Notes[ | ]

• Dual Ice Mirrors has the same effect as  Distant Counter.

• 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.

• The damage boosting effect of Dual Ice Mirrors ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and 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.
  • Dual Ice Mirrors's damage boosting effect 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  Atk/Spd Excel and  Shield Fighter.
    • "Unit survives with 1 HP" effects such as  Miracle and  Everliving Domain.
  • "Unit survives with 1 HP" 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 skill such as  Miracle or  Everliving Domain would be triggered by that foe's attack, the damage boost for the unit's next attack would be 44 damage.
  • If Dual Ice Mirrors triggers multiple times during combat, all reduced damage is accumulated up to the unit's next attack, and resets to 0 after that attack. If the unit cannot counterattack the damage boosting effect will not trigger.
• Dual Ice Mirrors will neutralize non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as  Vital Astra.
  • Dual Ice Mirrors will not neutralize Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Gust or  Laguz Friend 4.
