Ancient Codex (Japanese: 古代魔道の稀書 rare book of ancient sorcery) is a weapon skill in the red tome category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of Canas. The Ancient Codex increases the damage of its user by 20% of either the user's or target's Resistance, depending on which of the two stats is greater, and boosts its user's Attack and Resistance during combat when the user is within three spaces of an ally.
