| Description | Effective against flying foes. If foe initiates combat and uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff, grants Def/Res+6 to unit during combat. |
Notes
- When battling a Flying unit, damage is boosted by 50%.
- The Flying effective damage can be neutralized by effects such as
Neutralize Effective Against Flying or 
Fire Emblem.
- Has the same effect as
Distant Def 3. - "If foe initiates combat" means if a foe triggers combat during the enemy phase. The unit being initiated upon does not need to deal damage, nor be able to counterattack.
- However, if the effect is applied after combat, the unit being initiated upon must also survive it to fulfill this condition.
- The stat boost that can be applied during combat by Guard Bow is considered a temporary buff.
