Speed/Defense Finish (Japanese: 速さ守備の秘奥 Speed/Defense mystery) is a four-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Spd/Def Finish 1, Spd/Def Finish 2, Spd/Def Finish 3, and Spd/Def Finish 4 in order from lowest to highest. When its user is near an ally, Spd/Def Finish boosts their speed and defense, and boosts their damage if their special skill is ready to trigger or has triggered; the speed, defense, and damage boosts increase with the skills tier.
