Notes

• The stat increase that can be applied by Parthia is considered a combat boost.
• 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 Parthia's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
•  Þjálfi will reduce the damage reduction of Parthia's damage reduction effect by 50%.
