Type(s) Passive (Type A) Game(s) Heroes

Sturdy Stance (Japanese: 鬼神金剛の構え Fierce God Vajra Stance) is a three-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Sturdy Stance 1, Sturdy Stance 2, and Sturdy Stance 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Sturdy Stance skill boost their Attack and Defense during combat whenever its user is attacked; the size of this boost is affected by the skill's tier, and the third tier gains an effect that decelerates the foe's special skill cooldown for each strike.
