Footnotes

1. Essentially, given p as the growth rate, this increases the probability by p-p².

2. As an example, a unit with Str 25 and a weapon with Mgt 15 attacks a unit with Def 18. This normally means Dmg is 22, but when Grievous activates, Atk goes from 40 to 60, and Dmg goes to 42. The effect is greater on enemies with higher defense.

3. S is a multiplier assigned according to the support level of the bearer and the unit being guarded. S_none = 0.5; S_C = 0.75; S_B = 1.0; S_A = 1.5; S_S = 2.0

4. This is a fire equivalent to the poison condition, but twice as strong—4-8 damage will be dealt by this condition at the beginning of every turn.

5. In words, this is 10% times the skill of the assassin as a percent times the quantity of the level of the assassin minus the level of the opponent. Opponents of equal or greater level default to 0%, so this skill cannot activate on bosses or extremely tough enemies. Also note that Assassin Lv 1 is counted as lv 21 in calculations, so an assassin can perform this on all first tier classes.

6. Curse effectively halves str, mag, skl, def, and res.
