Skill (Japanese: 技 Skill) is the stat that defines the unit's hit rate and also their critical hit rate. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates it is used to calculate the activation rate of many offensive skills such as Aether or Sol. Items such as the Secret Book increase the unit's skill permanently.

Trivia
Early English screenshot of Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
- Early English screenshots of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia indicated skill on the stat screen as "TEC", like the Japanese version. This was changed later in development of the translation; more recent English screenshots show "SKILL" on the stat screen.
- In the three Japanese Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem prototypes (0205, 0219, and The Sacred Stones), skill is known as "Tech" in some debug-related functions.
- Skill is the only stat to not have an abbreviation in the English games. Luck was not abbreviated in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade or The Sacred Stones, but was abbreviated from Path of Radiance onward.
