Fortress Defense (Japanese: 守備の城塞 Defense Fortress) is a three-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Fortress Def 1, Fortress Def 2, and Fortress Def 3 in order from lowest to highest. Fortress Def boosts its user's defense, but reduces their attack; the size of the defense boost increases with the skill's tier.
