Ward
- Ward is also an uncommon fan-created nickname for the character Wade from The Binding Blade.
| ||||
|
The Ward, also equally known as the Barrier, is an uncommon staff in the Fire Emblem series. This useful weapon raises a unit's resistance by seven points (five in Awakening), thus lessening the impact of magical attacks on them. However, the effect decreases by one point per turn. In this respect, the Ward works similarly to a Pure Water in all of its appearances.
The Ward staff first appeared in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, and it has been available in all games but Gaiden, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, and Fates. In Thracia 776, the Magic Up staff has a similar, albeit offensive-oriented, effect.
