At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Spd-5 on foe and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (example: a foe with a "reduce damage by 45%" skill would reduce damage by 23% instead).

Notes[ | ]

• Soul of Zofia the same effects as  Null Follow-Up 3 and  Desperation 3.

• Soul of Zofia will not neutralize the additional follow-up of Potent Follow effects.
• Effects that are neutralized by Soul of Zofia:
  • Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as  Quick Riposte 4,  Guaranteed Follow-Ups, or the Grand Conquests  Cavalry area effect.
  • 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.

• "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.
• Soul of Zofia does not guarantee the user a follow-up.
• If the user can perform a follow-up, either by passing the Spd difference check or from guaranteed follow-up effects, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack.
• Effects such as  Vantage or  Paranoia have priority over Soul of Zofia's priority changing effect.
• Soul of Zofia changes the priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be neutralized by effects such as  Hardy Bearing 3 or  Caltrop Dagger+.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Soul of Zofia II is considered a temporary debuff.
• Soul of Zofia II will reduce the effect of non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects from Specials such as  Vital Astra.
  • Damage-reduction reducing effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if a unit has  Halves non-Special damage reduction and a foe with  Dodge is on a space with 【Divine Vein (Water)】, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 10%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − ((40% − 50%) − 50%)) = 90% of the original damage instead of 60% of the original damage.
  • Each damage-reduction effect is reduced individually.
    • For example, if a unit has  Halves non-Special damage reduction and the foe has both  Spurn 4 and  Dodge, the maximum total damage-reduction is reduced to 40%, since the two effects reduce the damage to (1 − (50% − 50%)) × (1 − (40% − 50%)) = 60% of the original damage instead of 30% of the original damage.
  • Soul of Zofia II will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as  Gust or  Laguz Friend 4.
