Type(s) Passive (Type B) Game(s) Heroes

Special Spiral (Japanese: 奥義の螺旋 Esoteric Helix) is a three-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Special Spiral 1, Special Spiral 2, and Special Spiral 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Special Spiral skill allows the user to accelerate their special skill cooldown count at the end of combat if their special skill triggered anytime during the combat phase; the first tier of the skill only triggers upon the user initiating combat, while the second tier removes that restriction and the third tier enhances the cooldown acceleration.
