Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Penetrate (Japanese: 切り抜け Cut Through), known as Run Through in Engage, is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. A weapon skill linked to the Brave Sword and Zweihänder in the base game as well as Fernand's Lance via DLC, Penetrate grants its user an Avoid boost and also allows the user to move forward one space after combat. In Engage, it returned as a class skill and no longer boosts its user's stats when used.
