Notes: All final decimals are rounded down (except for Eclipse, Magic-based swords and where stated).

Weapon Triangle

The physical weapon triangle is: Sword > Axe > Lance > Sword
The magical weapon triangle is: Anima > Light > Dark > Anima

(“>” means “is good against”)

Note: Light Brand (indirect) counts as Light magic, Runesword counts as Dark magic and Wind Sword (indirect) counts as Anima magic.

Double Attack

Property	Calculations
Attack Speed	= Speed – (Weapon Weight – Constitution, take as 0 if negative)

Double Attack if: (Attack Speed – enemy Attack Speed) >= 4

Damage

Property	Type	Calculations
Attack	Physical Light Brand (direct)	= Strength + [(Weapon Might + Weapon Triangle bonus) x Effective coefficient] + Support bonus
	Light Brand (indirect) Runesword	= (Strength / 2) + [(Weapon Might + Weapon Triangle bonus) x Effective coefficient] + Support bonus
	Magical	= Magic + [(Weapon Might + Weapon Triangle bonus) x Effective coefficient] + Support bonus
Defence	Physical	= Defence + Support bonus + Terrain bonus
	Magical Light Brand Runesword	= Resistance + Support bonus + Terrain bonus
Damage		= (Attack – enemy Defence) x Critical coefficient

Weapon Triangle bonus: +1 if weapon is good against enemy’s weapon, -1 if bad against enemy’s weapon.

(For Reaver weapons, the Weapon Triangle bonus is doubled for both weapons, except when facing another Reaver weapon.)

(Reaver weapons are Swordreaver, Swordslayer, Lancereaver and Axereaver.)

Effective coefficient (English version): 2 if weapon is effective against enemy, 1 if not.

Effective coefficient (Japanese version): 3 if weapon is effective against enemy (2 for dragon-slaying weapons, excluding Aureola), 1 if not.

Critical coefficient: 3 if critical is successful, 1 if not.

Note: The Wind Sword behaves the same as the Light Brand.

Accuracy

Property	Calculations
Accuracy	= Weapon Hit + (Skill x 2) + (Luck / 2) + Support bonus + Weapon Triangle bonus + S Rank bonus + Tactician bonus
Avoid	= (Attack Speed x 2) + Luck + Support bonus + Terrain bonus + Tactician bonus
Staff accuracy	= 30 + (Magic x 5) + Skill
Staff avoid	= (Resistance x 5) + (Distance from enemy x 2)
Battle accuracy	= Accuracy – enemy’s Avoid

Weapon Triangle bonus: +15 if weapon is good against enemy’s weapon, -15 if bad against enemy’s weapon.

(For Reaver weapons, the Weapon Triangle bonus is doubled for both weapons, except when facing another Reaver weapon.)

S Rank bonus: 5 if user is equipped with a weapon, whose weapon type they have an S Rank in.

Tactician bonus: 1 for each star in the Fortune-Tactician window (max of 10), if the user has the same affinity as the Tactician.

Critical

Property	Calculations
Critical rate	= Weapon Critical + (Skill / 2) + Support bonus + Critical bonus + S Rank bonus
Critical evade	= Luck + Support bonus + Tactician bonus
Battle critical rate	= Critical rate – enemy’s Critical evade
Assassinate rate	= 50% chance when the user lands a critical hit

S Rank bonus: 5 if user is equipped with a weapon, whose weapon type they have a S Rank in.

Critical bonus: 15 if user is a Swordmaster or Berserker.

Tactician bonus: 1 for each star in the Fortune-Tactician window (max of 10).

Note 1: Critical rate is 0 if user attacks with a Light Brand (indirect), Runesword or Wind Sword (indirect).

Note 2: Assassinate (One Hit Knockout) rate applies to Assassins only. It is halved against bosses (who with a shield icon on the map) and equal to 0 against the Fire Dragon.

Curse

Property	Calculations
Backfire rate	= (31 – Luck) %

Note: Applies for Devil Axe.

Rescue

Property	Calculations
Foot unit Aid	= Constitution – 1
Mounted unit Aid (male)	= 25 – Constitution
Mounted unit Aid (female)	= 20 – Constitution

Rescue if: Aid >= ally’s Constitution

Note: All non-playable enemy characters use the male mounted Aid formula.

Stealing

Steal if: Speed >= enemy’s Speed

Note 1: Only Thieves can Steal.

Note 2: Only items can be stolen.

Weapon Ranks

Weapon Rank	Required WEx	Total WEx
– to E	1	1
E to D	30	31
D to C	40	71
C to B	50	121
B to A	60	181
A to S	70	251

Note 1: Fatal hits give double Weapon EXP.

Note 2: Weapon EXP is gained even if no damage is done or the attack misses.

Note 3: No Weapon EXP is obtained when using the Light Brand (indirect), Runesword or Wind Sword (indirect).

Note 4: No Weapon EXP is obtained when a weapon or staff breaks.

Note 5: The maximum Weapon Rank for non-promoted characters is A (Weapon EXP towards an S Rank cannot be obtained).

Note 6: Characters can only have one S Rank (except for Archsages and Dark Druids).

Experience

Property	Calculation
Experience from doing damage	= [31 + (enemy’s Level + enemy’s Class bonus A) – (Level + Class bonus A)] / Class power
Experience from doing no damage	= 1
Experience from defeating (base)	= [(enemy’s Level x enemy’s Class power) + enemy’s Class bonus B] – { [(Level x Class power) + Class bonus B] / Mode coefficient }
Experience from defeating enemy	= (Experience from doing damage + [Experience from defeating (base) + 20 + Boss bonus + Thief bonus, take as 0 if negative]) x Assassinate coefficient

Class power: 1 for Bern Prince, Civilian, Transporter (Tent and Wagon), 2 for Clerics, Soldiers, Troubadours, Bards, Thieves and Dancers, 5 for the Fire Dragon, 3 for everything else.

Class bonus A: 0 for non-promoted classes, 20 for promoted classes.

Class bonus B: 0 for non-promoted classes, 40 for Assassins, Bishop (F) and Valkyries, 60 for all other promoted classes.

Mode coefficient: Initially treat this value as being 1. For Eliwood Normal mode, Hector Normal mode and the Link Arena, if Experience from defeating (base) is calculated as 0 or negative, this value becomes 2 instead. For all other cases it remains 1.

Boss bonus: 40 if enemy is a boss, 0 if not.

Thief bonus: 20 if enemy is a Thief or Assassin, 0 if not.

Assassinate coefficient: ~1.8 if the user activates Assassinate (One Hit Knockout), 1 if not.

Note: Experience from defeating enemy is rounded up if Mode coefficient is 2.
