Notes[ | ]

The stat increase that can be applied by Death is considered a temporary buff.
If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.

Death inflicts out of combat damage.
- Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, Gold Perfection, or Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
- A foe equipped with Røkkr or a unit with En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Area-of-effect Specials.
Death stacks with out of combat healing from effects such as Essence Drain or Renewal 3.
- For example, if a unit has both Fury and Mystic Boost, Fury 2 + Mystic Boost 1 = -2 HP, Fury 3 + Mystic Boost 3 = 0 HP, and Fury 4 + Mystic Boost 4 = +2 HP.

Notes[ | ]

The stat decrease that can be applied by Death is considered a temporary debuff.
Death can neutralize Bonuses.
- Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
- The Bonus neutralizing effect will be negated if the affected unit has Panic (and doesn't have Null Panic), or has their Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
Warping counts as the unit's move for the turn. The unit can still perform an attack, an Assist, or a structure destruction after warping.
- Warping is unaffected by movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Stall, Gravity, Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
- Warping can be obstructed by warp preventing effects unless the warping unit has a Pass effect, or warps using a camp, a fortress, or sigils.
