In regards to distant defense

So it works against distant attacks. Do counterattacks from dragons count as distant attacks so that distant defense would work even though dragons cannot initiate attacks from distance? This would apply to melee distant counters as well.

Misread the question. But yeah what the other user said

Well if that is the case, it looks like dragons have a pretty nice advantage vs casters since they can use distant defense against their main attacks and close defense against everyone else and still have the natural DC.

Nope, it applies to mages, daggers, bows, and healers

well i figured since dragon attacks applies against resistance and is counted as magic.

This should clear it up: https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/passive-skills/close-defense-3

However, if we look at how Deflect Magic works, Staff users aren’t actually counted as Magic users either. Dragonstone applies to dragons, Staff applies to healers, and Magic applies to mages.

Distant Defence specifically has to state; Bow, Dagger, Magic, and Staff, while Close Defence has to use Sword, Lance, Axe, or Dragonstone. Meaning they’re actually classed differently.

Magic does not equal magic damage.

hmmm maybe its tiime for some nowi and fae fun time with these skills....

Close/Distant def only works during enemy phase so counterattacks don't matter.
