Description	Grants Def+3. If unit initiates combat and unit's Def ≥ foe's Def+5, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Notes

"If unit initiates combat" means if the user starts combat during the player phase. The unit does not need to deal damage, nor be the first to attack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
As a general rule, if a unit is both prevented from making, and guaranteed to make a follow-up attack, the effects cancel out, and the Spd difference decides instead (including effects that increase the Spd difference such as Wyvern Rift).
A foe with effects such as Phys. Null Follow or Null Follow-Up will neutralize the guaranteed follow-up attack granted by Spirit Breath.
Attacks that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" include attacks during combat and area-of-effect Specials.
- Close Ward, Mystic Boost 4, Divine Naga, Naga, Spirit Forest Writ, Splashy Bucket, and Splashy Bucket+ will disable this effect.
- Rare Talent, Aureola, Radiant Aureola, and Light and Dark II will disable this effect during combat, but not against area-of-effect Specials.

Upgrades

Can be upgraded in the Weapon Refinery. For a list of other such weapons, see list of upgradable weapons.

Stats	Description	Cost
+3 HP	Grants Def+3. At start of combat, if unit's Def > foe's Def or foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk+5 to unit and inflicts Atk-5 on foe during combat, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk+5 to unit and inflicts Atk-5 on foe during combat, and also, if foe initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's follow-up attack by 70% ("follow-up attack" normally means only the second strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the third and\nfourth strikes).	400 SP, 500, 200

Notes

The stat increase that can be applied by Spirit Breath is considered a temporary buff.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Spirit Breath is considered a temporary debuff.
"If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.

The damage-reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and damage boosting effects such as Arcane Lúin and Dominance.
- If a skill such as Miracle or Everliving Domain can trigger, the damage-reduction effect will not trigger and the user will still survive with only 1 HP.
- Percentage-based damage-reduction effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
  - For example, if both Buffer 4 and Godlike Reflexes activate, the maximum total damage-reduction is 70% instead of 90%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 50%) × (1 − 40%) = 30% of the original damage.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
