Defiant Spd (Japanese: 速さの覚醒 Awakening speed) is a three-tiered passive type A skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; the individual tiers of the skill are Defiant Spd 1, Defiant Spd 2, and Defiant Spd 3 in order from lowest to highest. Defiant Spd boosts its user's speed when they start a turn with low HP; the size of the boost increases with the skill's tier.

The skill was later introduced to the main series in Three Houses, where it is an ability obtained by mastering the Bow Knight class. It retains a similar effect and use to what it had in Heroes.
