| Description | Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's HP ≥ 50% and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack. |
Notes
- "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.
- Shadow Sword does not guarantee the user a follow-up.
- If the user can perform a follow-up, either by passing the Spd difference check or from guaranteed follow-up effects, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
- Effects such as Vantage or Paranoia have priority over Shadow Sword's priority changing effect.
- Shadow Sword changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as Hardy Bearing 3 or Ostian Backbone.

Notes
- The stat boost that can be applied during combat by refined Shadow Sword is considered a temporary buff.
- Shadow Sword will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Vert)】.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Shadow Sword will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
- The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by Shadow Sword is considered a temporary debuff.
