Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Supports (Buddy and Bond)

Credits: Pegasus Knight, Valhalla

Buddy support

This is the same thing as "normal supports" in the previous three games.

About
Buddy bonus

The individual bonuses for an Affinity are:

Fire: Attack +0.5, Accuracy +2.5
Water: Attack +0.5, Defence +0.5
Wind: Accuracy +2.5, Avoid +2.5
Thunder: Defence +0.5, Avoid +2.5
Heaven: Accuracy +9
Earth: Avoid +7.5
Light: Defence +0.5, Accuracy +2.5
Dark: Attack +0.5, Avoid +2.5

(Attack and Defence include both physical and magical)

To obtain the complete bonus for two characters, add up the individual bonuses for the two affinities and multiply them by the support level (1x for C, 2x for B and 3x for A). If any fractions are present, round down for <0.4 and round up for >=0.5.

The bonus only activate if the supporting characters are within a 3 tile radius of eachother.

Bond support

This is the same thing as "in-built supports", which featured in Mystery of the Emblem, Thracia 776 and Path of Radiance.

About
  • The bonus is to both Critical and Dodge.
  • Bond supports cannot be removed.
  • A-rank supports from Path of Radiance (via Transfer Data) will manifest as Bond supports, with a bonus of +5, in this game.
