Notes[ | ]

• "If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
  • However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
• Faithful Loyalty does not grant the user the ability to counterattack regardless of foe's range.
• If the user can counterattack, either from using a weapon with the same range as the foe's weapon or from countering skills, the user's counterattack will occur before the foe's initial attack.
• Faithful Loyalty changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Armorpin Dagger+.
  • Only affects  Armored and  Cavalry enemies.

• Effects that are neutralized by Faithful Loyalty:
  • Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as  Windsweep 3,  Watersweep 3, or  Weaving Fighter.
  • Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as  Steady Impact,  Vengeful Fighter 4, or  Foe Cannot Follow-Up.
• The effect is triggered regardless of whether Faithful Loyalty's user performs an attack during combat. If foe initiates combat and user cannot counterattack, Faithful Loyalty's effect will still trigger.
• Faithful Loyalty's user needs to survive the combat for the effect to trigger.
• Faithful Loyalty applies the  Vantage status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Vantage is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

• "If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
  • However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
•  Vantage does not grant the user the ability to counterattack regardless of foe's range.
• If the user can counterattack, either from using a weapon with the same range as the foe's weapon or from countering skills, the user's counterattack will occur before the foe's initial attack.
•  Vantage changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Armorpin Dagger+.
