Notes

• The effect of Guard Bearing only activates during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase.
  • If the user or a foe has any skills that neutralize or stack with Guard Bearing's effect, those effects will only stack or be neutralized during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase.
• 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 Guard Bearing's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
