Description [ExpandCollapse]	Grants Atk+3. At start of turn, grants 【Bonus Doubler】 to ally with the highest Atk.	Grants Atk+3. At start of turn, grants 【Bonus Doubler】 to ally with the highest Atk. 【Bonus Doubler】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of unit's stats for 1 turn. Calculates each stat bonus independently.

Notes

• Unit selection takes place after all  Bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new  Bonuses or  Penalties are applied. All other existing  Bonuses and  Penalties count towards their respective stats during unit selection.
  • Ardent Durandal does not compare Atk stats, so 【Phantom】 effects will not work.
  • If multiple units are tied for the highest Atk, each of those units will receive the effect.
• Ardent Durandal applies the  Bonus Doubler status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Bonus Doubler is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

• The stat increase that can be applied by  Bonus Doubler is considered a temporary buff.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Bonus Doubler will activate if the unit receives  Bonuses.
  • The stat increasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the unit receives  Penalties.
  • The stat increasing effect of  Bonus Doubler will stack with the temporary debuffs from  Neutralize Bonuses or sources of bonus neutralization.
  • The stat increasing effect will be negated if the unit is affected by  Panic (and not affected by  Null Panic),  Ploy, or the unit has their  Bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.

Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Ardent Durandal is considered a temporary buff.
• "If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
  • However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
• The neutralization that can be applied by  Ardent Durandal works only on  Bonuses.
  •  Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
  •  Bonuses reversed by  Panic will not be neutralized.

• The damage boosting effect of  Ardent Durandal ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage reduction effects such as  Armored Beacon,  Dragon Wall 3, and  Dodge.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward,  Múspellflame,  Niðavellir Axiom, or  Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
