Notes[edit | edit source]

Main article: Skill interaction

If a foe as a Special cooldown charge +# effect and a unit has Special cooldown charge -# effect, the effects will stack.
- For example, if a unit with Guard 3 attacks an enemy with Steady Breath, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
If used alongside a skill that also inflicts Special cooldown charge -#, only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
- This means that if a unit has "Special cooldown charge -1" and "Special cooldown charge -1" from two different skills, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" is active.

This skill appears in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, where it was named Cancel and prevented enemies from counterattacking.
- The Japanese names of Cancel in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Guard in Fire Emblem Heroes are the same, however, the name was changed for the English versions.
