Notes[ | ]

• Cardinal directions refers to spaces directly north, south, east, or west of the user. Distance does not factor.
• The calculation of "distance from unit to foe" counts the total number of spaces between the the unit and the foe.
  • The calculation includes spaces occupied by an ally with the 【Pathfinder】 effect.
• Future-Sighted can end the foe's action.
  • Future-Sighted triggers after start-of-turn effects and is unaffected by  False Start.
  • Action ending effects from skills or  After Start-of-Turn Skills Trigger, Action Ends Immediately can be neutralized by effects such as  Firm Canto Curb.
• Future-Sighted applies the  Time's Grip status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Time's Grip for their first action.

• The Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 that can be applied by  Time's Grip is considered a temporary debuff.
• The ally combat effect neutralization of  Time's Grip only activates during combat involving the unit's allies. It has no effect if the unit's allies are neither the attacker nor the defender of the combat.
  • The ally combat effect neutralization of  Time's Grip does not prevent 【Savior】 from being triggered, because 【Savior】 is not a during combat effect.
  • The ally combat effect neutralization of  Time's Grip does not neutralize effects granted to support partners during combat such as  Renewed Fang and  Dragon Blast.
• The stat increase that can be applied by Future-Sighted is considered a temporary buff.
• As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that alter the Spd difference such as  Frozen).
• A foe with effects such as  Phys. Null Follow or  Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Future-Sighted.

• 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.
