Three Houses

Alert Stance (Japanese:警戒姿勢Vigilance Stance) is anability which debuted inFire Emblem: Three Houses. It is learned by increasing a unit'sskill level in flying. It grants the unit a significant boost inavoid if they end their turn with no action. As the user's skill level increases, the ability is later replaced with a higher-level version of the ability calledAlert Stance+. InWarriors: Three Hopes, it is instead associated with thePegasus Knight class as well as theFalcon Knight for the higher-level variant and increases the time the user spent invulnerable when dodging.

InFire Emblem Heroes, its name is translated asGuard Bearing. In this game, it is a three-tiered passive type Bskill; the individual tiers of the skill areGuard Bearing 1,Guard Bearing 2, andGuard Bearing 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Guard Bearing skill can reduce the damage dealt by the first strike the user faces on the opposing phase.
