Notes[ | ]

• 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.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Magic Gambit 4 is considered a temporary debuff.

• The damage boosting effect of Magic Gambit 4 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.
