Windsweep (Japanese:風薙ぎWindsweep) is a three-tiered passive type Bskill which debuted inFire Emblem Heroes, later appearing inEchoes: Shadows of Valentia andThree Houses; inHeroes, the individual tiers of the skill areWindsweep 1,Windsweep 2, andWindsweep 3 in order from lowest to highest. InHeroes, units with a Windsweep skill will not perform a follow-up attack and, should theirspeed be above a certain figure higher than a target wielding asword,lance,axe,bow, ordagger skill, will also stop the target's counterattack; the Speed difference threshold required to stop the target's counterattack decreases with the skill's tier.
InEchoes: Shadows of Valentia andThree Houses, it appears as a combat art. InEchoes, it is linked to theIron Sword in the base game as well asFernand's Lance viaDLC, while inThree Houses it is learned by raising the Swordskill level of certain units. It grants its user a smallcritical rate boost while also negating any counterattacks dealt against its user.
Windsweep gains another incarnation inFire Emblem Engage. Although it still retains its basic functionality of preventing the foe's counterattack, it is now a triggered skill with a random chance to activate based on the user'sluck, and requires the user to be wielding a sword.
