosting effect is a flat +X (max: 15) damage that 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.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, Gold Perfection, or Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
The damage-reduction effect is a flat -X (max: 15) damage that is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust and Dodge.
- 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.
- Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- Flat damage-reduction effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Attacks that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" include attacks during combat and area-of-effect Specials.
- Close Ward, Mystic Boost 4, Divine Naga, Indignant Bow, Naga, Spirit Forest Writ, Splashy Bucket, and Splashy Bucket+ will disable this effect.
- Rare Talent, Aureola, Radiant Aureola, and Light and Dark II will disable this effect during combat, but not against area-of-effect Specials.
