Nihil
From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Nihil (Japanese: 見切り Seeing All), known as Perceptive in Engage, is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Its primary purpose across most of its appearances is to temporarily disable any and all combat skills used by enemy units, preventing them being used upon the bearer of Nihil. In Radiant Dawn, it is particularly important in the Part IV, Endgame, owing to its ability to protect its user from both the mastery skills used by its bosses and from the counterattacking effect of the Aurora skill in the final stage; additionally, the skill Mantle also incorporates the effects of Nihil.
