Blue Lion Rule

Blue Lion Rule (Japanese: 蒼き獅子王 King of the Blue Lions) is a passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; Blue Lion Rule comes in only one tier. When its user's defense is higher than their foe's, Blue Lion Rule reduces the damage its user takes based on the defense difference, and it guarantees its user a follow-up attack when the foe initiates combat.
