Path of Radiance

Impregnable (Japanese: 鉄壁 Impregnable) known as Impenetrable in Engage, first appeared as an unused skill in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It has no proper English name or description, with the former being left in Japanese and the latter being a dummy placeholder caused by its lack of a proper description. Judging by its icon and name, it may have been intended to be an incarnation or relative of Pavise. In the final game, the skill has no functionality associated with it whatsoever and does nothing if one hacks the game to equip it on a unit.

Its proper debut would be in the spin-off game Warriors: Three Hopes where it is a class skill associated with the armored classes which are the Armored Knight, the Fortress Knight, and the Great Knight. Its effect is similar to the Warriors's rendition of the Armored Blow skill as it prevents the user from being knocked back by enemies's attacks when performing strong attacks.

In Engage, it is the engage skill of Emblem Hector, which grants the user enhanced defense and resistance if the foe initiates combat. As an engage skill, it can have additional effects depending on the unit type of the user.
