Notes[edit | edit source]

Has the same effect as Hit and Run.
Movement occurs only if both the unit and the foe can enter the target spaces normally.
- For example, Drag Back cannot cause an infantry unit to occupy a mountain space.
Close Call triggers before Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
The damage reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as Wo Dao+.
- Damage reductions by percentage stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and Triangle Adept.
  - For example, if both Urvan and Deflect Magic 1 activate, the total damage reduction is 86% instead of 110%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 80%) × (1 − 30%) = 14% of the original.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
Twin Blades and Deadeye will neutralize Close Call's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
