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 less than 50% HP left. This skill is known as Gale (烈風の技 Reppū no waza) in TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga.
