Example Source: |

Example Source: |
| Dodge | Bonus | If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). Example Source: |

Example Source: |

After combat, if foe was defeated in combat, restores 10 HP to unit and allies with the Essence Drain effect. Example Source: |
| Exposure | Penalty | Foe's attacks deal +10 damage. Example Source: |
| Fallen Star | Bonus | For 1 turn, during unit's first combat in player phase and enemy phase, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 80%. Example Source: |
| False Start | Penalty | Through their next action, target cannot activate skill effects that trigger at start of turn. (Start-of-turn effects that cause unit to transform or that refresh availability of Duo Skills or Harmonized Skills will still trigger. If this effect is neutralized at start of turn by skills like Even Recovery, Odd Recovery, etc., effects that would have triggered at start of turn, like healing and damage, will then trigger.) Example Source: |
| Fell Spirit | Bonus | Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 on foe and neutralizes effects that prevent unit's counterattacks during 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), and also, when unit or foe is engaged, inflicts an additional Atk/Spd/Def/Res-2 on foe during combat.

(For example, if Spd difference necessary increases by 10, Spd must be ≥ 15 more than foe's Spd to make a follow-up attack; stacks with similar skills.) Example Source: |

Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if unit initiates combat and foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown).

(Example: if unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+14, for a net bonus of Atk+7.) Calculates each stat bonus independently. Unit's negative effects that last "through unit's next action" will remain in effect until this status (Grand Strategy) is neutralized. Example Source: |

Example Source: |

| Magic Twin Save | Bonus | If a magic, staff, or dragon foe initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers Savior on unit (triggers only if unit is not equipped with a skill that can trigger another Savior effect; if unit is granted multiple statuses that enable "Savior" effects to trigger, Savior will not trigger). If foe uses magic, staff, or dragon damage, disables foe's effects that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" (including area-of-effect Specials), and 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 during combat (excludes boosted Special effects from engaging; only highest value applied; does not stack).

| Paranoia | Bonus | At start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, grants Atk+5 to unit during combat, and also, if unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe's next attack. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, if foe initiates combat, and if either that foe's Range = unit's Range or number of 【Penalty】 effects active on foe excluding stat penalties ≥ 3, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack (excluding when unit's Savior effect triggers). Example Source: |

Example Source: |
| Preempt Pulse | Bonus | Grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. Example Source: |

Example Source: |
| Rally Spectrum | Bonus | Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat and if unit's attack can trigger unit's Special, grants Special cooldown count-X to unit before unit's first attack during combat (X = 1 if unit can trigger the "unit attacks twice" effect or if unit's maximum Special cooldown count is reduced (Special trigger is accelerated); otherwise, X = 2).

| Share Spoils | Penalty | Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on unit during combat and neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from unit's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If foe initiates combat and if unit is defeated in combat, grants another action to that foe after combat (this effect has priority over other similar effects, including Time Is Light; in such cases, these other similar effects are treated as not having triggered).
