Genealogy of the Holy War

Nihil (Japanese:見切りSeeing All), known asPerceptive inEngage, is a combatskill which debuted inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Its primary purpose across most of its appearances is to temporarily disable any and all combat skills used by enemy units, preventing them being used upon the bearer of Nihil. InRadiant Dawn, it is particularly important in thePart IV, Endgame, owing to its ability to protect its user from both themastery skills used by its bosses and from the counterattacking effect of theAurora skill in the final stage; additionally, the skillMantle also incorporates the effects of Nihil.
