Vantage (Japanese: 待ち伏せ Ambush) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. In all of its appearances, it allows the user to strike the enemy first when said enemy initiates an attack on the user during the enemy phase. The activation criteria vary from game to game, but typically involve the user being at 50% or less HP. In Heroes, it is a three-tiered type B passive skill (whose individiual tiers are known as Vantage 1, Vantage 2, and Vantage 3 in order from lowest to highest), and activates its effect when its HP is at or below a certain threshold; the amount of HP remaining needed to activate the skill increases with the skill's tier.
