Chain attack
Chain attacks (Japanese: チェインアタック Chain attack) are a mechanic introduced in Fire Emblem Engage. They are additional attacks that can be performed by nearby allies that are in backup-type classes.
Overview
Chain attacks can be performed by units currently in a backup class, such as Sword Fighter, Lance Fighter, or Axe Fighter. A chain attack occurs if a unit targets an enemy that other allied units could attack from their current position and with their currently equipped weapon. If there are multiple enemies in range, then a unit can potentially make chain attacks attacks against all of them in a single turn. When a unit initiates combat, all allies that are capable of chain attacking from their positions will do so. They have a fixed hit rate of 80%, which is not affected by the attacking ally's stats or weapons, and they will always deal damage equal to 10% of the foe's maximum HP, rounded down; the attacking ally will deal damage even if they would normally deal zero damage to the foe when attacking normally on their own. Chain attacks always occur immediately before the initiating unit's first attack; if the initiating unit attacks last due to using a smash weapon, then chain attacks will occur after the enemy's attack(s).
Performing chain attacks does not grant the attacking ally any experience, though if a chain attack defeats an enemy, the unit that initiated combat will still receive the full experience they would have received from defeating the enemy by themself. Chain attacks cannot inflict break against enemies that they have weapon triangle advantage against; however, if a chain attacking ally's weapon is capable of inflicting poison status, that status will be applied on a successful hit, and will stack with previous poison effects on that enemy. Chain attacks cannot land critical hits.
