Close Call (Japanese: 回避・一撃離脱 Avoidance · Hit-and-Run) is a four-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Close Call 1, Close Call 2, Close Call 3, and Close Call 4 in order from lowest to highest. Close Call, if its user is faster than their target, reduces any damage done to the user both during combat and from an area-of-effect special skill not associated with Røkkr Sieges based a multiple on the difference between the user's and foe's speed stats, with the user moving one space away after combat if they initiated combat; the multiple of the Speed difference increases with the skill's tier.
