Hold Out
| ||||
|
Hold Out (Japanese:踏ん張りStanding Firm) is a four-tieredskill which debuted inFire Emblem Engage. It is gained by equippingRoy'sEmblem Ring, or inheriting it from him. Hold Out lets its user survive otherwise lethal damage when the user is above a certainHP threshold at the start of combat. The user will survive all damage within that round of combat, leaving them with 1 HP remaining if they would have died. The HP threshold lowers with increasing tiers of the skill, all the way down to just 2 HP at Hold Out+++.
