Light and Dark (Japanese: 光と闇と Light and Darkness) is a passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; unlike most passive skills in Heroes, Light and Dark comes in only one tier. Light and Dark is a powerful skill, as during combat, all of the target's stats are slightly dropped, neutralizes any bonuses granted to the target by skills such as a Fortify or Rally, and disables any of the target's effects that would target the lower of the user's defenses.
