Notes

• The stat decrease that can be applied by Inveterate Axe is considered a  penalty.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit, including  penalties, lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the penalty for their first action.
• Inveterate Axe does not compare Spd stats.
  • Because no comparison is made, skills like  Phantom Spd 3 have no effect.
• Unit selection takes place after all  bonuses on allies are removed, and before any new bonuses or  penalties are applied. All other existing bonuses and penalties count towards their respective stats during unit selection.
• If multiple units are tied for the lowest Spd, each of those units will receive the effect.
