Mareeta: The Blade’s Pawn:
  • Shadow Sword (Sword, Mt 16): Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit’s HP ≥ 50% and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.
  • Luna (Special): Treats foe’s Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.
  • Flashing Blade 4 (A slot): If unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd, grants Special cooldown charge +1 and deals +5 damage per unit’s attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)
  • Null Follow-Up 3 (B slot): Disables foe’s skills that guarantee foe’s follow-up attack and foe’s skills that prevent unit’s follow-up attack.
Berkut: Purgatorial Prince:
  • Kriemhild (Lance, Mt 16): If a bow, dagger, magic, or staff foe initiates combat and unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, unit can counterattack regardless of foe’s range and foe cannot make a follow-up attack, but after combat, if unit attacked, deals 20 damage to nearest ally.
  • Reprisal (Special): Boosts damage by 30% of damage dealt to unit.
  • Warding Stance 4 (A slot): If foe initiates combat, grants Res+8 during combat and inflicts Special cooldown charge-1 on foe per foe’s attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)
  • Odd Res Wave 3 (C slot): At start of odd-numbered turns, grants Res+6 to unit and adjacent allies for 1 turn. (Bonus granted to unit even if no allies are adjacent.)
Corrin: Wailing Soul:
  • Savage Breath (Colorless Breath, Mt 16): Grants Atk+3. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X. (Calculates X based on number of allies within 2 spaces of unit: 0 allies grants +6; 1 ally grants +4; 2 allies grants +2; ≥3 allies grants +0). If foe’s Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of the foe’s Def or Res.
  • Dragon Fang (Special): Boosts damage by 50% of unit’s Atk.
  • Atk/Spd Solo 3 (A slot): If unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 during combat.
  • Sudden Panic 3 (B slot): At start of turn, if any foe’s HP ≤ unit’s HP-1, and that foe is adjacent to another foe, inflicts [Panic] on that foe. [Panic] converts bonuses on foe into penalties through its next action.
Tiki: Torpid Dragon:
  • Razing Breath (Colorless Breath, Mt 16): Effective against dragon foes. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe’s range. If foe’s Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of the foe’s Def or Res.
  • Ignis (Special): Boosts damage by 80% of unit’s Def.
  • Brazen Atk/Spd 3 (A slot): At start of combat, if unit’s HP ≤ 80%, grants Atk/Spd+7 during combat.
  • Special Fighter 3 (B slot): At start of combat, if unit’s HP ≥ 50%, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)
  • Solitary Dream (C slot): At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and unit can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.)
