Vantage (Japanese:待ち伏せAmbush) is a combatskill which debuted inFire 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 lessHP.Awakening features a stronger variation, known asVantage+, that activates regardless of the user's HP, exclusive to enemies onLunatic+ difficulty. InHeroes, it is a three-tiered type B passive skill (whose individiual tiers areVantage 1,Vantage 2, andVantage 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.
