Description	Grants Res+3. Skills with "effective against dragons" are effective against unit. If foe has no skills with "effective against dragons," inflicts Atk-6 on foe during combat.

Notes

• Loptous makes its user weak to sources of effective against dragon foes or units with  Effective against dragons.
  • This means that enemies who can deal effective damage of this type granted such status effect will have their damage boosted by 50%.
    •  Breath of Blight,  Devoted Breath,  Eerie Scripture,  Snow's Grace,  Sublime Surge, and the  Neutralize Effective Against Dragons status effect will neutralize the attack increase against the user.
• The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by Loptous is considered a temporary debuff.
• The temporary debuffs of Loptous does not trigger against units with sources of effective against dragon foes or units with  Effective against dragons.
  • The temporary debuffs of Loptous does not trigger against foes with these effects even if Loptous's user has  Neutralize Effective Against Dragons, as the skill only considers skills that have "effective against dragons", not whether such effectiveness applies.

	—	Grants Res+3. Skills with "effective against dragons" are effective against unit. If foe has no skills with "effective against dragons," inflicts Atk/Res-6 on foe during combat, and also, if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of- effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). At start of turn, if any foe's Res < unit's Res and that foe is adjacent to another foe, inflicts Atk/Res-5 on that foe through its next action. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Res-5 on foe during combat.	400 SP,  500,  200

Notes

• The non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Thorn and  Change of Fate.
  • If 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.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if the damage-reduction effects from both  Dodge and  Archrival trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced only during combat by effects such as  Share Spoils+ or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• The Area-of-effect Special damage-reduction effect is calculated after Area-of-effect Specials and damage boosting effects that trigger before combat such as  Change of Fate and  Dominance.
  • Røkkr area-of-effect Specials will always deal out of combat damage even if the foe is equipped with Invincibility Seals or damage reduction effects.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Spurn 4 trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects that reduce damage from Area-of-effect Specials can be neutralized or reduced only out of combat.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The damage reduction of Loptous does not trigger against units with sources of effective against dragon foes or units with  Effective against dragons.
  • The damage reduction of Loptous does not trigger against foes with these effects even if Loptous's user has  Neutralize Effective Against Dragons, as the skill only considers skills that have "effective against dragons", not whether such effectiveness applies.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Loptous 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.
