I decided to make a separate thread instead of just throwing this in the Math Redux forum since the results are fairly useful and different than what was commonly believed.
Migawari will annul damage from attacks that are a certain percentage of your max HP. This activation percentage is directly affects by your ninjutsu skill during casting.
-At 323 skill, the activation % is about 95%
-At 375 skill, the activation % is about 83%
-At 383 skill, the activation % is about 81%
This suggests around 20 skill = an extra 5% on activation %. (This is an estimate, further testing is needed.)
Having AF3+2 Body equipped while Migawari is active will raise the activation % by around 10%.
AF3+2 needs to be equipped when taking the damage to gain the boost. (Like other AF3, the bonus is only granted while the piece is equipped. Casting Migwari naked and putting on AF3 body after will still grant you the bonus.)
Testing/Data @ 323 Ninjutsu Skill:
No AF3+2:
1004 HP (99.6%) - Annul
1024 HP (97.7%) - Annul
1049 HP (95.3%) - Annul
1064 HP (94.0%) - Damaged
AF3+2 on during Cast + Damage:
1301 HP (76.8%) - Damaged
1265 HP (79.1%) - Damaged
1184 HP (84.5%) - Damaged
1154 HP (86.7%) - Annul
Cast Migawari in AF3+2 Body, then remove:
1154 HP (86.7%) - Damaged
Cast Migawari naked, then equip AF3+2 body:
1154 HP (86.7%) - Annul
I have SS for most of this if anyone wants them, but they don't realli say much. Here's the one I uploaded before I got lazy:
