B		Deep Star	300	—	Enables【Canto (１)】. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe and reduces damage from foe's first attack by X% during combat (if unit initiates combat, X = 80; otherwise, X = 30; stacks with other damage reduction effects, like that from【Deep Star】; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If unit initiates combat, grants【Deep Star】to unit and inflicts【Gravity】on target and foes within 1 space of target after combat.	Enables【Canto (１)】. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe and reduces damage from foe's first attack by X% during combat (if unit initiates combat, X = 80; otherwise, X = 30; stacks with other damage reduction effects, like that from【Deep Star】; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If unit initiates combat, grants【Deep Star】to unit and inflicts【Gravity】on target and foes within 1 space of target after combat. 【Canto (１)】 After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move １ space(s). (Unit moves according to movement type. Once per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest value applied. Does not stack. After moving, if a skill that grants another action would be triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will trigger after the granted action. Unit's base movement has no effect on movement granted. Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy) a distance greater than unit would be able to move with normal Canto movement.) 【Deep Star】 For 1 turn, if it is unit's first combat initiated by foe that turn, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 80% during combat (that turn only; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). 【Gravity】 Restricts target's movement to 1 space through its next action.
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

* Unused restrictions: No restrictions.

Notes

• If an effect that grants "another action" to unit would trigger, (such as with  Galeforce) the extra action will be granted before 【Canto (１)】 triggers (excluding effects that grant "another action" after Canto).
  • 【Canto (１)】 will not trigger after an effect that grants "another action" if it has already been triggered that turn or if the unit does not perform an action.
  • If 【Canto (１)】 has already been triggered that turn, Canto re-enabling effects can allow 【Canto (１)】 to trigger again.
•  Canto Control will reduce the amount of movement granted by 【Canto (１)】 to 1 space (or 2 spaces with  Salvage) for Range = 1 units and 0 spaces (or 1 space with  Salvage) for Range = 2 units.
• 【Canto (１)】 takes into account the unit's Move Type and the movement restrictions involved with it. For Example, a  Cavalry unit cannot use 【Canto (１)】 to enter or cross through a forest.
  • 【Canto (１)】 also takes into account effects that alter a unit's normal movement such as movement preventing effects, Divine Vein effects, Pass effects,  Traverse Terrain, and 【Pathfinder】.
  • 【Canto (１)】 also takes into account warping effects such as  Guidance 4 and  Air Orders. However, the distance is limited to the maximum amount of spaces allotted by 【Canto (１)】.
    • If an ally has an effect such as  Salvage, the unit can also warp to the ally after triggering Canto regardless of distance restrictions.
  • The movement granted by 【Canto (１)】 is unaffected by status effects that alter a unit's movement value such as  Mobility increased,  Gallop,  Stall, and  Gravity.
• "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.
• The stat decrease that can be applied by Deep Star is considered a temporary debuff.

• The damage-reduction effect 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.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Deep Star applies the  Deep Star status effect.
  • Any 【Bonus】 on a unit lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If  Deep Star is acquired during the enemy phase, it will disappear when the next player phase begins.

• The damage-reduction effect of  Deep Star only activates during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase of that turn.
  • If the user or a foe has any skills that neutralize or stack with  Deep Star's damage-reduction effect, those effects will only stack or be neutralized during the first combat that the user enters during the enemy phase of that turn.
  • "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 effect 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.
  • "Reduces damage by X%" effects stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as  Triangle Adept and the weapon-triangle advantage boost.
    • For example, if both  Dodge and  Gust trigger, the maximum total damage-reduction is 64% instead of 80%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 40%) × (1 − 40%) = 36% of the original damage.
  • Non-Special "reduces damage by X%" effects can be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
• Deep Star applies the  Gravity status effect.
  • Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have  Gravity for their first action.
  •  Gravity has priority over  Mobility increased and  Gallop.
