Weapon: Lofty Leaflet – Enables [Canto (Unit 3×3)].
Grants Spd+3. At start of combat, if foe’s HP >= 50%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, deals damage = 15% of unit’s Spd, and also, if foe has bonuses, grants bonus to unit’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res and inflicts penalty on foe’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of foe’s stats. Calculates each status bonus and penalty independently.
[Canto (Unit 3×3)]
After an attack, Assist skill or structure destruction, unit can move to a space within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on unit.
(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.)
Assist: Draw Back

If unit’s HP >= 25% at start of combat and unit attacks, after combat, deals 10 damage to target and foes within 2 spaces of target.
[Canto (Ally 2)]
After an attack, Assist skill or structure destruction, unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces.
(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.)

If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, calculates damage using the lower of foe’s Def or Res, grants Akt/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. Excludes area-of-effect Specials.)

[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.)
Special: Lethality

B: Chill Def/Res 3 – At start of turn, inflicts Def/Res-6 on foe on the enemy team with the highest Def+Res total and foes within 2 spaces of that foe through their next actions.
C: C Feud 3

Duo Skill: Unit can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.) If any foes are in cardinal directions of unit or [Penalty] is active on any foes, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-7 and [Panic] on those foes.
