Game(s)

Desperation or Alacrity (Japanese: 攻め立て Incessant Attack) is a three-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Desperation 1, Desperation 2, and Desperation 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Desperation skill reorders any of their follow-up attacks to right after their initial attack provided their current HP is below a certain threshold; the maximum HP threshold needed for activation increases with the tier of the skill.

The skill was introduced to the main series in Three Houses, where it is an ability obtained by mastering the Cavalier class. It retains the same effect and use it had in Heroes. In Engage, Alacrity is gained by equipping Lyn's Emblem Ring, or by inheriting it from her. Similar to Heroes, the skill gains multiple variations. Its activation criteria is changed to be based on the user's speed relative to the enemy's, rather than based on the user's current HP, with the speed threshold needed lessening as the ability is upgraded. With Alacrity++, the final tier, the threshold is the same as the one for a follow-up attack.
