Close Counter (Japanese: 近距離反撃 Short-range Counterattack) is a passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; unlike most passive skills in Heroes, Close Counter comes in only one tier. Units with Close Counter are able to launch a counter-attack regardless of the range between the user and its target.

Close Counter returns as an ability in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where it is obtained by raising a unit's skill level in bows. In this game, it simply allows bow-wielding units to counter-attack adjacent opponents.

Trivia

  • Takumi having the skill is a reference to his appearances in the Conquest route of Fire Emblem Fates, in which he has the Point Blank skill which allows him to attack and counterattack at 1 range. Unlike Fates however, he cannot initiate combat at 1 range in Heroes.
