Special Fighter (Japanese: 奥義隊形 Esoteric Formation) is a three-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Special Fighter 1, Special Fighter 2, and Special Fighter 3 in order from lowest to highest. Special Fighter allows the user to both accelerate their own special skill cooldown and slow down that of their target; the HP threshold required for this skill to take effect is affected by the skill's tier.
