Cancel, also known as Guard, (Japanese: キャンセル Cancel) is a combat skill which first appeared in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, it is a personal skill equippable to any unit that, when activated, gives successful hits by its user the added ability of completely preventing the enemy from counter-attacking or double attacking them afterward for the rest of the round of combat, temporarily protecting the user from the risk of being damaged by the enemy; in Heroes, it is a three-tiered type B passive skill (whose individiual tiers are known as Guard 1, Guard 2, and Guard 3 in order from lowest to highest, the choice to use the Guard name may be related to it being added to the game in the Path of Radiance-themed World of Radiance update), and is a skill that slows down the target's cooldown for special skills when the user's HP is at or above a certain threshold at the start of combat; the percentage of total HP required to activate the skill presumably decreases with the skill's tier.
