Thicket

A Thicket is a terrain space in the Fire Emblem series. Units positioned in Thickets receive a bonus to Defense and Avoid. The bonus received depends on the game. In the GBA Fire Emblems (Fuuin no Tsurugi, Blazing Sword, and Sacred Stones), Thickets give +1 to Def and +20 to Avoid. In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, Thickets still give +1 to Def but only +10 to Avoid. In Shadow Dragon, Thickets only give +10 to Avoid and no Def bonus whatsoever. In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, there are special Thickets called Healhedges, which will restore about 10% of a unit's health at the beginning of a turn. It is well advised for the player to position units in Thickets whenever possible, so that enemies cannot use them.
