Description	Foe cannot counterattack. After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 on target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions, and grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and allies within 2 spaces for 1 turn.

Notes

Has the same effect as Dazzling Staff 3.
Hliðskjálf can prevent the foe from counterattacking.
- A foe with skills such as Null C-Disrupt 4 or Brilliant Starlight will be able to counterattack.
- A foe with Mystic Boost 4 will only be able to counterattack against Staff units.
- A foe with Ice-Bound Brand, Nifl's Bite, or Holy Yule Blade will only be able to counterattack against ranged units.
If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Hliðskjálf is considered a Penalty.
- Any 【Penalty】 on a unit, including Penalties, lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have the penalty for their first action.
  - If the unit also has Grand Strategy, any Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
The stat increase that can be applied by Hliðskjálf is considered a Bonus.
- Any 【Bonus】 on a unit, including Bonuses, lasts until the start of that unit's next phase. If Bonuses are acquired during the enemy phase, they will disappear when the next player phase begins.

Veronica: Brave Princess	Assault 5	Hliðskjálf 5

In Norse mythology, Hliðskjálf is the high seat of the god Odin allowing him to see into all realms. In other words, it is Odin's throne.

In the context of Fire Emblem Heroes this corresponds with Valaskjálf, the tome used by ???: Masked Knight, which is named after Odin's throne room.
Veronica may be referencing her weapon's namesake in one of her castle quotes, where she comments on the distance she can see from atop her horse.
