|
Fortify Def (Japanese: 守備の鼓舞 Defense Inspiration) is a four-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Fortify Def 1, Fortify Def 2, Fortify Def 3, and Fortify Def 4 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Fortify Def skill will grant allies adjacent to the user a boost to their Defense until the end of their next action; the size of the Defense boost increases with the skill's tier.
