Notes

• Def is chosen if the unit does physical damage. Res is chosen if the unit does magical damage.
• Growing Wind is affected by skills that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res", as well as skills that disable such effect. The only exceptions are  Inf. Hexblade 3 and  Light and Dark.
• Damage dealt "before combat", like from Growing Wind, is affected by  bonuses and  penalties, but not by "during combat" effects such as  Spur Atk 3 or weapon-triangle advantages.
• A unit with  Ethereal Breath will reduce damage dealt from Growing Wind by 80%.
• A unit with skills such as  Close Call 3 and  Repel 3 will reduce damage dealt from Growing Wind by a maximum of 40%.
• Growing Wind 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.
