Description	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, deals damage = X% of unit's Spd (X = the number of foes within 3 spaces of target, including target, × 10) during combat (Excluding area-of-effect Specials; max 30%.), and reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = the number of foes within 3 spaces of target, including target, × 20 (max 60%). At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, unit can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.) If unit transforms, grants Atk+2.

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.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Fang of Finality is considered a temporary buff.

• Effects that are neutralized by Fang of Finality:
  • 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 damage boosting effect of Fang of Finality 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, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• 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.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.

• When equipped with skills such as  Beast or Beast Passives, a Beast unit will transform out of combat on turn 1 regardless of whether the transformation conditions of the user's weapon are met.
  • Skills such as  Beast or Beast Passives will also keep the unit from reverting from their Beast form.
• Fang of Finality applies the  Mobility increased status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Mobility increased is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
  •  Mobility increased does not stack with  Gallop, only the highest movement boosting value will be applied.
  •  Gravity and  Stall will negate the effects of Mobility increased.
• The Atk+2 granted by Fang of Finality when the user transforms is considered a stat boost, not a 【Bonus】 effect.
• "If unit transforms" refers to out of combat transformations of Beast units. Transformations during combat will not trigger the  Mobility increased and stat boosting effects.
  • However, if the effect(s) apply after combat, the unit must also survive combat to fulfill this condition.
