The Seed of Trust (絆の種 Kizuna no tane, lit. Bond Seed) is an item introduced to Fire Emblem Awakening. In Awakening, the Seed of Trust can only be used by a character who is part of a Pair Up duo, and, like its name suggests, will improve the support relationship of both characters. In Fates, the Seed of Trust can only be used by a character who is part of a Guard Stance duo. It functions in the exact manner as its Awakening form.
