Ascertainment (Japanese: 見極め) is an ability added in Shard of Dreams that is shared by 6 puppets. Opponent's Ability does not boost their attacks.
| Notes
|
It cuts any "damage boost" abilities, it however also cuts the debuff of certain abilities like Two of a Kind and Placid, meaning it can actually benefit your opponent when this ability is active, because Extra Parsee's Two of a Kind will be doing 2 hits of 100% damage instead of 2 hits of 60% damage, and Power Yukari will not receive the 50% cut from Placid, meaning she will be dealing normal damage during the first 5 turns before Serious takes effect.
