Understand This Is Me!

Useful when…

  • Consider it for a Preservation wearer whose DEF and attacking Ultimate can benefit from its effects.

How does the Ultimate effect work?

At S1, the wearer gains 16% DEF. When the wearer uses Ultimate, it adds damage based on 60% of the wearer's DEF, once per enemy target during that Ultimate. At S5, the DEF bonus is 32% and the added damage is based on 120% of DEF. This is DEF-scaled added damage, not a damage multiplier.

How do other Preservation options differ?

Amber grants DEF and further DEF when the wearer's current HP percentage is below 50%. Concert for Two grants DEF and increases the wearer's damage for each on-field character with a Shield. Day One of My New Life grants DEF and team All-Type RES after battle entry.

What can be upgraded?

Promotion advances the Light Cone through six stages. Superimposition increases the DEF bonus and DEF-based added damage; supplied examples show a sacrifice copy for selected steps. The effect remains limited to once per enemy target per Ultimate.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The DEF-scaled added damage is tied to Ultimate and limited to once per target per use.
  • Its added damage depends on the wearer's DEF.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating the DEF-scaled added damage as a multiplier.
  • Counting the added damage repeatedly on one target during one Ultimate.
