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.

• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Failnaught is considered a temporary buff.
• Failnaught will not neutralize the additional follow-up of Potent Follow effects.
• Follow-up effects that are neutralized by Failnaught:
  • Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as  Quick Riposte 4,  Guaranteed follow-ups during combat, or the Grand Conquests  Cavalry area effect.
  • Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as  Windsweep 3,  Watersweep 3, or  Weaving Fighter.
  • Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as  Steady Impact,  Vengeful Fighter 4, or  Foe Cannot Follow-Up.

Notes

• The stat decrease that can be applied by Refined Failnaught 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.
• Refined Failnaught applies the  Guard status effect.
  • 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  Guard for their first action.

• 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 used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions 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 inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
• Refined Failnaught applies the  Sabotage status effect.
  • 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  Sabotage for their first action.
  • The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by  Sabotage is considered a temporary debuff.
    • The stat decreasing effect of  Sabotage will activate if the affected unit or it's allies within 2 spaces receive  Penalties.
    • The stat decreasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the affected unit or it's allies within 2 spaces receive  Bonuses.
    • If the affected unit or it's allies within 2 spaces are affected by  Panic (and not affected by  Null Panic),  Sabotage will utilize the total  Penalty within each stat during calculation.^[1]
    • The stat decreasing effect of  Sabotage will stack with the temporary buffs from  Neutralize Penalties or sources of penalty neutralization.
    • The stat decreasing effect will be negated if the affected unit or it's allies within 2 spaces have their  Penalties removed by a source of Penalty effect removal.

• If an effect that grants "another action" to unit would trigger, (such as with  Galeforce) the extra action will be granted before 【Canto (１)】 triggers (excluding effects that grant "another action" after Canto).
  • 【Canto (１)】 will not trigger after an effect that grants "another action" if it has already been triggered that turn or if the unit does not perform an action.
  • 【Canto (１)】 triggers after "after combat" movement effects such as  Repel 4,  Harrowing Call, or Movement Passives.
  • If 【Canto (１)】 has already been triggered that turn, Canto re-enabling effects can allow 【Canto (１)】 to trigger again.
  • If an ally has an effect such as  Demonic Tome,  Salvage, or  Summer Chilling; the unit can also warp to the ally after triggering Canto regardless of distance restrictions.
•  Canto Control will reduce the amount of movement granted by 【Canto (１)】 to 1 space (or 2 spaces with  Salvage) for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces (or 1 space with  Salvage) for Range = 2 units.
• 【Canto (１)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a  Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (１)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
  • 【Canto (１)】 also takes into account effects that alter a unit's normal movement such as movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Pass effects,  True Charge,  Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
  • 【Canto (１)】 also takes into account warping effects such as  Guidance 4 and  Air Orders. However, the distance is limited to the maximum amount of spaces allotted by 【Canto (１)】.
  • The movement granted by 【Canto (１)】 is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as  Mobility increased,  Gallop,  Stall, and  Gravity.
• The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by  Failnaught is considered a temporary debuff.
• The temporary debuffs of  Failnaught will not apply if an ally enters combat and the user is inflicted with  Time's Grip, the ally is inflicted with  Feud, or the ally is in combat against a foe with skills such as  Impenetrable Void and  C Feud 3.
• Failnaught will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as  Guard Sword+,  Guard, or  【Divine Vein (Vert)】.
  • Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Failnaught will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as  Heavy Blade 4,  Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests  Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
•  Failnaught will reduce the effect of non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as  Vital Astra.
  • Damage-reduction reducing effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if a unit has  Halves non-Special damage reduction and a foe with  Dodge is on a space with  【Divine Vein (Water)】, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 10%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − ((40% − 50%) − 50%)) = 90% of the original damage instead of 60% of the original damage.
  • Each damage-reduction effect is reduced individually.
    • For example, if a unit has  Halves non-Special damage reduction and the foe has both  Spurn 4 and  Dodge, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 40%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − (50% − 50%)) × (1 − (40% − 50%)) = 60% of the original damage instead of 30% of the original damage.
  •  Failnaught will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects or flat damage-reduction effects such as  Archrival or  Pair Up 4.
