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 Fell Protection is considered a temporary buff.

• 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.
• Fell Protection's Special cooldown count increase that occurs during combat is a flat +1 and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as  Guard,  Special Cooldown Charge +1, and  Spd/Def Tempo 4.
  • All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
    • For example, if a unit has  Preempt Pulse and  Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will neither increase nor decrease.
• The temporary buffs, damage reduction and Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack of Fell Protection will not apply to the user's allies if the user is inflicted with  Time's Grip, the user's allies are inflicted with  Feud, or the user's allies are in combat against a foe with skills such as  Impenetrable Void and  C Feud 3.
