At the start of enemy phase, Bitter Winter applies Divine Vein (Ice) to spaces near foes; it inflicts stat debuffs on nearby foes, increases the speed required for their follow-up attacks, and reduces the speed required for their that of their targets; boosts its user's stats, boosts the damage its user deals and reduces that of the foe, and neutralizes effects preventing the user's follow-up attacks; and when its user's speed is not much lower than the foe's, it grants Potent Follow 100%.

Heroes	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of enemy phase (except for in Pawns of Loki), if there is no【Divine Vein (Ice)】currently applied by unit or allies, applies【Divine Vein (Ice)】 to spaces 2 spaces away from the nearest foe with the lowest Def for 1 turn (excludes spaces occupied by a foe, destructible terrain other than Divine Vein, or warp spaces in Rival Domains). For foes within 5 rows or 5 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks, increases Spd difference necessary for foe to make a follow-up attack by X, and decreases Spd difference necessary for foe's target to make a follow-up attack by X during combat (if target's Def > foe's Def, X = 10 + difference between Def stats × 2; otherwise, X = 10). Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+10 to unit, unit deals +25 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 15 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 10 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers 【Potent Follow 100%】during combat. 【Divine Vein (Ice)】 Applies the following status on space: Foes treat space as impassable terrain while status is active, but status is destructible (with 1 HP). Allies can move into and occupy space. If any allies occupy spaces with Divine Vein (Ice) applied, attacks targeting those spaces will hit the ally over destroying the Divine Vein (Ice). (Does not trigger in Pawns of Loki.) 【Potent Follow 100%】 Triggers an additional follow-up attack immediately after unit's standard follow-up attack and deals damage = 100% of unit's normal attack damage (if unit cannot make a follow-up attack, this effect triggers when the standard follow-up attack would occur; this effect is treated like a follow-up attack, so effects like "reduce damage by X%" still apply, but this effect is not affected by effects that prevent follow-ups or "attacks twice" effects; only highest value applied; does not stack).	奥義が発動しやすい（発動カウント－１） ロキの盤上遊戯を除く敵軍ターン開始時、 マップ上に自軍の【天脈・氷】が付与されたマスが 存在しなければ、最も近い敵のうち、最も守備が低い 敵から２マス離れたマスに【天脈・氷】を付与 （敵軍がいるマス、破壊可能地形のマス（天脈以外）、 　制圧戦のワープマスは除く）（１ターン） 自身を中心とした縦５列と横５列の敵は、 戦闘中、攻撃、速さ、守備、魔防－５、絶対追撃を無効、 自分の追撃の速さ条件＋○、戦闘相手の追撃の速さ条件－○ （○は、戦闘相手の守備が自分より高い時は 　１０＋守備の差×２、そうでない時は１０） 戦闘中、攻撃、速さ、守備、魔防＋１０、 与えるダメージ＋２５（範囲奥義を除く）、 受けるダメージ－１５（範囲奥義を除く）、 自分の追撃不可を無効、かつ 追撃の速さ条件を－１０した状態で 追撃の速さ条件を満たしている時 （絶対追撃、追撃不可は含まない）、 戦闘中、【神速追撃：ダメージ１００％】を発動 【天脈・氷】 付与されたマスは以下の状態になる 敵軍は進入不可、破壊可能（ＨＰ１） 自軍は進入、および、待機可能 【天脈・氷】上に自軍がいる場合は 【天脈・氷】の破壊より自軍への攻撃が優先される （ロキの盤上遊戯では付与されない） 【神速追撃：ダメージ１００％】 自分の通常の追撃の直後、さらに追撃が発動する 神速追撃で与えるダメージは通常の攻撃時の１００％ （自分が追撃できない時は、通常の追撃のタイミングで発動） （神速追撃は追撃として扱い、 　「ダメージを◯◯％軽減」等の対象となる、ただし、 　追撃不可、２回攻撃の効果は受けない） （同系統効果複数時、最大値適用）
