Even though permanent death has been present in the series from the beginning, ways to avert it have also been present from the beginning. {{FE1}} introduced the [[Regalia|rare]] [[Aum]] staff, which allows a suitably [[Weapon level|talented]] user of [[Staff|staves]] to revive a single deceased unit. Later games introduced similar staves, with {{FE4}} featuring [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]] and {{title|Fates}} introducing [[Bifröst]].

There are numerous restrictions placed on the use of these staves to counteract their appealing power. Both Aum and Valkyrie have a very limited set of users; Aum is only usable by [[Elice]] in the original games (with [[Maria]], [[Yumina]], [[Caeda]], [[Minerva]], and [[Sheena]] being added in the remakes), and Valkyrie is only usable by [[Claud]] and his [[Inheritance|staff-wielding son]]. In ''Shadow Dragon'', Aum cannot be used to revive the character who was sacrificed as a [[decoy]] in the game's prologue.  Bifröst will only revive units who died on the same map it is being used in, and will not revive anybody who died before then.  All three of these staves can only be used once before they [[Durability|break]], and although Valkyrie can be repaired through the [[Castle|weapon repair shops]] present in ''Genealogy'', doing so is extremely expensive.

{{FE2}} and {{FE15}} have a similar mechanic with the lion-head statues found in the game's [[Mila Shrine]]s. Three of the game's shrines have their lion heads allow the player to revive characters, with each being able to revive just three characters. Owing to the split paths of [[Alm]] and [[Celica]], the player cannot combine the use of these statues. In ''Gaiden'', the lion heads technically allow the player a way to transfer units between the two parties; for instance, if a unit dies in Alm's party, Celica can revive them at one of her lion heads and they will join her party instead. (This is no longer possible in ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia''.)
