Defense Feint (Japanese: 守備の共謀 Defense Conspiracy) is a three-tiered passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Def Feint 1, Def Feint 2, and Def Feint 3 in order from lowest to highest. When its user is involved in a Rally assist skill, Def Feint reduces the defense of enemies in cardinal directions of the user; the size of the drop increases with the skill's tier.
