Defense +
| ||||
|
Defense + (Japanese: 守備+ Defense +) is a series of skills which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. As the name suggests, they increase a unit's defense by a set amount, and are typically associated with high-defense classes such as the Knight. The Defense + series has appeared throughout the series since Awakening, including in the spin-offs Heroes and Warriors.
