Notes[edit]
- When battling a flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
Dragonskin, 
Dragoon Shield, 
Ashera's Chosen, 
Gurgurant, 
Hel's Reaper, and 
Iote's Shield will neutralize the attack increase against flying units.
- The added damage is a fixed +7 and ignores Def and Res, but can be reduced by damage reduction skills like
Pavise.

Notes[edit]
- The upgraded version of Niles's Bow listed first has the same effect as
Flashing Blade 3. - Only attacks performed by the user have the Special cooldown charge +X effect. This is true regardless of who initiated combat.
- If the user has a "Special cooldown charge +X" effect and a foe has a "Special cooldown charge -X" effect, the effects will stack.
- For example, if a unit with Guard Sword+ battles an foe with
Heavy Blade 3 active:
- The effects will only stack when the user attacks and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
- The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will only take place when the foe attacks.
- For example, if a unit with
- Creator Sword will neutralize any effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to the foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
