This ''' | Across the {{FES}}, 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''', also known as '''effective damage''' or '''effectiveness''', 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. | ||
Effectiveness against a class or set of classes is normally either specific to a particular weapon or, as is almost always the case with [[ | ==Mechanics== | ||
Effectiveness against a class or set of classes is normally either specific to a particular weapon or, as is almost always the case with [[bow]]s 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, [[Cavalier]]s and [[Troubadour]]s 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]]. In games prior to {{title|Path of Radiance}}, unit types do not technically exist as an attribute of the class; rather, weapons are assigned a list of classes that they are effective against. Later games assign classes types and define the weapon as being effective against said types. | |||
Depending on the game, some unit types are marked as such by small icons appearing in their profile. This practice started in {{ | Depending on the game, some unit types are marked as such by small icons appearing in their profile. This practice started in {{FE9}}, although the three GBA games had a similar feature where a class's mount type (horse, pegasus, or wyvern) was indicated with an icon. | ||
===Negating bonus damage=== | |||
Some items and skills have effects that negate bonus damage. Holding or equipping these items or skills will neutralize some or all—depending on the skill or item—of the bonus damage a unit takes. Items and skills like the [[Rafail Gem]] in ''Three Houses'' or [[Nullify]] in ''Radiant Dawn'' nullify all bonus damage the user may take; others such as the [[Iote's Shield]] in the DS games or [[Conquest (skill)|Conquest]] in ''Awakening'' nullify only bonus damage targeting certain unit types, so a unit of multiple types may take bonus damage targeting another type—for instance, a [[Pegasus Knight]] in ''Awakening'' (beast and flying types) equipped with Conquest (negating beast and armor effectiveness) will not take bonus damage from a [[Beast Killer]] as it normally would, but will still take bonus damage from bows or wind [[tome]]s. | |||

Latest revision as of 20:27, 12 March 2024
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, also known as effective damage or effectiveness, 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.
Mechanics
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. In games prior to Path of Radiance, unit types do not technically exist as an attribute of the class; rather, weapons are assigned a list of classes that they are effective against. Later games assign classes types and define the weapon as being effective against said types.
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.
Negating bonus damage
Some items and skills have effects that negate bonus damage. Holding or equipping these items or skills will neutralize some or all—depending on the skill or item—of the bonus damage a unit takes. Items and skills like the Rafail Gem in Three Houses or Nullify in Radiant Dawn nullify all bonus damage the user may take; others such as the Iote's Shield in the DS games or Conquest in Awakening nullify only bonus damage targeting certain unit types, so a unit of multiple types may take bonus damage targeting another type—for instance, a Pegasus Knight in Awakening (beast and flying types) equipped with Conquest (negating beast and armor effectiveness) will not take bonus damage from a Beast Killer as it normally would, but will still take bonus damage from bows or wind tomes.

Conquest negates bonus damage targeting its user's cavalry or armor weaknesses. Iote's Shield negates bonus damage targeting its user's flying weakness.
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.

Heroes
Swift Slice allows its user to conditionally deal effective damage when facing a unit of any weapon type while in combat.
Additionally, two weapon skills grant a source of bonus damage to their users:
- Loptous makes its user receive bonus damage from weapons that deal bonus damage to breath units.
- Tempest's Claw makes its user receive bonus damage from blue tomes.
Warriors
In Warriors, players can forge up to two different effective attributes onto any of their weapons (including any that are already built into it). However, doing so will also decrease the weapon's might by 20% unless it also has the True Power, Divine Power, or Legendary attributes. Any unremovable attributes built into the weapon, like Wingslayer on bows, are also not subjected to this penalty.
Iote's Shield negates all bonus damage targeting its user.
