Aegis is a skill introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening.

History in the Series

In Awakening, Aegis halves damage from Bows, Tomes, and Dragonstones. The activation is (Skill)%. Aegis will not activate from Dual Strikes. This was changed in Fates, and it can now activate on any kind of attack with those weapons. It is learned by Paladins at Level 15.

In Warriors: Three Hopes, rather than reducing damage, the ability instead grants a chance to nullify any damage incurred from a bow or tome, with activation being based on the unit's Dex.

In Heroes, Aegis is a special type skill which halves damage inflicted by attacks from foes two spaces away.
