Steady Stance
Steady Stance (Japanese: 金剛の構え Diamond Stance) is a four-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Steady Stance 1, Steady Stance 2, Steady Stance 3, and Steady Stance 4 in order from lowest to highest. Steady Stance boosts its user's defense when they are attacked; the size of the boost increases with the skill's tier, and the fourth tier additionally reduces the foe's special cooldown charge. Steady Stance entered the main series in Engage.
