Path of Radiance

Provoke (Japanese:挑発Provocation) is a combatskill which debuted inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It increases the chance of the skill's user being targeted by enemies during the enemy phase instead of any other allied units in the range of enemies. While the skill may seem detrimental given how purposely luring enemies into attacking units may increase the likelihood that they may getkilled, it can be very useful for luring opponents away from the player's main forces. As such, this skill is very well suited for a user that can tank hits and/or avoid attacks reliably.

Trivia

  • The Provoke skill being assigned to Shinon and Skrimir by default may be a reference to their character personalities, with the former being snarky and snide toward others and the latter being hot-blooded and fierce when it comes to battle.
