Notes

Aegis is triggered by the foe's attack and reduces the damage taken from that attack.
- A foe with skills such as Lands Sword, Sisterly War Axe, or Queensblade will prevent Aegis from triggering.

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.
Aegis is triggered if the foe is 2 spaces away from the unit, not if the foe's Range = 2. The skill descriptions properly reflect this in all languages other than English and German.
