Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Def Tactic is considered a  bonus.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase.
  • If  bonuses are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins.
• Movement Types refers to if a unit is:  Infantry,  Armored,  Cavalry, or  Flying.
• In order for the skill to trigger with an ally unit, the team must have fewer than 3 allies sharing a movement type on the field.
• Def Tactic takes account of ally units on the field at the start of the phase, meaning if allies are lost it is possible to meet Def Tactic's condition and trigger the skill.
  • Example: A team consists of 1 Infantry unit with Def Tactic & 3 Fliers. The skill cannot trigger with the 3 Fliers because there are more than 2 of them on the field. Should the third flier be defeated, Def Tactic's condition will be met and the skill will trigger.
