Imitate
| ||||
|
Imitate (Japanese: 変身 Transform) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It is exclusive to Xane, the only member of the Freelancer class, and allows him to transform into a near-exact duplicate of an ally for a short period of time. The skill has several limitations, in that Xane cannot copy his allies' weapons and items and has to supply his own, and certain skills and abilities cannot be imitated.
