Type Item (Archanea games) Skill (Awakening) B Skill and Sacred Seal (Heroes) First game Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem

Iote's Shield (Japanese: アイオテの盾 Iote's Shield) is an accessory item appearing in the Fire Emblem series. It originally negated all bonus damage against whomever held it, but was revised in later installments to specifically provide its effects only toward flight classes, along the lines of Elibe's Delphi Shield and Magvel's Fili Shield.

From Awakening onward, it is a skill instead. It performs the same function by negating a flying unit's weakness to bows and wind magic. In Awakening, it is exclusively available through downloadable content; in Heroes, it is available to Michalis as a B-type passive skill which can be passed to other flying units via the skill inheritance system, and is also available as a Sacred Seal. In Warriors, it once again is able to be used by non-flying units, and negates any type of bonus damage.
