Favorite underrated skill?

I’m just curious what skills people find go unappreciated. For me, my favorite underrated skill is Escape Route. I don’t typically hear anything about Escape Route since it lives in the shadow of the dreaded Wings of Mercy, but I’ve used it a couple of times and have had fun with it. My Tailtiu and Legion have it, since I don’t have desperation fodder for either and they still seem to work like a charm. Tailtiu teleports around nuking and getting buffs and Legion baits, is able to proc a massive Reprisal, (I’ve seen him do 14 damage on a 2 cooldown special without wrath, it’s fun) and then run away to safety. It’s a fun skill, I know it has some flaws but I still think it deserves some more love.

Not really underrated, but I take LnD over swift sparrow 100% of the time. Either use dedicated player phase or dedicated enemy phase, mixed phase is trash on anything except armoured units.

Escape Route rocks! I like to pair it with Fury on nuke mages and with Bond skills.

IMO the Boost skills (i.e. Fire Boost) are underrated, too. Yeah, they're a little unreliable, but not any less so than Panic Ploy which is way more popular.

I have a Fae with Earth Boost and love her. I'd like to try Fire Boost on my +HP Lucina, someday too.

Oh yesss I love Escape Route on my Taco. Because of Escape Route and his eff refined bow, he is now the ultimate teleportation meme lord that can teleport whenever he wants to (along with H!Nowi since Grimoire has the same effect but people rarely do meme builds on H!Nowi).
I also really like Breath of Life on my Performing Arts dancers, combined with the same seal. They can potentially heal 21 hp, which has been very useful in TTs, especially since I don’t like using healers.

I'm using it on my wind's brand Soren.
Fury+at least one stack of the +2 to all skills is pretty nice.
