Three Houses

Anchor (Japanese: 不動 Fixed) is an ability which debuted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is an uncommon ability exclusively held by non-player units, preventing them from being moved by external sources. It reappeared in Warriors: Three Hopes as an ability exclusive to the Fortress Knight class, similar to the Impregnable skill, it sometimes blocks enemies's attacks that would have otherwise knocked back the user.
