Vantage (待ち伏せ Machibuse, also known as Ambush in the Japanese versions, Initiative in the French version, Vantaggio in the Italian version, Emboscada, lit. Ambush, in the Spanish version) is a recurring skill in the Fire Emblem franchise. It allows the user to initiate an attack when an enemy engages him/her in battle.
This skill is first introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, in which the user will always attack first if the user has only half of his HP left or below.
This skill is later integrated into the more advanced skill systems of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, where its effect is made more noticeable. This skill may be combined with a number of other useful skills to form extremely effective combat strategies. However, in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Vantage becomes dependent on the user's speed stat, meaning these strategies are not as consistent in terms of execution.
In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Vantage returns back to functioning how it did in the Judgral series in terms of automatically activating when the user's HP is under half.
This skill is known as Gale (烈風の技 Reppū no waza) in TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga.
