|---|---|---|---|
| Type | |||
| Effect | At start of turn, deals 1 damage to unit. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Atk/Spd+6, 【Preempt Pulse】, and "if unit initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit, unit deals +X × 80% damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's first attack by X × 40% (X = A + B; A = highest total bonuses among unit and allies within 3 spaces of unit; B = highest total penalties among foe and foes within 3 spaces of that foe; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 10 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers 【Potent Follow 100%】 during combat. |
