Skill Interaction
Main article: Skill interaction
- The flat damage-reduction effect is a flat -7 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.
- If a an effect such as
- The damage boosting effect of
Reflex 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 damage boosting effect of Reflex calculates the damage boost based on the total damage-reduction from all damage-reduction effects active on the unit including:
- Damage-reduction from ally skills such as
Domain of Ice and 
Caduceus Staff. - Damage-reduction from Divine Vein and terrain effects.
- Flat damage-reduction from effects such as A/S Rival Break and
Pair Up 4. - "Reduces damage to a maximum of 1" effects such as
Gambit: Impregnable Wall Stride 【Style】 and 
Collapsed Star. - "Unit survives with 1 HP" effects such as Miracle and Roy: Of Binding's boosted Special effect.
- Damage-reduction from ally skills such as
- "Unit survives with 1 HP" effects and "Reduces damage to a maximum of 1" effects will affect the calculation of the damage boosting effect = the total damage from the foe's damage (including calculations with specials) -1.
- For example, if a foe triggering Glimmer deals 45 damage, and a an effect such as Miracle or Collapsed Star would be triggered by that foe's attack, the damage boost for the unit's next attack would be 44 damage.
- For example, if a foe triggering
- Damage boosting effects stack additively, similar to flat damage-reduction effects and interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as
