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.
- The effect is triggered regardless of whether Savage Blow's user performs an attack during combat. If foe initiates combat and user cannot counterattack, Savage Blow's effect will still trigger.
- Savage Blow's user needs to survive the combat for the effect to trigger.
- Savage Blow inflicts out of combat damage.
- Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
- A foe equipped with
Embla's Ward, 
Múspellflame, 
Niðavellir Axiom, 
Gold Perfection, or 
Nine-Realm Pact will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except from Røkkr area-of-effect Specials. - A foe equipped with
Røkkr or a unit with 
En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Area-of-effect Specials.
