Defense Ploy (Japanese: 守備の謀策 Defense Scheme) is a three-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Def Ploy 1, Def Ploy 2, and Def Ploy 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with a Defense Ploy skill allows their wielders to lower the Defense of foes in cardinal directions from the user whose Resistance is below the user's through their following actions; the size of the Defense drop is affected by the skill's tier.
