Fates

Swap (Japanese: 入れ替え Swap) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. Associated with the Spear Fighter class, it allows the user to switch places with any adjacent ally. It later appears in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia as a combat art linked with the Beloved Zofia, Saunion, and the Leather, Fugue and Emperor Shields in the base game as well as Lukas's Shield via DLC.
