Stall Ploy (Japanese: 空転の奇策 Idling Strategy) is a three-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Stall Ploy 1, Stall Ploy 2, and Stall Ploy 3 in order from lowest to highest. Stall Ploy turns effects that grant an extra space of movement into effects restricting movement to one space on foes in cardinal directions of the user with sufficiently less HP; the HP difference required to decreases with the skill's tier.
