KO Resistance (Guaranteed)

Buff ID	7
Passive ID	N/A

Guaranteed KO Resistance (often referred to as Guaranteed Angel Idol, Angel Idol, or simply AI for short) is a buff that grants the target a guaranteed chance of surviving an attack that would otherwise kill them, leaving them with 1 HP.

KO Resistance Negation can ignore Angel Idol buffs, killing the target.

Stacking[]

KO Resistance effects from different sources can stack. This includes:

Leader Skill
Spheres
Extra Skill
Elgif
SP Enhancements
Brave Burst

The priority order in which Angel Idol effect from different sources is used in the order of Leader Skill, Friend Leader Skill, Sphere Slot 1, Sphere Slot 2, Extra Skill, Elgif, SP Enhancement option, and Brave Burst.

Only one type of conditional Guaranteed KO Resistance buff can be active at a time. For example, Immortal Firewing Blaze equipped with Sacred Staff will undergo a scenario in which the conditional KO Resistance buff Sacred Staff has cannot stack with Blaze's conditional KO resistance buff. Instead, the condition that fulfills last will take effect.

Interactions with DoT[]

Damage from DoT, Piercing DoT and Poison that would otherwise bring a unit with a Guaranteed KO Resistance buff active to 0 HP will cause KO resistance to take effect.

Interactions with Damage Counter[]

Due to Damage Counter being unable to bring units to 0 HP, KO resistance does not take effect when a unit affected by Damage Counter is brought to 1 HP.
