Notes
- Attacks that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" include attacks during combat and area-of-effect Specials.
- Effects such as Hexblade can be disabled by effects such as
Physical Twin Save or 
Magic Twin Save.
- Effects such as
- Sources of effects that disable "calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" only during combat:
- "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 Ice Dagger is considered a temporary buff.
- 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 Ice Dagger. - Ice Dagger 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.
- For example, if a unit has
- 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.
- For example, if a unit has
- Ice Dagger will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects or flat damage-reduction effects such as Archrival or
Pair Up 4. - For more information, see Damage calculation.
- Damage-reduction reducing effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as
If unit attacked
means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
- The stat decrease that can be applied by Ice Dagger 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.
- If the unit also has
- 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
