Ability Particulars

This article explains abilities in detail. A character with the ability is shown at each subsection as an example.

Ability Effect up based on Ally Numbers[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of party members currently participating in battle. This means that defeated allies will not count towards this number because they are no longer "participating". Furthermore, allies that have been defeated and resurrected with the Revive ability will continue to not count.

Ability Effect up based on Characters[]

Increases the ability's effect if the party has at least one character from a specified character group. This ability enhancement will not disappear even if that character is defeated. Additionally, any alternate version of the characters from the group can work. For example, if Cattleya works then so will Cattleya (Christmas). Note however that alternate versions of the ability owner do not count and will not enhance the ability. For example, if Dancing Lady Orchid (Radiant Dancer) is the ability owner then none of the Dancing Lady Orchid alternate versions will work.

There are two character groups in the game:

Cattleya's Mansion (閉ざされたお屋敷): Cattleya, Dancing Lady Orchid, Cymbidium, Dendrobium, and Black Baccara.
Summer Queen's Blade (常夏の王剣): Casablanca, Mountain Lily, Rosy Lily, Gladiolus, Morning Star Lily, and Showy Lily.
Seven Herbs Maiden (七草乙女団): Water Dropwort, Jersey Cudweed, Turnip, Radish, Chickweed, and Nipplewort.

Ability Effect up based on Common Attributes[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of allies that match the most common Attribute in the party. For example, this ability will be stronger for a party composed of 4 Slash + 1 Magic than a party composed of 3 Slash + 2 Magic. This only counts the natural Attribute of characters, meaning that any Attributes added with the Add Attribute ability or Flower Memories will not count.

Ability Effect up based on Less HP[]

Increases the ability's effect based on how low the ability owner's current HP is. The effect becomes stronger as the owner's HP gets lower, though it will be completely cancelled once the owner's HP drops to 0%. It synergizes well with the Reduce HP ability. These abilities always have a maximum cap that can be reached when the owner is at 1% HP. However, this maximum cap can be exceeded when the owner's Max HP is above 100%. This can be achieved with the Maintain HP ability.

For example, Thistle increases Attack for herself as her HP gets lower with a cap of 300%.

If she gains the ability to Maintain 200% HP, then her cap doubles to 600%.
If she gains the ability to Maintain 300% HP, then her cap triples to 900%.

Ability Effect up based on More HP[]

Increases the ability's effect based on how high the ability owner's current HP is. Units with this ability will do much more Damage when they have a higher percentage of their Max HP, with the formula: (Current HP / Max HP) * X%. The Retain HP ability will have no effect on Damage dealt. However, the Maintain HP ability will further increase Damage because it allows units to exceed 100% Max HP. There are several Flower Memories that provide this ability, such the Healing Boost Flower Memory. This FM allows the owner to reach 125% Max HP.

For example, Kerria increases Damage for herself by (Current HP / Max HP) * 100%.

At 50% HP, she will deal 50% more damage.
At 100% HP, she will deal 100% more damage.
At 125% HP, she will deal 125% more damage.

Ability Effect up based on More Party HP[]

Increases the ability's effect based on how high the entire party's current HP is. Units will do much more Damage when all party members have a higher percentage of their Max HP, with the formula: (Total Current HP / Total Max HP) * X%. It functions exactly like Ability Effect up based on More HP - except it takes the whole party's HP into account.

Ability Effect up based on Same Attributes[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of Attributes in the party that match the ability owner's. This only counts the natural Attribute of characters, meaning that any Attributes added with the Add Attribute ability or Flower Memories will not count.

Ability Effect up based on Same Nation[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of party members that match the ability owner's Nation. A unit's Nation cannot be changed by the player by any means.

Ability Effect up based on Skill Level[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the ability owner's Skill Level. This can range from 1~5 and a higher Skill Level means a stronger effect.

Ability Effect up based on Solar Drive[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of times Solar Drive has been used. The effect becomes stronger for every 100% of the Light Gauge used and typically procs up to three times. Firing 300% of the Gauge one time counts as three procs of the ability, and is equivalent to firing 100% of the Gauge three times. This buff will work throughout an entire Subjugation rather than in one battle. This means that if one party fires the Solar Drive, a party battling later that has this ability will have it kick in immediately.

Ability Effect up based on Turns Passed[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of turns that have passed. The effect becomes stronger at the end of each turn, typically up to a maximum of 2~4 times depending on the ability. When you enter a new battle, this ability resets.

Ability Effect up based on Unique Attributes[]

Increases the ability's effect based on the number of unique Attributes in the party. This only counts the natural Attribute of characters, meaning that any Attributes added with the Add Attribute ability or Flower Memories will not count.

Attack down[]

Reduces the Attack (攻撃力) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 70%. Even at maximum reduction, the minimum damage anyone can deal is 1.

Attack up based on Defense[]

Increases the Attack (攻撃力) of allies based on their Defense. Specifically, a percentage of the character's own Defense Power is added to their Attack Power. This conversion happens after Equipment, Flower Memories, and Defense up abilities are accounted for.

Abstract Example:

Equipment, Flower Memories, and Defense up abilities activate and finalize the character's Defense.
This conversion ability activates and turns that finalized Defense into Attack.
Attack up abilities activate afterwards and will increase the now converted Attack.

Concrete Example:

Character A has 1,000 Defense power, and character B has 2,000 Defense power.
If the conversion is 25%, then character A gets 250 more Attack Power, and character B gets 500 more Attack Power.
The defense values used in these examples would include the effects of Equipment, Flower Memories, and Defense up abilities.

Attack up based on Pest Nests[]

Increases the Attack (攻撃力) of allies based on the number of times the party passed through a Pest Nest. Stacks additively and has a limit of 4 times. Stacks additively with other Attack up abilities.

Attack up based on Speed[]

Increases the Attack (攻撃力) of allies based on party Speed. A percentage of the party's Speed is added to each character's Attack Power. Abilities that affect party speed do affect this conversion, but panels that affect party speed do not.

Example:

Character's Attack Power: 8,000
Party's Speed: 700
Ability 1: [For 5 allies] Increases Attack by 200% of party's Speed.
Ability 2: [For 5 allies] Increases Attack by 30%.

It starts by adding the speed to the base attack: [8,000 + 1,400] = 9,400.
Then the multiplier kicks in: [9,400 * 130%] = 12,220.

Critical Rate down[]

Reduces the Critical Rate (クリティカル率) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 100%.

Critical Rate up[]

Increases the Critical Rate (クリティカル率) of allies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 80%. For more information, see Combat#Critical.

There are some units like Dusty Miller (Christmas) that exceed the limit and have a 100% Critical Rate. These units are guaranteed to Critical Attack every time and will ignore all Enemy debuffs that attempt to reduce their Critical Rate. However, these units will still be affected by abilities that Disable Critical Attacks.

Damage down[]

Reduces the Damage (与ダメージ) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 70%. Even at maximum reduction, the minimum damage anyone can deal is 1.

Damage Reduction up[]

Increases the Damage Reduction (被ダメージ低下) of allies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 80%.

Damage Reduction is unable to stack with Barrier, in which case the stronger ability will always take effect. For example, Anemone provides a 30% Barrier for 5 allies and Marsh-marigold provides 60% Damage Reduction for 5 Magic allies. Magic allies will get the 60% from Marsh-marigold and not the 30% from Anemone. It's important to note that Defend Damage Reduction is considered a different mechanic entirely, and therefore will stack with Damage Reduction.

Damage up based on Enemy HP[]

Increases the Damage (与ダメージ) allies deal to enemies if the enemy's HP meets a certain condition. Depending on the unit, this ability may increase the Damage dealt if the enemy's HP is above a certain percentage or below a certain percentage. For example, RG Leucophyllum increases Damage against enemies above 50% HP whereas Akane increases Damage against enemies below 50% HP. This ability works on a per-enemy basis - so if only one of the three enemies meets the HP condition, then only that one enemy will take increased Damage.

Stacks additively with abilities of the exact same condition and multiplicatively with any other Damage abilities. For example:

'Enemy <50% HP' abilities will stack additively with other 'Enemy <50% HP' abilities.
'Enemy <50% HP' abilities will stack multiplicatively with 'Enemy <80% HP' abilities.
'Enemy <50% HP' abilities will stack multiplicatively with any other 'Damage up' abilities.

Defense down[]

Reduces the Defense (防御力) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 70%.

There are some units like Hebe that can exceed the limit and allow you to reduce the Defense of enemies by 100%. This is referred to as Limit Break (上限解放).

Defense up[]

Increases the Defense (防御力) of allies. Stacks additively and has no limit. It often comes with two additional abilities.

The first additional ability increases the Defend Damage Reduction (防御時軽減率) of allies. Defending has a chance to proc whenever a unit takes damage. The chance of it occurring increases with a higher Defense stat. Defense up not only makes Defending more effective, but also makes it occur more often. This ability also stacks additively, but has a limit of 20%.

The second additional ability is Possible Guts. It was added on 2017/10/10.

Heal down[]

Reduces the Healing (被回復量) that enemies can get from their Skills and abilities.

Heal up[]

Increases the Healing (被回復量) of targeted allies from all sources - whether it be Skills, Healing Panels, or Heals. Stacks additively and has no limit. Can also stack with the Healing Boost Flower Memory, another source of this ability. This ability often comes coupled with Maintain HP.

Hit Rate down[]

Reduces the Hit Rate (命中率) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 70%.

Nearly every enemy in the game has 100% Hit Rate by default, so anything lower can cause them to potentially Miss. As a result, this debuff pairs well with units that have Evade and increases the chance for units to Intercept if they have the ability.

Skill Activation Rate down[]

Reduces the Skill Activation Rate (スキル発動率) of enemies. Stacks additively and has a limit of 90%.

Skill Activation Rate up[]

Increases the Skill Activation Rate (スキル発動率) of allies. Abilities that increase Skill Rate by 1.2x or 1.28 ~ 1.36x will stack additively and have no limit. Abilities that increase Skill Rate by 1.65x or 2x will stack multiplicatively and have no limit. The exception is Nasturtium (Easter), whose 2x Skill Rate ability is additive.

For example, Fire Lily gives allies 1.2x Skill Rate and Maple can give allies 1.36x Skill Rate. Together, they would both receive: 1.0 + 0.2 + 0.36 = 1.56x. If you add Cymbidium to the party - a unit who gives 2x Skill Rate on turn 1 - they would all receive (1.0 + 0.2 + 0.36) * 2 = 3.12x.

Skill Activation Rate up based on Affection[]

Increases the Skill Activation Rate (スキル発動率) of allies based on their own Affection. Stacks additively and has no limit. For example, two units that increase Skill Activation Rate by 1.2x will have their abilities stack - such that both will receive: 1.0 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 1.4x.

All "based on affection" abilities are only affected by 1st affection. Even if a character unlocked Blossomed Affection or Oath Affection, she will still be considered to have 100% Affection. Likewise, reaching 100% in those Affections will have no effect.

Solar Drive Effect up[]

Increases the Solar Drive Effect (ソーラードライブの効果). Unlike most abilities, this one stacks by incremental multiplication. As a result, having more characters in a party with this ability makes Solar Drive considerably more deadly. That said, a party of non-Bloomed units with this ability will not produce impressive results. Solar Drive Effect can be even further boosted through Flower Memories like 5* Resort town, Plátano and 6* The Solar Blade. The example below shows five characters that each increase the SD Effect by 70% along with the calculation.

ciel( (70/100 + 1) * (70/100 + 1) * (70/100 + 1) * (70/100 + 1) * (70/100 + 1) - 1) * 100%

ciel( 1.7 * 1.7 * 1.7 * 1.7 * 1.7 - 1) * 100%

ciel( 14.19857 - 1) * 100%

ciel( 13.19857 ) * 100%

13.20 * 100%

1,320%

Act Again[]

Act Again (再行動) gives allies the chance to attack again. Stacks additively and has a limit of 90%. The two attacks are completely independent of each other, meaning it is possible to Skill Act in one attack and not the other.

There are some units like Dendrobium that exceed the limit and have a 100% Act Again Rate. This is referred to as Limit Break (上限解放).

Add Attribute[]

This grants affected allies a certain Attribute (属性), letting them deal Weak Point Damage (1.5x) to more pests. Usually this ability will apply to the owner because few units apply their own Attribute to allies. For example, Sensitive Plant has a Blunt Attribute and she does not give Blunt to her allies - but she does give them Slash, Pierce, and Magic. This also means that Sensitive Plant will always have all Attributes.

When selecting characters to give the Attribute, the ability will never target characters that are already of that Attribute. For example, Curcuma gives Slash Attribute to some allies, so this ability will not target Slash characters like Kerria or allies already affected by 'Adds Slash Attribute'.

In some Ultimate Unique Missions, there are pests that are weak to two Attributes at once. Even if a character could hit both Weak Points, they would still deal the usual 1.5x damage. Also, there are numerous difficult stages that have pests with the ability to reduce damage taken from characters that cannot hit their Weak Point Attribute.

Add Pursuit[]

This grants affected allies the chance to Pursuit (追撃). After an affected ally has finished their attack, the enemies that they had targeted might take an extra hit. The Pursuit's damage is calculated by using a percentage of the party's Overall Force as Attack Power, then applying it against the previously targeted enemies.

This ability activates separately from other Pursuit abilities. For example, Liverwort already gives herself Pursuit. Her being affected by this ability means she could potentially do two Pursuits each attack.

Add Skill Drain[]

This grants affected allies the ability to Skill Drain (吸収), letting them drain HP from enemies whenever they use their Skill. Drain caused by this ability can only Heal a character up to 50% of their Max HP. This ability stacks additively with skills that naturally drain, however the 50% limit will remain the same. This maximum Heal applies on a per-skill basis, so a character that does two skills in a turn thanks to Act Again can potentially Heal beyond the 50%.

Ambush[]

Ambush (伏撃) allows the ability owner to deal damage to enemies whenever allies are attacked, so long as the ability owner is not a target. Damage will be dealt for each ally targeted. For example, if an enemy attacks 3 allies at once then they will be damaged 3 times by Ambush. The damage done is called "Ambush Damage" and it can be further increased if the ability owner also has Stealth.

Barrier[]

Barrier (防壁) provides a Damage Reduction effect to all units, so long as the ability owner is alive in combat. Barrier effects cannot stack with each other. For example, Anemone and Tarragon each provide a 30% Barrier for 5 allies. Since they do not stack, the 5 allies will still only get 30%.

Barrier is also unable to stack with regular Damage Reduction abilities, in which case the stronger ability will always take effect. For example, Anemone provides a 30% Barrier for 5 allies and Marsh-marigold provides 60% Damage Reduction for 5 Magic allies. Magic allies will get the 60% from Marsh-marigold and not the 30% from Anemone. It's important to note that Defend Damage Reduction is considered a different mechanic entirely, and therefore will stack with Barrier.

Combo Hit[]

Combo Hit (連撃) is an extra hit done to enemies after a character has finished their attack. Combo Hit's damage is calculated by using a percentage of the character's own damage dealt, then re-applying it against the previously targeted enemies. Combo Hit does not have a unique animation, but an icon will appear alongside its damage. It is a separate ability from Pursuit.

Combo Hit Properties

Weak Point Attacks can occur.
Critical Attacks cannot occur.
Abilities that increase Damage, Boss Damage, or Weak Point Damage do work.
Abilities that increase Skill Damage or Critical Damage do not work.

Combo Hit Formula
Combo Hit Damage = X% of Damage dealt * (Sum of all Damage multipliers except Skill/Critical Damage)

Counter[]

Counter (反撃) gives allies the chance to deal damage back to the enemy whenever they're attacked. This damage converts the character's own Defense Power into Attack Power before calculating the damage dealt. Many characters can Counter 100% of the time and some can even perform a Super Counter. Even if a character doesn't take damage thanks to abilities like Evade or Negate Damage, they can still Counter. As a result, Counter has great synergy with these abilities because it prevents your character from taking damage while they deal damage back.

Increasing a character's Defense will not only boost their Counter damage, it will also increase their chance to Defend. Hence, it increases both their offense and survivability. Defense up buffs are very low compared to Attack up buffs however, so stacking Defense on Counter units can be difficult.

It is possible for a unit to Counter even if they are defeated by an enemy's attack. If the enemy wipes out the party, but they manage to defeat the attacker with Counter, then the battle will end in a draw. Against a Raid Boss, this counts as a win. In a Subjugation, both the enemy and the player's party are considered defeated and will be removed from the map.

Counter is somewhat effective against enemies that act twice because it lets you deal more damage to enemies even when it is not your turn. Counter's damage will mitigate the effects of enemy Defense. This is because enemies with considerable Defense like Aqua Shadows used to take only 1 damage from counterattacks. The ability was buffed to counteract this situation.

Disable Add Attribute[]

Disable Add Attribute (属性付与無効) prevents affected allies from benefiting from the Add Attribute ability. This affects abilities that come from allies, Equipment, or Flower Memories.

Disable Attack up[]

Disable Attack up (攻撃力上昇無効) prevents affected allies from benefiting from the 'Attack up' ability. This affects abilities that come from allies, Equipment, or Flower Memories.

Disable Critical Attacks[]

Disable Critical Attacks (クリティカル発生不可) prevents affected allies from performing Critical Attacks. This even affects units like Dusty Miller (Christmas), who would otherwise have a 100% Critical Rate.

Disable Heal Abilities[]

Disable Heal Abilities (アビリティによる回復不可) prevents affected allies from being Healed by any abilities. Note that this does not prevent them from Healing with their Skill.

Disable Retain HP[]

Disable Retain HP (被HP保護無効) prevents affected allies from benefiting from the Retain HP ability. This affects abilities that come from allies, Equipment, or Flower Memories.

Evade[]

Evade (回避) allows units to completely avoid an enemy's attack. Even if the attack does multiple hits, all hits will be Evaded. Some characters have a higher Evade Rate on the first two turns of combat, while others can perform a Special Evade. Characters vary in their Evade Rates, generally 6* > Gacha 5* > Event/Serial Code 5*. Evade Rates are clearly written in the ability description, whereas in the past these rates were not publicly written and was a flat, unchanging activation rate throughout the battle.

Characters like Blackberry can increase the Evade Rate of party members. Evade Rate stacks additively and has a limit of 90%.

For Attribute[]

For Attribute (属性) abilities will only be applied to allies that match the specified Character Attribute(s). This only works on characters who are naturally that Attribute, so any added through the Add Attribute ability will not count.

For Type[]

For Type (タイプ) abilities will only be applied to allies that match the specified Character Type(s). Every character's Type can be freely changed by the player, so you can directly control who the ability buffs will go to. For example, Liatris increases the Act Again Rate of only 1 Attack-Type ally. If you want to make sure it goes to a strong damage dealer like Kerria, you can set her Type to 'Attack' and ensure that no other allies are set to it.

Golden Blessing[]

Golden Blessing (黄金の加護) is the signature ability of Meconopsis (Golden Blessing). Once conditions are met, this ability removes the affiliated Nation of all affected allies and replaces it with Kodaibana. This effect is removed when the battle ends or if the ability owner is defeated, in which case the Nation of allies will revert back to the original. World Flower Incarnations and Arka are completely unaffected by abilities that change Nation affiliation, such as Golden Blessing.

Attack/Damage up with Same Nation abilities can potentially be impacted by Golden Blessing. If the ability activates before Golden Blessing, then it will not be affected. If the ability activates after Golden Blessing, then the "Same Nation" will simply mean Kodaibana.

Golden Melody[]

Golden Melody (黄金の旋律) abilities will only activate on the 5th turn of battle. It is only on that single turn of battle that they will activate.

This ability is exclusive to characters from the Girls Symphony Collaborations.

Guts[]

Possible Guts (確率ガッツ) gives allies the chance to survive a killing blow with 1 HP remaining. It is often paired with Defense up and most commonly occurs up to 3x per battle. Possible Guts. Possible Guts activates at a set rate. Guaranteed Guts (確定ガッツ) functions just like Possible Guts - except it has a 100% chance to activate.

Possible Guts and Guaranteed Guts both stack additively and have no limit.

Example 1: Queen of the Night (June Bride) gives x1 Guaranteed Guts to all allies and Nerine gives x3 Possible Guts to herself. Pairing them together will cause Nerine to activate Guts a minimum of x1 and a maximum of x4.
Example 2: Ash and Queen of the Night (June Bride) both give x1 Guts activation to all allies. Pairing them together would result in x2 Guaranteed Guts for all. If you were to add Dragon Fruit (Swimsuit), a unit that gives herself x3 Guaranteed Guts, she would have x5 Guaranteed Guts.

Heal[]

Heal (回復) recovers the HP of allies by a percentage of their own Max HP. So for characters that Heal the entire party like Luffa: the percentage Healed is the same (5%), but characters with higher Max HP will Heal more.

Characters like Luffa also give multiple allies in the party a chance to Heal every turn. This chance is independent for each ally. So even though her ability affects the entire party: some, none, or all allies could Heal on a given turn. Healing abilities all activate independently from each other too, so you could have situations where Purslane Heals twice on a turn if she has the Healing Bracelet equipped.

Immobilize[]

Immobilize (行動不能) prevents affected allies and enemies from acting on their turn. Some units like Riko (Will of the World) cannot be Immobilized, however they can still be affected by the Seal ability.

Intercept[]

Intercept (迎撃) gives allies the chance to deal damage back to the enemy whenever an enemy attack Misses them. Enemy attacks can Miss when your units possess the Evade or Hit Rate down ability. Unlike the Counter ability, Intercept's damage is based on the character's own Attack Power rather than Defense Power. Characters will get an additional boost to their Attack Power while they are doing an Interception.

Invincibility[]

Invincibility (無敵) makes affected allies immune to nearly all damage. This includes enemy Counter and Pursuit attacks.

Luck Rate[]

Luck Rate (運命率) is an ability condition exclusive to World Flower Incarnations. Abilities with this tag only have a chance of activating. The chance depends on the number of characters in the entire team that are from the owner's Nation. Specifically, it is calculated by the number of characters from the owner's Nation multiplied by 5.3%. For example if you have 11 characters from the owner's Nation, then the chance of this ability activating is 11 x 5.3% = 58.3%. This means that 100% can only be achieved when all 19 other characters on the team are from the owner's Nation.

Notes:

Units that are dead will not be counted.
The unit herself will not be counted.
Units from Helper Squads will not be counted.

Maintain HP[]

Maintain HP (HPを維持) gives units the ability to Overheal (オーバーヒール), meaning they can Heal above 100% Max HP. Stacks additively and has a limit of 1000%. HP above 100% stays and acts like an extra health bar that is carried over from battle to battle. This ability often comes coupled with Heal up. It also synergizes well with Attack/Damage up based on Less HP because it increases the Attack/Damage potential.

There are some units like Tiger Lotus that exceed the 1000% HP limit. This is referred to as Limit Break (上限変更).

Example:

Isogiku (Easter) can Maintain 300% HP (200% above of her Max HP).
Solidago can let allies Maintain 120% HP (20% above their Max HP).
Healing Boost can let the owner Maintain 125% HP (25% above their Max HP).

Affected by all three together, Isogiku (Easter) can Maintain: 100% + 200% + 20% + 25% = 345%.

Negate Damage[]

Negate Damage (ダメージ無効化) allows allies to completely nullify an enemy's attack. Even if the attack would do multiple hits, all would be negated. In the past this ability could not stack, but this was changed on 2021/03/22. For example, Usagigiku applies 3 negations to herself and Habranthus applies 1 negation to all allies. If paired together, Usagigiku would have 4 negations while all other allies would have 1.

If a Flower Knight nullifies damage in some other fashion such as Evading the attack or the enemy Missing, the damage negation would not be consumed. This means that an Evading Flower Knight with the Negate Damage buff will have the effect ready to activate for the exact moment her Evade fails.

Power Seed[]

Power Seed (力の種) is an ability condition exclusive to World Flower Incarnations. Their abilities and skills will get progressively stronger as the number of Seeds increase. Seeds will increase based on the number of characters in the entire team that are from the owner's Nation. Reaching the total number of Seeds will change their appearance in battle.

Power Seed Conditions:

1+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed I
3+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed II
4+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed III
9+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed IV
14+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed V
19+ characters from the same Nation: Power Seed VI

Notes:

Units that are dead will not be counted.
The unit herself will not be counted.
Units from Helper Squads will not be counted.
The upgraded skills from Power Seed IV to VI are enhanced by Eternal Oath, as normal.

Protect[]

Protect (庇護) reduces the damage allies would take by a set percentage and then redirects all damage to the ability owner. As a result, attacked allies take 0 damage. Protect can stack with Barrier and Damage Reduction abilities.

There are three types of Protect in the game: Protect (Weak) / 庇護(小), Protect (Medium) / 庇護(中), and Protect (Strong) / 庇護(大). A stronger Protect means a higher damage reduction from enemy attacks. These Protect types do not stack, instead the stronger effect will always take priority.

Provoke[]

Provoke (挑発) causes enemy attacks to prioritize the ability owner. Flower Knights with Provoke will always have defensive abilities that make them a good target, such as Evade or Defense up. Many will also have abilities that give buffs whenever they are attacked or Evade an attack. For example, after being attacked, Cardamine Lyrata will increase Skill Activation Rate and Boss Damage for 5 allies on the next turn. Note that attracting all enemy attacks to oneself doesn't mean other allies will always be safe. If an enemy can hit multiple targets in one attack, allies will still be be hit.

There are three types of Provoke in the game. Provoke (Weak) / 挑発(小) is common and found only in characters. The basic Provoke / 挑発 can be commonly found in Flower Memories and rarely in some characters like Bamboo. Provoke (Extra Strong) / 挑発(特大) is rarely found in some characters like Broad Bean. Provoke (Extra Strong) is 'stronger' than the basic one, which in turn is 'stronger' than the Weak one. This means that enemies will prioritize attacking units with the Extra Strong Provoke over the basic one, then units with the the basic Provoke over the Weak one.

If Provoke and Stealth are used together on a unit, both effects will cancel each other out.

Pursuit[]

Pursuit (追撃) is an extra hit done to enemies after the character has finished their attack. The Pursuit's damage is calculated by using a percentage of the party's Overall Force as Attack Power, then applying it against the previously targeted enemies. Pursuit does not have a unique animation, but an icon will appear alongside its damage. It is a separate ability from Combo Hit. Additionally, there is a special type of Pursuit called Scaled Pursuit.

Reduce HP[]

Reduce HP (HP減少) reduces the HP of affected characters by a certain percentage. Characters with this ability typically need to be at low HP in order to be effective in battle. For example, most of Corbett (Halloween)'s abilities only function when she is at low HP or become more effective the less HP she has. Because of this, Reduce HP synergizes well with Attack/Damage up based on Less HP.

Characters can defeat themselves if this ability brings them down to 0 HP. Damage caused by this ability ignores Negate Damage, Special Evade, and Retain HP. If this ability triggers a character's Guts, she will not be defeated. She will be brought down to 1 HP as normal.

Retain HP[]

Retain HP (HP保護) gives allies an HP shield that is reduced before their actual HP. Stacks additively and has no limit. Retained HP cannot be healed back through any means, such as Drain Skills or Healing abilities. Retained HP will reset between fights.

Revive[]

Revive (復活) will Heal all party members for 100% of their Max HP if the ability owner is defeated. This includes any party members that are also defeated. Revive triggers after the enemy turn and can only occur one time per Subjugation.

If several units in the same party possess the Revive ability, then it can only be activated one time per battle. However, this does at least allow multiple uses throughout the subjugation. For example, a party having 2 units with Revive allows for 2 uses in a subjugation. Likewise, a party having 3 units with Revive allows for 3 uses.

Scaled Pursuit[]

Scaled Pursuit (割合追撃) is an extra hit done to enemies after the character has finished their attack. Unlike regular the Pursuit ability, Scaled Pursuit always does a fixed percentage of the enemy's Max HP. There are two types of Scaled Pursuit in the game. Scaled Pursuit (Weak) / 割合追撃(小) does 5% of the enemy's Max HP. The damage of Scaled Pursuit (Medium) / 割合追撃(中) is currently not known, though it likely does more than 5%.

Seal[]

Seal (封印) prevents the target from attacking or using their Skill so long as the ability is in effect. In addition, the target's Damage taken is significantly reduced (this does not apply to special attacks that are activated immediately after a Summon). Any abilities possessed by the target will not disappear during the Seal.

Special Evade[]

Special Evade (特殊回避) is an additional ability that some Evade units have. It occurs whenever a unit's regular Evade fails, acting as a guaranteed Evade that ignores any accuracy buffs that the enemy might have. It will trigger all related Evade abilities, such as Intercept and 'After Evading' buffs. Units have a set number of Special Evades that they can perform per battle (typically 3 times).

Spring Garden Creator[]

Spring Garden Creator (スプリングガーデンの創造主) is the signature ability of Arka. It allows her to count as being from every Nation in Spring Garden: Winter Rose, Banana Ocean, Blossom Hill, Lily Wood, Bergamot Valley, Lotus Lake, and Kodaibana. Therefore, she can benefit from every Attack/Damage up with Same Nation ability and can contribute towards any of the World Flower Incarnations' Power Seed ability.

Stealth[]

Stealth (隠密) causes enemy attacks to deprioritize the ability owner. Flower Knights with Stealth will often need to be kept alive in order to benefit the team. For example, most of Riko's abilities will only function if she is alive or are most effective when she is at 100% Max HP. Note that deprioritizing enemy attacks doesn't mean the owner will always be safe. If an enemy can hit all 5 Flower Knights in one attack, she will still be be hit.

There are two types of Stealth in the game: Stealth (Weak) / 隠密(小) and the basic Stealth / 隠密. The normal Stealth is 'stronger' than the Weak one, meaning enemies will deprioritize attacking a unit with the the normal Stealth over the Weak one.

If Provoke and Stealth are used together on a unit, both effects will cancel each other out.

Summon[]

Summon (召喚) allows the ability owner to call forth a familiar to fight alongside them. Their attacks are independent from their owner's and occur before your party's turn. Their Attack Power is equal to the Total Power of their owner - after Equipment and Flower Memories are accounted for. They are unaffected by abilities of other allies in the party and are unable to perform Critical Attacks.

Only one summon can be active at any given time during battle. If a summon already exists on the battlefield, then any subsequent summons will not occur. If two units fulfill their summon criteria on the same turn, then the front-most unit will summon.

Tarragon (Nova Vice-President of Hope) summons Stra (ストラ). Its attack can only hit Magic-weak enemies, targets all enemies, and uses 15x its Attack Power. On summon, Stra will activate Drachen Blitz (ドラヘンブリッツ) and attack using 35x its Attack Power on all enemies. Drachen Blitz also increases Damage taken for enemies by 70% until the battle ends, even after Stra leaves.

Bamboo summons Formless Samurai (無貌の古兵). Its attack can only hit Pierce-weak enemies, targets all enemies, and uses 10x its Attack Power. On summon, Formless Samurai will activate Moonlight Formation (月光陣) and attack using 15x its Attack Power on all enemies.

Sigillaria summons Light Crystal (光水晶). Its attack can only hit Magic-weak enemies, targets all enemies, and uses 5x its Attack Power. On summon, Light Crystal will activate Light Crystal Wedge (光水晶の楔) and attack using 8x its Attack Power on all enemies. Light Crystal Wedge also increases Damage taken for enemies by 30% until the battle ends, even after Light Crystal leaves.

Khepri summons Beneficial Scarab (スカラベの益虫). Its attack can only hit Blunt-weak enemies, targets all enemies, and uses 8x its Attack Power. On summon, Beneficial Scarab will activate Solis Infinitas (ソリス・インフィニタス) and attack using 10x its Attack Power on all enemies.

Hraesvelg summons Apostles of Thunder (天雷の使徒). Its attack can only hit Pierce-weak enemies, targets all enemies, and uses 100x its Attack Power. Its attacks also have an increased 200% Damage. On summon, Apostles of Thunder will activate Dark Lightning (常闇招ク雷光) and attack using 200x its Attack Power on all enemies. Dark Lightning also increases Damage taken for enemies by 50% until the battle ends, even after Apostles of Thunder leaves.

Super Counter[]

Super Counter (超反撃) is an additional ability that some Counter units have. It occurs whenever a unit activates their regular Counter and Defend at the same time, resulting in more damage than a regular Counter would achieve (typically 2x more).

Transform[]

Transform (変身) allows the ability owner to change appearance and abilities for a number of turns after a certain criteria is met. This ability does not carry over between battles and will cancel once the owner is defeated. The effects of Transformation vary greatly depending on the unit.

Vervain and Roman Chamomile cannot Transform more than once per battle. While Transformed, they possess 2 additional party-wide effects that are not displayed in their ability list. First, all allies in the party will be unable to perform Critical Attacks. Second, abilities in the party that increase Skill Damage will have their effect boosted by 10%. This affects Skill Damage abilities individually rather than cumulatively and they instead become multiplicative with each other. For example, Nerine will increase Skill Damage for allies by 30% instead of 20% thanks to the Transform effect.

Corbett, Nidhogg, and Tampala (Seven Sages of the Sun) can Transform multiple times per battle and do not possess either of the party-wide effects.

Star Rush on the other hand possesses both of the party-wide effects despite not having the Transform ability at all. Except these effects only affect her, apply from turn 1, and are permanent.

Midgardsorm has a unique type of Transform called Switch (ミズウォルム). Like Transform, the Switch ability: needs certain criteria to be met, does not carry over between battles, and will cancel once the owner is defeated. Midgardsorm can Switch multiple times per battle and does not possess either of the party-wide effects.

Silk Tree (Seven Sages of the Sun) cannot Transform more than once per battle. But unlike Vervain and Roman Chamomile, she does not possess either of the party-wide effects.
