Type Item First game Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

The Vulnerary (Japanese: きずぐすり Vulnerary) is a basic and common healing item which first appeared Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, and is available in all subsequent games except Fire Emblem Gaiden and Genealogy of the Holy War. When used, Vulneraries heal injured units by a relatively small amount, usually ten hit points of damage; this makes them more effective earlier in the game, before units have had an opportunity to level up and achieve higher amounts of maximum HP. An exception to this is the Vulneraries of Thracia 776, which instead restore all HP to a unit, acting more like the Elixir of other games.

Fairly cheap and with at least three uses, Vulneraries are valuable assets at the beginning of the game, when the player usually does not have access to a healer. In most games, many playable units will also already be carrying a Vulnerary in their inventory when they join the player's party, making Vulneraries even more easily accessible.
