Notes

• Holy Gradivus has the same effect as  Distant Counter.
• As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
• A foe with effects such as  Phys. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Holy Gradivus.

Notes

• If an effect that grants "another action" to unit would trigger, (such as with  Galeforce) the extra action will be granted before 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 triggers (excluding effects that grant "another action" after Canto).
  • 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 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 (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 triggers after "after combat" movement effects such as  Repel 4,  Harrowing Call, or Movement Passives.
  • If 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 has already been triggered that turn, Canto re-enabling effects can allow 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 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 (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 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 (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a  Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
  • 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 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 (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 also takes into account status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as  Mobility increased,  Gallop,  Stall, and  Gravity.
    • 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 will have the remaining value be reduced to 1 if the unit was inflicted with  Stall or  Gravity and did not move.
    • The remaining value for 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】 will not be affected if the unit was inflicted with  Stall or  Gravity after combat.
• The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by Refined Holy Gradivus is considered a temporary debuff.
• The flat damage-reduction effect is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Thorn and  Change of Fate, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Archrival and  Dodge.
  • If a an effect such as  Miracle or  Roy: Of Binding's boosted Special effect can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
  • Umbra Burst weapons will always deal a minimum of 1 damage even if the foe uses attack damage preventing effects, Invincibility Seals, or damage reduction effects.
  • Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to damage boosting effects and 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 only during combat by effects such as  Share Spoils+ or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.

    • The 【Style】 button will only disable the  Duo/ Harmonized Skill button until after taking an action.

    • After combat movement effects do not occur.
    • Using Range: 2 【Style】 is counted as attacking from 1 space away for skills such as  Pavise,  Aegis, and Save Passives.
    • When using Range: 2 【Style】, the unit cannot move through spaces within 2 spaces of a foe with movement blocking effects such as  Bulwark or Bulwark Passives (unless unit has a Pass effect or  True Charge).
      • The unit can move through spaces within 2 spaces of a foe with movement blocking effects such as  Obstruct 3, but not adjacent spaces (unless unit has a Pass effect or  True Charge).
    • The unit can be counterattacked by Range = 1  Armored units, units with Countering effects, or if the foe's Range is equal to the spaces from unit to foe.
• The stat increase that can be applied by  Holy Gradivus is considered a  Bonus.

•  Holy Gradivus applies the  Treachery status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 effect on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Treachery is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

    • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • A foe equipped with Invincibility Seals will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.

  • The  Bonus neutralizing effect will be negated if the affected unit has  Panic (and doesn't have  Null Panic), or has their  Bonuses removed by a source of Bonus effect removal.
• A stat comparison made "At start of combat" ignores temporary buffs and temporary debuffs.
  • Temporary buffs and temporary debuffs from skills such as Death Blow and  Rauðrfox+ will not affect the outcome.
  • Only stat boosts outside of combat, such as  Bonuses and  Penalties, will affect the outcome.

• The damage boosting effect of  Holy Gradivus ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage-reduction effects such as  Archrival,  A/S Rival Break, and  Dodge.
  • Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
