Speed/Defense Form (Japanese: 速さ守備の密集 Speed/Defense Close Formation) is a three-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Spd/Def Form 1, Spd/Def Form 2, and Spd/Def Form 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Spd/Def Form skill boost their Speed and Defense during combat based on the number of allies the user has within two spaces; the size of the boost increases with the skill's tier.
