Attack Ploy (Japanese: 攻撃の謀策 Attack Scheme) is a three-tiered passive type C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are known as Atk Ploy 1, Atk Ploy 2, and Atk Ploy 3 in order from lowest to highest. Atk Ploy reduces the attack of foes in cardinal directions of the user with less resistance; the size of the attack drop increases with the skill's tier.
