Notes[ | ]
- When battling a Flying unit, Attack is multiplied by 1.5.
- Sources of Flying effectiveness neutralization:
- The stat increase that can be applied by Winds of Change is considered a temporary buff.
- The stat increasing effect of Winds of Change will activate if the unit receives bonuses.
- The stat increasing effect will not be negated nor reduced if the unit receives penalties.
- The stat increasing effect of Winds of Change will stack with the temporary debuffs from Neutralize Bonuses or sources of bonus neutralization.
- The stat increasing effect will be negated if the unit is affected by Panic (and not affected by Null Panic), or the unit has their bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
- The follow-up neutralizing effects of Winds of Change will activate if the unit wielding it receives bonuses.
- The follow-up neutralizing effects will not be negated if the unit receives penalties.
- The follow-up neutralizing effects will be negated if the unit is affected by Panic (and not affected by Null Panic), or the unit has their bonuses removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization.
- Winds of Change will not neutralize the additional follow-up of 【Potent Follow X%】.
- Effects that are neutralized by Winds of Change:
- Effects that grant the foe a guaranteed follow-up such as Quick Riposte 4, Guaranteed Follow-Ups, or the Grand Conquests Cavalry area effect.
- Effects active on the unit that prevent their follow-up attacks, such as Windsweep 3, Watersweep 3, or Weaving Fighter.
- Effects active on the foe that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks such as Steady Impact, Vengeful Fighter 4, or Foe Cannot Follow-Up.

Notes[ | ]
- The temporary buffs follow-up neutralizing effects of refined Winds of Change will activate if the unit receives a 【Bonus】.
- The temporary buffs follow-up neutralizing effects will not be negated if the unit receives a 【Penalty】.
- If the unit does not receive a 【Bonus】, or has their 【Bonus】 removed by a source of positive status effect neutralization, the temporary buffs follow-up neutralizing effects will be negated.
- For more information, see List of keywords.
- The damage boosting effect of refined Winds of Change ignores the foe's Def or Res when calculating the damage boost, and can be reduced by damage reduction effects such as Armored Beacon, Dragon Wall 3, and Dodge.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, or Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of damage during combat except the minimum 1 damage from Umbra Burst weapons.
- For more information, see Damage calculation.
- "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.
- Winds of Change will neutralize the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect on unit from effects such as Guard Sword+, Guard, or 【Divine Vein (Green)】.
- Since the "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will be neutralized on unit, Winds of Change will also stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit from effects such as Heavy Blade 4, Special Cooldown Charge +1, or the Grand Conquests Infantry area effect, unless the foe is equipped with skills that neutralize the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect on unit.
- The neutralization that can be applied by Winds of Change works only on bonuses.
- Bonuses are neutralized by inflicting temporary debuffs of the same amount during combat.
- Bonuses reversed by Panic will not be neutralized.
- The damage-reduction neutralzation effect of Winds of Change will apply to damage-reducing Specials such as Vital Astra.
