Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Devil Axe is considered a combat boost.
• If unit attacked means if the wielder attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
  • This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not activate.

• Devil Axe inflicts out of combat damage.
  • Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
  • A foe equipped with  Embla's Ward or  Múspellflame will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
  • A foe equipped with  Røkkr will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except area-of-effect Specials.
• Devil Axe stacks with healing from skills like  Mystic Boost 3.
  • For example, if a unit has both Fury and Mystic Boost,  Fury 1 +  Mystic Boost 2 = +2 HP, and  Fury 3 +  Mystic Boost 3 = 0 HP.

Notes

• The skill refined version of Devil Axe listed first has the same effect as  Wrath 3.
• The HP threshold and "if Special triggers by attacking" conditions apply both to the cooldown count and the +{10 damage.
  • Area-of-effect Specials are now considered "triggered by attacking" and will gain +10 damage from Devil Axe. (As of Version 2.2.0)
• Deals +10 damage when an offensive Special triggers.
  • The added damage from activating a Special is a fixed +10 and ignores Def and Res, but can be reduced by damage reduction skills like  Pavise.
  • The added damage will also affect area-of-effect Specials such as  Rising Flame and  Growing Thunder.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
  • For the +10 damage, the HP threshold is checked at the point of special activation, as opposed to start of combat.
