Notes

• When battling a  Flying unit, damage is boosted by 50%.

• The  Flying effective damage can be neutralized by effects such as  Neutralize Effective Against Flying or  Fire Emblem.

• "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 Budding Bow is considered a temporary buff.
• Budding Bow can prevent the foe from making a standard follow-up attack.
  • As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a standard follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference is used (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
  • Budding Bow will not prevent a unit with a "unit attacks twice" effect from performing the 2 consecutive attacks, but the the unit will not be able to perform a standard follow-up attack.
  • Budding Bow will not prevent the additional follow-up attack of Potent Follow effects.
  • Effects such as  Mag. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the follow-up preventing effect of Budding Bow.
