Type(s) Passive (Type C) First game Heroes

Darkling Dragon (Japanese: 闇の樹海の竜神 Dragon god of the dark sea of trees) is a passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; Darkling Dragon comes in only one tier. If they start their turn near any allies, Darkling Dragon boosts the defense and resistance of and prevents enemies from warping near the user and either their nearby support partners or allies with highest defense; additionally, when near allies, it reduces the foe's special cooldown charge, reduces the potency of damage-reducing effects, and triggers Savior against 2-range weapons.
