Cannot use:

Notes

• Pavise is triggered by the foe's attack and reduces the damage taken from that attack.
  • A foe with skills such as  Crusader's Astra,  Lands Sword,  Queensblade,  Sentinel Bow,  Sisterly War Axe,  True Lunar Flash, or  Breezy Spear will prevent Pavise from triggering.

• 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.
  • Special "reduces damage by X%" effects cannot be neutralized or reduced by effects such as  Share Spoils or  Halves non-Special damage reduction.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
