Defense/Resistance Oath (Japanese: 守備魔防の信義 Defense/Resistance Loyalty) is a three-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Def/Res Oath 1, Def/Res Oath 2, and Def/Res Oath 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Def/Res Oath skill will receive a temporary boost to their Defense and Resistance if they start the turn adjacent to an ally; the Defense and Resistance boosts increase with the skill's tier.
