Shadowy Quill Effect and Basic Information

Basic Information

Skill
Shadowy Quill
Type
Mt 14 Range 2
Effect Enables 【Canto (Recall)】.
Grants Atk+3. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, and deals damage = total of the greater between unit's current bonus or foe's current penalty to Atk/Spd/Def/Res. (Calculates each value independently. Excluding area-of-effect Specials.)
Effect: 【Dagger 7】
【Canto (Recall)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can return to the space they moved from. (Once per turn. Cannot attack or assist. After moving, if a skill that grants another action would be triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will trigger after the granted action. Unit's base movement has no effect on movement granted. Granted movement treated as Warp movement.)
Required SP 400
