Smash (Japanese: スマッシュ Smash) is a mechanic introduced in Fire Emblem Engage. It is an effect that knocks an opponent backwards after combat. Most weapons that smash opponents are also defined by their high weight and might.

Overview

The smash effect occurs when a unit initiates combat with a smash-enabled weapon, such as an Iron Blade. If the unit successfully lands a hit that deals at least 1 damage during that round of combat, then the opponent will be smashed after combat, knocking them back one space away. If the space the unit would be knocked into is terrain that is impassable by that unit normally, such as a wall, then the smashed unit will be inflicted with break. If the space is instead occupied by another unit, then both the smashed unit and the unit that was smashed into will be inflicted with break.

All currently existing smash weapons possess similar characteristics apart from inflicting smash. These characteristics are not part of the smash effect itself, but are nonetheless shared between them all. In particular, all smash weapons have higher weight than their standard counterparts, around double the might of their standard counterparts, are completely incapable of performing follow-up attacks, and force the user to attack last whenever they initiate combat.

The smash effect cannot be applied to units that are larger than one space, such as Corrupted Wyrms.
