伏兵 待ち伏せ
An [b]ambush[/b] is a [[battle]] tactic where a character takes advantage of concealment or the [[surprised|element of surprise]] to [[attack]] unsuspecting characters from [[hiding|concealed]] positions, such as among dense underbrush or behind [[hill]]tops. Sometimes, an ambush can involve the exclusive or combined use of [[explosive|improvised explosive devices]], that allow the attacking characters to hit the targeted characters while minimizing the risk of being exposed to return fire.

In most [[tag group:role-playing games|RPG games]], an ambush will forbid all player actions, allowing the enemy to act first (example of indications: [[red theme|red swirl]] in [[mother (series)|MOTHER/EarthBound]], swapped positions in [[Final Fantasy]]).
