Notes

• The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Null Pulse Follow is considered a temporary buff.

• The damage boosting effect is a flat +5 damage that 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.
  • 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.
  • A foe using attack damage preventing effects can neutralize damage dealt from the foe's own attacks and the unit's attacks (Units with Umbra Burst weapons will take and deal the minimum 1 damage).
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• The flat damage-reduction effect is a flat -5 damage that 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.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Null Pulse Follow's Special cooldown count reduction that occurs during combat is a flat -2 and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as  Guard,  Special Cooldown Charge +1, and  Tempo Echo.
  • All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
    • For example, if a unit has  Preempt Pulse and  Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will neither increase nor decrease.
• Null Pulse Follow will not neutralize the additional follow-up of Potent Follow effects.
• Follow-up effects that are neutralized by Null Pulse Follow:
  • 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.
