Special Fighter (Japanese: 奥義隊形 Esoteric Formation) is a four-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Special Fighter 1, Special Fighter 2, Special Fighter 3, and Special Fighter 4 in order from lowest to highest. Special Fighter increases the user's special cooldown charge and reduces their foe's; the HP threshold required for this skill to take effect is affected by the skill's tier.
