Engage

Holy Stance (Japanese: 異形リベンジ Grotesque revenge) is a three-tiered skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Engage. It is gained by equipping Celica's Emblem Ring, or inheriting it from her. The skill sends a fixed percentage of damage done by an enemy Corrupted back to the attacker when they initiate combat, with the percentage increasing as the skill is upgraded.

When Celica is used by the enemy as a Dark Emblem, the skill becomes Unholy Stance (Japanese: リベンジ Revenge), which instead sends damage done by non-Corrupted enemies back to the attacker.
