Defense/Resistance Oath (Japanese: 守備魔防の信義 Defense/Resistance Loyalty) is a three-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Def/Res Oath 1, Def/Res Oath 2, and Def/Res Oath 3 in order from lowest to highest. Def/Res Oath boosts its user's defense and resistance if they start the turn adjacent to an ally; the size of the boosts increases with the skill's tier.
