Type(s) Passive (Type B) Game(s) Heroes

Speed/Defense Near Trace (Japanese: 速さ守備の近影 Speed/Defense near image) is a three-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are S/D Near Trace 1, S/D Near Trace 2, and S/D Near Trace 3 in order from lowest to highest. Units with an S/D Near Trace skill drop their target's Speed and Defense during combat—an amount increasing with the skill's tier—and can make an additional movement after combat, the use of an assist skill, or the destruction of an Aether Raids structure based on how many squares remained in their movement beforehand.
