At start of player phase or enemy phase, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+6, 【Hexblade】, and "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
If unit is transformed or unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, deals damage to foe = 25% of foe's max HP as combat begins (activates only when unit can attack in combat; only highest value applied; does not stack with other "deals X damage as combat begins" effects; effects that reduce damage during combat do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1; excluding certain foes, such as Røkkr).
If unit is transformed or unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def = 6 + 20% of unit's Def at start of combat, any "reduces damage by X%" effect that can be triggered only once per combat by unit's equipped Special skill can be triggered up to twice per combat (excludes boosted Special effects from engaging; only highest value applied; does not stack), deals damage = 30% of foe's max HP (excluding area-of-effect Specials; excluding certain foes, such as Røkkr), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by X during combat (X = total damage dealt to foe; min 10; max 20; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage from foe's attacks by an additional X (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2, and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.
