Play (Japanese: 奏でる Play) is a skill which debuted as a command in The Binding Blade, then debuted as a defined visible skill as an assist skill appearing in Fire Emblem Heroes. An analogue to other games' Dance and Sing skills and commands primarily associated with the bards of Elibe, it allows other units to perform another action after they have already done one.
