Path of Radiance

Parity (Japanese: 能力勝負 Ability Duel) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. When activated, it negates all skills and bonuses for both the user and the enemy, leveling the playing field and forcing both units to rely solely on their stats for the fight. In Path of Radiance, Parity always activates when its bearer is involved in a battle. In Radiant Dawn, Parity cannot be activated on the enemy phase, as it necessitates specifically being activated by command when moving the user.
