Attack/Defense Bond (Japanese: 攻撃守備の絆 Attack/Defense Bond) is a four-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Atk/Def Bond 1, Atk/Def Bond 2, Atk/Def Bond 3, and Atk/Def Bond 4 in order from lowest to highest. Units with an Atk/Def Bond skill boost their Attack and Defense during combat provided they have an adjacent ally; the size of the Attack and Def boosts are affected by the skill's tier, with the fourth tier granting an additional effect neutralizing penalties to the stats during combat.
