Notes[ | ]

• Aether's Path has the same effect as  Null C-Disrupt 3.

• The Special damage boosting effect of Aether's Path can be reduced by damage-reduction effects such as  Gust,  Atk/Spd Excel, and  Dodge.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom,  Gold Perfection, or  Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials and the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Aether's Path's healing effect will be reduced by 50% if the user is prevented from recovering HP during combat from effects such as  Fatal Smoke 4,  Incurable+, or  Deep Wounds.
  • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect only applies to HP recovery during combat.
    • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect applies to the  Deep Wounds status effect and the "Foe cannot recover HP during or after combat." effect of skills such as  Fatal Smoke 4 and  Incurable+.
    • The 【Deep Wounds】 reduction effect also works for other HP recovery effects during combat, even for effects from allies such as  Breath of Life 4.
• Aether's Path will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as  Guard Sword+,  Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
  • Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Aether's Path 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.
• Effects that are neutralized by Aether's Path:
  • Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's counterattack such as  Windsweep 3 and  Dazzling Shift.
  • Effects active on the user that prevent their counterattack, such as  Firesweep S+ and  Counterattacks disrupted.

• The damage-reduction effect is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as  Arcane Lúin and  Dominance.
  • If a skill such as  Miracle or  Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
  • "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  Gust 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.
  • Special "reduces damage by X%" effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
