Scherzos are songs that give a damage reduction to single actions that take more than 75% of your character's HP. Often used as an extra song for high level content.
* Damage is compared to the threshold after -DT gear.
* Multi-hit monster attacks do not count as a single action and will only proc if the individual hits exceed 75% of your character's HP, so it is still possible to be one-shotted by a multi-hit attack.
* Grants approximately:
::Damage Reduction = ([[Singing Skill]] + Instrument Skill - 350)/1000
* This is applied in a separate step after other forms of damage reduction, but adds with [[Earthen Armor]].
**The total cap from all sources for this reduction is -95%.
*Every Scherzo +1 given through equipment increases song duration by 10% and potency +1%.
**The maximum Scherzo bonus available from equipment is +8.
*[[File:Soul Voice Icon.png|link=|25px]] [[Soul Voice]] doubles the duration of this type of song.
*[[File:Marcato Icon.png||link=|25px]] [[Marcato]]'s effect on this type of song increases duration by 50%.
