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.
  • As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as Status Effect Frozen Frozen).
  • A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow Phys. Null Follow or Status Effect Null Follow-Up Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Dark Spikes Τ.
  • 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 Status Effect Vantage Vantage or Status Effect Paranoia Paranoia have priority over Dark Spikes Τ's priority changing effect.
  • Dark Spikes Τ changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as Hardy Bearing 3 Hardy Bearing 3 or Skilliconweapon Caltrop Dagger+.

Notes[ | ]

  • Only attacks performed by the unit have the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect. This is true regardless of who initiated combat.
  • The "Special cooldown charge +X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect.
    • For example, if a unit is affected by both Status Effect Guard Guard and Status Effect Special Cooldown Charge 1 Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
    • The effects will only stack when the unit attacks and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
    • The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will only take place when the user attacks.
  • If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge +X", only the higher of the two charge increases will apply.
    • This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge +1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge +1" effect is active.
  • Skills such as Spd Def Tempo 4 Spd/Def Tempo 4 and Icon Class Red Sword Spendy Scimitar will neutralize effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe.
