Attack/Defense Bond (Japanese: 攻撃守備の絆 Attack/Defense Bond) is a four-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Atk/Def Bond 1, Atk/Def Bond 2, Atk/Def Bond 3, and Atk/Def Bond 4 in order from lowest to highest. Atk/Def Bond boosts its user's attack and defense when they are adjacent to an ally; the size of the boosts increases with the skill's tier, with the fourth tier additionally neutralizing penalties to those stats.
