Bonus damage

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
Revision as of 22:10, 28 January 2021 by Thecornerman (talk | contribs) (→‎Three Houses: Converted to new CSS class; added Gambit column)

Across the Fire Emblem series, there are a number of weapons which possess the ability to deal extra damage to certain classes which possess a particular vulnerability to them. This bonus damage is in most games handled by multiplying the might of the attacking weapon by 3 in the damage calculation, but some games vary the method of effectiveness application.

Louise attacks a Wyvern Rider with a Silver Bow. All Bows are effective against flying units; this is indicated by her bow's blinking white weapon icon.

Effectiveness against a class or set of classes is normally either specific to a particular weapon or, as is almost always the case with bows against flying classes, applied to an entire weapon type. Conversely, classes which possess similar physical attributes are often grouped together into a "unit type", sharing vulnerabilities to the same effective weapons. For example, Cavaliers and Troubadours are both classes involving a unit riding on horseback, so they are often collectively considered "mounted" or "cavalry" units and are all vulnerable to the same effective weapons, like the Rapier and Ridersbane.

Depending on the game, some unit types are marked as such by small icons appearing in their profile. This practice started in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, although the three GBA games had a similar feature where a class's mount type (horse, pegasus, or wyvern) was indicated with an icon.

Fates

In Fates, effective weapons are weakened when used against units who are not vulnerable to them. A unit wielding a specific effective weapon takes a -4 attack, -10 hit rate penalty when using it against a unit who does not share that weakness.[1] This does not apply to bows or yumi when used on non-flier units, although the Hunter's Bow is affected.
