Fortify
| ||||
|
Fortify (Japanese:リザーブReserve) is a high-level healingstaff which debuted inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is available in every game of the mainFire Emblem series. While also appearing inGaiden and its remake,Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, it instead served as awhite magic spell. It is almost unique in its ability to heal a very large number of units at once with a single cast: while the amount ofHP it restores is small-to-moderate and comparable to the basicHeal, it restores this amount to every allied unit within the staff's range, which in some games encompasses the entire battlefield. While its unique and potent abilities make it a valuable tool, it is held back by being rare and having very lowdurability.

Fortify is present as a skill on two cards inFire Emblem Cipher, both of which feature members of theBishop class:B01-032HN Innocent Bishop, Maria, andB05-015HN Saint of Bern, Elen. It is a more powerful version of theHeal skill available on other cards. It is a manual-activation skill which, for a cost of flipping 3 bonds, allows the player to choose two discarded cards in their Retreat Area which depict different characters from each other, and which do not depict the current user of the skill, and add those cards to their hand.
