Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Def/Res Pledge is considered a  Bonus.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit, including  Bonuses, lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Bonuses are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins.
• Def/Res Pledge applies the  Special Cooldown Charge +1 status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Special Cooldown Charge +1 is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

• 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 stat boost that can be applied during combat by Def/Res Pledge is considered a temporary buff.
