Description	Effective against flying foes. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 50%, grants Atk/Def+5 during combat, and also, if foe can make a follow-up attack, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 50%.

Notes[edit]

When battling a flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
- Dragonskin, Dragoon Shield, Ashera's Chosen, Gurgurant, Hel's Reaper, and Iote's Shield will neutralize the attack increase against flying units.
The stat increase that can be applied by Courtly Bow is considered a combat boost.
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 Courtly Bow's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
