Impregnable (Japanese:鉄壁Impregnable) known asImpenetrable inEngage, first appeared as anunusedskill inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
InPath of Radiance, it has no proper English name or description, with the former being left in Japanese and the latter being a dummy placeholder caused by its lack of a proper description. Judging by its icon and name, it may have been intended to be an incarnation or relative ofPavise. In the final game, the skill has no functionality associated with it whatsoever and does nothing if one hacks the game to equip it on a unit.
Its proper debut would be in the spin-off gameWarriors: Three Hopes where it is aclass skill associated with the armored classes which are theArmored Knight, theFortress Knight, and theGreat Knight. Its effect is similar to theWarriors's rendition of theArmored Blow skill as it prevents the user from being knocked back by enemies's attacks when performing strong attacks.
InEngage, it is the engage skill ofEmblem Hector, which grants the user enhanceddefense andresistance if the foe initiates combat. As an engage skill, it can have additional effects depending on the unit type of the user.
