Heroes
Enables【Canto (Ally 5)】. Grants Atk+3.

If unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice.

For each foe within 5 spaces of unit, unit can
move to any of the nearest spaces that are two
spaces away from that foe (unless space is
impassable terrain).

At start of turn, inflicts Atk/Res-7 and
【Sabotage】on closest foes and any foes
within 2 spaces of those foes through their
next actions.

If either unit or foe has an active【Bonus】
or【Penalty】effect, grants bonus to unit's
Atk/Res during combat = 20% of unit's Res
at start of combat + 6.

【Canto (Ally 5)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure
destruction, unit can move to a space adjacent
to any ally within 5 spaces.

(Once per turn. Cannot attack or assist. 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.
Granted movement treated as Warp movement.)

【Sabotage】
Inflicts penalty on unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res
during combat = highest penalty on each
stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces
of unit through its next action. Calculates
each stat penalty independently.

【Bonus】
All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn
only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill
like Rally or Hone and positive status effects
(extra movement or effects like Dominance).

【Penalty】
All effects that last "on foe through its next
action." Includes penalties inflicted by a skill
like Panic or Threaten and negative status
effects (preventing counterattacks, restricting
movement, or the effects of a skill like
Triangle Adept or Guard).

Trivia

  • Nova has a similar icon and animation toSurge andElsurge, two other tomes also introduced inEngage that notably lack a third more powerful version of themselves, unlike theirFire,Wind, andThunder counterparts. However, Nova's effects are completely different as it lacks their melee-only range and guaranteed hit.
