Revision as of 17:34, 26 December 2023

Highlighted: Fiona's skills list and capacity. She currently has two personal skills equipped—Savior and Imbue—and also possesses the class skill Canto.

The skill system (Japanese: スキル Skill) is a Fire Emblem series gameplay mechanic revolving around the use of special abilities, called skills, which grant additional abilities to individual units which subvert the normal flow of gameplay. Learned by units both depending on their class and on a personal basis, skills possess a wide variety of effects which serve to both augment and hinder a unit's performance and capabilities in battle, and are used by both playable units and the enemy army.

While skills as a defined mechanic first appeared in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, skill-like features of certain classes have existed since Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. In Three Houses, skills are instead known as abilities.

Overview

Classifications

Class and personal skills

From the introduction of the system in Genealogy of the Holy War to Radiant Dawn, skills are divided into two categories which dictate their availability: class skills (Japanese: 兵種スキル class skill) and personal skills (Japanese: 個人スキル personal skill), or "soldier" and "citizen" respectively in Path of Radiance. A class skill is a skill possessed by all units of a certain class, whereas a personal skill is a skill specifically inherent or taught to an individual unit and has no direct association with a class. Overlap in the two categories is possible, as a skill which is a class skill for some classes may be available as a personal skill for some units. Thracia 776 additionally has weapon skills (Japanese: 武器スキル weapon skill), which are gained while equipping specific weapons that grant them. These are present in other games, but are only shown on a unit's skill list in Thracia 776 and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and are only referred to as such in Thracia.

Example: Pavise is a class skill in Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, associated with Generals, Barons and Emperors in the former, and Barons only in the latter. However, Xavier also possesses Pavise as a personal skill.

A sub-category of class skills is mastery skills in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, which are class skills available only to advanced classes (requiring the use of an Occult scroll in the former game) and are typically more potent than "normal" skills.

The next game with a skill system after Radiant Dawn, Awakening, removed distinct types of skills in favor of a simpler system where all skills are learned from classes, and can then be equipped whenever. Fates, while continuing to use this system and not using the term, introduces a new form of personal skills to the series. In it, every normal playable unit has a single completely unique skill which cannot be unequipped, and cannot be learned by other units by any means. These are often designed to reflect the unit's character in some way. Playable unit-unique skills would continue to be featured in later games in the series, and come to explicitly be named personal skills, effectively replacing the previous definition.

Three Houses and Engage, while retaining the equipped skills system, return to a more rigid definition of different types of skills. In addition to equipped skills and the now so named personal skills, the class skills system from the earlier games returns mostly unchanged, where all units of a certain class have an unremovable skill or set of skills. In Three Houses, most classes have class skills, but in Engage only advanced classes have skills, and units can only use them once they reach level 5 in the class.

Equippable skills

From Awakening onward, the original idea of personal skills is somewhat reworked with the introduction of a unit's personal skill pool, which their learned skills accumulate in and can be equipped from at the player's leisure. Awakening and Fates do not use the terms "personal skill" and "class skill", referring to everything as simply "skills". In these games, almost all skills are learned by leveling up in a certain class, which grants access to that class' skills to the unit at set levels. These skills are then retained in the skill pool across all further reclasses and class changes. However, a small few units do have access to skills which cannot be learned from any of the classes they have access to; in particular, every bonus unit in Awakening has at least one skill outside their default class, with some being otherwise unavailable to them due to gender.

In Three Houses, they are known as equipped abilities, and are learned from a variety of sources, most often by raising a unit's skill levels. Other sources include Class mastery, unlocking units' budding talents, and special events. In Engage, they are known as inherited skills and are acquired exclusively by spending SP to inherit them from Emblem Rings.

Sword skills

Main article: Offensive skill

A sword skill is any skill which has a percentage chance of activating derived from a specific stat possessed by the user or their target, usually their Skill stat. In common fandom parlance, however, the term is most commonly used to refer to directly offensive skills with this activation criteria, such as Sol and Luna.

Restrictions

Perne, after learning all eight of the game's manual-taught skills (plus his own base skills), demonstrating an absence of a hard skill maximum in Thracia 776.

In Thracia 776, there is no restriction on how many skills a unit can learn. Theoretically, a unit can be taught all eight of the skills learnable from the game's skill manuals with no restriction, though in practice the limited quantities of the skill manuals and the size of the playable cast discourage expending all of one's skill manuals on a single unit. Needless to say, a unit who already possesses a given skill cannot learn it a second time from a manual.

In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, skill restriction is determined by the capacity stat. Every unit has a set number of capacity points depending on their class, which are consumed by the skills they have been taught; every skill has a set number of capacity points which it requires to be available if it is to be taught to a unit, with the required point threshold depending on the individual skill. Generally speaking, advanced classes have a higher capacity than basic classes, and laguz possess the highest capacity of any class. It is important to remember that mandatory class skills such as Shove and Canto (marked with the icon WiiLockSkill.png) do consume capacity points and cannot be removed to free up capacity. There is also a physical limit in place in Radiant Dawn, where regardless of how much capacity they have left over, a unit cannot learn more than six skills, including any irremovable ones.

List of classes by capacity points available

Path of Radiance Radiant Dawn

Capacity Classes possessing this capacity
0 Civilian
15 Sword Knight • Lance Knight • Axe Knight • Bow Knight • Pegasus Knight • Wyvern Rider
20 Ranger • Myrmidon • Soldier • Fighter • Archer • Knight • Paladin • Falcon Knight • Princess Crimea • Wyvern Lord • Mage • Priest • Cleric • Thief • Bandit
25 Lord • Hero • Swordmaster • Halberdier • Warrior • Sniper • General • Sage • Bishop • Valkyrie • Assassin • Berserker • Lion • Tiger • Cat • Hawk • Raven
40 General (Black Knight only) • King Daein • White Dragon • Red Dragon • Hawk (Tibarn only) • Raven (Naesala only) • Heron

Games from Awakening forward (with the exception of Echoes) feature a system where units can only have a certain number of skills active on themselves at a time; any surplus skills are stored in a pool of skills available to the individual unit, and all units can freely swap around, apply or remove skills in the menu when outside of battle. Awakening and Fates allow five player-assigned skills active per unit at a time, with Fates additionally featuring a sixth, always equipped personal skill unique to each unit. Three Houses builds upon this further, allowing for one personal skill, five player-assigned skills, and up to three skills inherent to a unit's class. In Engage, player units may only have four non-Emblem skills active at a time; one personal skill, two player-assigned skills, and one class-specific skill unlocked by reaching a certain level. Equipping an Emblem Ring will grant them as many as six additional skills unique to that Emblem Ring.

List of skills by game

Technically speaking, class skills exist in almost every game in the series, in the sense of abilities dependent on specific classes, and indeed many abilities available to classes in non-skill-enabled games are considered skills in games with a formal skill system (in some cases, such as Canto and Shove, a skill already existed in an hidden and undefined state in earlier games with skill systems before finally being given a proper skill entry in a later game with a skill system). However, only eight titles in the main series actually possess a formal skill system, and only one skill appears as a defined skill in all eight.

Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776

Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 are the originators of the formal skill system, with the original eighteen skills debuting in the former. Of these eighteen only two, Critical and Follow-Up, did not return in Thracia 776 as the game's mechanics were altered to render their respective functions part of standard gameplay as per the rest of the series.

In Genealogy of the Holy War, they are given categories in the skill menu: Standard (Japanese: いっぱん), Combat (Japanese: せんとう), and Special Sword (Japanese: とくしゅ剣). Special sword skills are a specific subcategory of offensive trigger skills which are available only for unmounted sword-wielding units (Myrmidon, Swordmaster, Forrest, Thief, Thief Fighter, Dancer) and cannot be learned by mounted or non-sword-wielding units under any circumstances, and cannot activate simultaneously if multiples are possessed by a single unit. These restrictions were lifted in Thracia 776 onward, allowing them to be freely learned and used by any class, as well as allowing multiple Special Swords to activate on the same attack.

The Sacred Stones

Gilliam activating Great Shield in The Sacred Stones.

The Sacred Stones reintroduced skills to the series following their absence in its two predecessors, albeit in a significantly watered-down form compared to skill systems in other games. Seven skills are present in the game, all class skills. The game interface allots no specific space to profile skills and their effects, and the skills are only acknowledged briefly by name in the class descriptions.

Mastery skills

Mastery skills (Japanese: 奥義スキル esoteric skills) are a classification of powerful skills in the Tellius duology and a sub-type of class/soldier skills. The majority of class families are associated with a mastery skill, which normally are trigger skills dealing exceedingly potent amounts of damage to enemies. All mastery skills consume a very high amount of capacity, hindering the ability to equip them alongside other skills. In other games, the mastery skill distinction does not exist and they are treated as normal, if uncommon, skills; additionally, a few Path of Radiance mastery skills were downgraded to become normal skills in Radiant Dawn. All three of the sword skills of the Jugdral duology also act as mastery skills in Tellius.

In Path of Radiance, mastery skills are learned by advanced-class beorc units and laguz units above level 15 by equipping them with an Occult scroll. In Radiant Dawn, beorc units automatically obtain their mastery skill upon promoting to their third-tier advanced class, while laguz units gain their mastery skills by using a Satori Sign item after reaching a minimum level of 30.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is the first remake title in the series to include a defined skill system where its corresponding original game, Gaiden, did not. There are two primary types of skills in Shadows of Valentia, combat arts and passive skills. Most combat arts are learned as the result of earning enough skill points (SP) while equipped with a certain piece of equipment; combat arts usually involve losing a number of HP when used, and typically grant might and hit rate boosts in addition to a special effect. Passive skills associated with equipment take effect while the equipment remains equipped, while those not associated with equipment can mostly be subdivided into personal and class varieties, although there is some overlap.

Like The Sacred Stones but unlike other games with defined skill systems, each individual skill does not have a dedicated icon; in Shadows of Valentia's case, skills associated with equipment will bear an icon based on the type of equipment (Is 3ds03 skill sword.pngsword, Is 3ds03 skill lance.pnglance, Is 3ds03 skill bow.pngbow, Is 3ds03 skill shield.pngshield, Is 3ds03 skill ring.pngring), and icons also exist for Is 3ds03 skill personal.pngpersonal, Is 3ds03 skill class.pngclass skills, and Is 3ds03 skill on-hit.png defensive combat arts.

Three Houses

Main article: List of abilities in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

In Three Houses, skills have been renamed to "abilities" to avoid conflict with the skill level system. Abilities are split into three categories: personal abilities, which are unit-specific and cannot be unequipped; class abilities, which are granted so long as a unit is within a certain class; and equipped abilities, which are learned through various means, and can be freely equipped and unequipped at any time outside of battle. Up to nine abilities can be active on a unit at once: one personal ability, three class abilities, and five equipped abilities. Combat arts have additionally been made separate from the ability system.

The methods of obtaining abilities have been changed, with most becoming available by raising a unit's skill level, or by achieving class mastery, a new feature in Three Houses. Every time a unit enters a round of combat, uses white magic, or uses a gambit, they will gain one point of class Exp for their current class. When the unit has earned enough class Exp for a class, the unit will learn that class's mastery ability and/or combat art.

Engage

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.

In Engage, each playable character has a unique personal skill. In addition, each promoted Class at level 5, and each special Class at level 25 gains a unique class skill that is lost when reclassing to another class.

The bulk of the skill system is through the Emblem Ring mechanic. When synced with an Emblem, a unit will be granted several skills. At level 1, an emblem provides one sync skill, and will provide more, as well as improved versions of sync skills, as the bond level is raised. Starting with bond level 5, a unit can inherit the sync skills, as well as some other skills that only take effect when inherited and equipped, at the cost of SP. Only two inherited skills can be equipped at once. In addition, each emblem has one engage skill (with the exception of Emblem Alear, who cannot be synced with and only has engage skills), that is provided when Engaged with the unit, and an engage attack, which can be used once per engaged state. Engage skills and engage attacks can also gain additional effects based on the user's unit type. These are detailed on the skills' individual pages.

Like past games, some skills can only be used by enemy units, and are unobtainable by the player.

Heroes

Main article: List of skills in Fire Emblem Heroes

Skills in Fire Emblem Heroes form the core of the gameplay experience, and come mainly in four types: weapon, assist, special, and passive. Weapon skills are subdivided into red, green, blue, and colorless categories, and those categories are further subdivided into three categories of their own. Passive skills are subdivided into type A, type B, and type C.

Warriors

Main article: Crests (Warriors) § Skills

Skills are one of four types of crests in Fire Emblem Warriors, with the most varied variety of effects of all types of crests. Each character has one skill associated primarily with them that can be learned with more common materials; other characters can also make use of a character's personal skill, but doing so requires an essence and another rarer material.

Warriors: Three Hopes

Main article: List of abilities in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes took the skill system that was present in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and tweaked it in order to accommodate the new gameplay. Personal abilities are now split into three groups while the others groups were left untouched. Black magic, white magic and dark magic are now put into the same category as combat arts. Additionally, personal abilities, combat arts and magic spells can now level up to level 3, increasing their effects.

There are several other types of abilities that units can utilize in battle:

  • Class abilities are granted to units of certain classes and will be removed if the user changes their class.
  • Class mastery abilities are abilities that are learned by units upon gaining a certain amount of class experience in a given class. Unlike most other Fire Emblem games, each class can bestow different abilities depending on the unit.
  • Innate abilities are identical to class mastery abilities, but the game does not tell the player that these abilities can be learned by units.
  • Battalion abilities are abilities granted to units while they have a battalion deployed.

In addition, certain weapons and accessories grant abilities to the user while equipped. Some of these abilities are unique while others can be learned from other sources. Shez can also give the Merc Whistle to an ally with an A-rank support to receive a special accessory that changes Shez's Unique Action Ability to that of their ally's.
