Heroes

Speed/Defense Ruse (Japanese: 速さ守備の大共謀 Great Speed/Defense Conspiracy) is a four-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Spd/Def Ruse 1, Spd/Def Ruse 2, Spd/Def Ruse 3, and Spd/Def Ruse 4 in order from lowest to highest. When its user is involved in a Rally assist skill, Spd/Def Ruse reduces the speed, defense, and special cooldown charge of enemies in cardinal directions of both units involved; the size of the drops increases with the skill's tier.
