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

Trivia

Is feh fort def res 1 error.png
  • When Fort. Def/Res was added to the game in the Brave Redux update, its icons used the borders of a traditional three-tier skill, with the lowest tier using a bronze border (shown right) and the highest a gold. In the Legendary Hero Eirika: Graceful Resolve update, the icons where altered to their current state.
    • The character reveal trailer for the Brave Redux update shows the original tier 3 icon alongside its listing for Fort. Def/Res 3 in Kliff's listing.[1]
