Experience
Experience (Japanese: 経験値 experience points), abbreviated as EXP, EX, or E, is a value tied to a unit's growth and progression throughout the game. In every Fire Emblem series game, units earn experience by fighting, using staves or performing other actions, and upon gaining 100 experience points a unit's level will increase and they will gain stats.
Overview
Experience is amassed progressively throughout the game as the player's units take part in battles. By fighting and defeating enemies, or performing support acts like using staves, dancing or stealing, units are rewarded for performing these actions with small amounts of experience, directly tying a unit's growth to their active participation in the activities in battle.
Generally speaking, the amount of experience gained from any given battle is directly tied to how strong the allied unit is compared to the enemy they fight. A unit at level 1 in a base class will typically gain the highest possible amount of experience, with the amount awarded for defeating the same foe decreasing as they level up or change class. Conversely, higher-levelled and promoted enemies will award allied units progressively higher experience amounts; bosses award the most significant amount of all, and for lower-levelled units defeating a boss will often award them a full 100 experience, enough to guarantee leveling up.
Gameplay modes and experience
Several gameplay modes in certain Fire Emblem games alter the experience growth of units, either as a side effect or as their primary point.
- Fire Emblem Gaiden: The "EASY" difficulty doubles all experience gain.
- Fire Emblem: Thracia 776: Paragon Mode doubles all experience gain.
- Fire Emblem Awakening: The Lunatic and Lunatic+ difficulties, in addition to their changes to enemy stats, also lower experience growth in skirmishes. Every attack in a skirmish will award only a single experience point, even when enemies are killed. This does not affect actual chapters or downloadable content episodes.

Bonus experience
Exclusive to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is bonus experience (often abbreviated as BExp), a system which rewards players for accomplishing certain goals with a supply of free experience. From the base menu, the player can award any bonus experience points they've accumulated to their units to increase their experience. With every chapter cleared, the player will earn a minimum quantity of BExp, with additional BExp earned by quicker completion of the chapter or through accomplishing other tasks such as protecting NPCs.
Awakening reclass mechanics
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
As the reclassing mechanism of Fire Emblem Awakening theoretically allows for infinite experience and level gains, the game also implements a special checking mechanism to discourage excessive grinding by slowing experience gain after a certain point. This is accomplished through what are known as internal levels, a hidden value maintained for each character which keeps track of how many times they have reclassed and, upon reaching a certain internal level, penalizes their further experience gain.
