Notes[ | ]

Suave Blade applies the Halves non-Special damage reduction status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Halves non-Special damage reduction is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.
- Halves non-Special damage reduction 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.
  - Halves non-Special damage reduction will not reduce the effect of Special "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust or Laguz Friend 4.
  - For more information, see Damage calculation.
Suave Blade applies the Bonus Doubler status effect.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Bonus Doubler is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

The stat increase that can be applied by Bonus Doubler is considered a temporary buff.
- The stat increasing effect of Bonus Doubler will activate if the unit receives Bonuses.
- The stat increasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the unit receives Penalties.
- The stat increasing effect of Bonus Doubler will stack with the temporary debuffs from Neutralize Bonuses or sources of bonus neutralization.
- The stat increasing effect will be negated if the unit is affected by Panic (and not affected by Null Panic), Ploy, or the unit has their Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.

"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.
Both Suave Blade and other effects that grant another action to the user can trigger on the same turn.^[1]
- The unit's Special cooldown count is unaffected if Suave Blade triggers.
- The priority of effects that grant another action to the user is as follows:

Share Spoils
Effects with priority such as Time Is Light
Non-Special effects without priority such as Lone Wolf or Override
Special effects without priority such as Galeforce or Njörun's Zeal II

"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 Suave Blade is considered a temporary buff.

Suave Blade will not neutralize the additional follow-up of Potent Follow effects.
Effects that are neutralized by Suave Blade:
- 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.
The damage-reduction effect is a flat -X (max: 15) damage that is calculated after offensive Specials, damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance, and "reduces damage by X%" effects such as Gust and Dodge.
- 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.
- Flat damage-reduction effects stack additively, similar to interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
- Flat damage-reduction effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as Share Spoils or Halves non-Special damage reduction.
