Type(s) Passive (Type A) Game(s) Heroes

Svalinn Shield (Japanese: スヴェルの盾 Svǫl's Shield) is a passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; unlike most passive skills in Heroes, Svalinn Shield comes in only one tier. Units with Svalinn Shield negate all bonus damage that would have otherwise been done to them, in the vein of Path of Radiance's Full Guard and the Mystery of the Emblem version of Iote's Shield.

Svalinn Shield may be passed on to armored units only via the skill inheritance system.
