Firm Stance (仁王立ち, Nioudachi)? is a Passive skill.
Effect[]
Firm Stance automatically halves the damage the user takes in battle, including reflected damage, but nullifies their evasion. Hama and Mudo skills can still miss.
In Persona 5 Royal, Yusuke Kitagawa's traits "Scoundrel Eyes" and "Unparalleled Eyes" override Firm Stance's restraint, allowing the skill's user to dodge during the traits' activation.
In Persona 5 Strikers, Firm Stance only applies to auto-evasion; manual evasions will still work as intended.
