Higher Ground (Japanese: 縄張り・護り手・遠 Territory · guardian · distant) is a one-tiered passive type-C skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes. Higher Ground prevents foes from warping into spaces near the user, and activates Savior when a 2-range foe initiates combat against a nearby ally.

If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects do not occur.	射程１の敵は自分の周囲３マス以内への スキル効果によるワープ移動不可 射程２の敵は自分の周囲４マス以内への スキル効果によるワープ移動不可 （いずれも、すり抜けを持つ敵には無効、 　制圧戦の拠点等の地形効果によるワープ移動は可） 周囲２マス以内の味方が、 射程２の敵から攻撃された時、 スキル所持者は【護り手】を発動 敵が射程２の時、 戦闘中、守備、魔防＋４ 【護り手】 攻撃された味方の代わりに、味方のマスで戦闘を行い、 戦闘後の効果を受ける。 下記の場合、「護り手」は発動しない ・味方がいる場所が自分が進入できない地形の時 ・その戦闘で「護り手」を発動可能な味方が複数いる時 （「護り手」発動時、戦闘後移動スキルは無効）
