Underdog (Japanese:下剋上Weak-beats-Strong) is askill which debuted inFire Emblem Awakening. Associated with theVillager class, it boosts the user's accuracy and dodging capabilities when facing a higher-leveled opponent. InFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it is obtained by certain units upon mastering theBrawler class, and increases the damage dealt by the user in proportion to the level difference between them and their enemy, provided the user's level is lower than the enemy's.
