Aegis
| ||||
|
Aegis (Japanese: 聖盾 Holy Shield) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is a direct counterpart to Pavise as it functions in games since Awakening, shielding the user from the full force of attacks from weapon types which are able to attack indirectly, including bows, magic, dragonstones and, in Fates, daggers, breath, and ballistae. Awakening additionally contains an advanced version of the skill, known as Aegis+, which will always activate, though it is exclusive to enemies on Lunatic+ difficulty. Heroes gives Aegis an effect of halving damage dealt by all ranged attacks; it retains this effect in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, but the skill is unused and is not linked to any equipment. In Three Houses, it is a class skill for the Paladin class. Additionally, it and Pavise are item skills of all non-weapon Heroes' Relics when equipped by a unit with the compatible crest.

Other appearances
Fire Emblem Cipher
Aegis is present as a skill on two cards in Fire Emblem Cipher, both of which feature members of the Paladin class: B01-064HN Crimson-Eyed Bull, Sully and B01-064HN Green-Eyed Panther, Stahl. It is a Class Change Skill which can only become active if its user has changed class from a base-class card instead of being deployed as these advanced-class cards. If this criteria is fulfilled, then the user cannot be attacked with bow, tome, or dragonstone attacks from enemy units situated in the enemy's Rearguard.
