Vantage (Skill)

Vantage (alt. Ambush) is a character skill from most of the games where skills are implemented. It allows a character to attack first when they are the defender a battle in some conditions. Vantage is one half of the popular Vantage/Wrath skill combination.

It was introduced in Fire Emblem: The Genealogy of the Holy War. Here, it came into play if a holder was reduced to less than half of their Maximum Hitpoints, and they would attack first in every defencive battle as long as this remained the case.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, the skill was enhanced and allowed a holder to attack first on defence unconditionally. This remained the case in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
