Nihil
Nihil (見切り Abandon) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Its primary purpose across all of its appearances is to temporarily disable the combat skills of enemy units, preventing them being used upon the bearer of Nihil. In Radiant Dawn, the skill Mantle also incorporates the effects of Nihil.
