Fire Emblem 1

[Twilkitri]

(Shifted in from the old boards; not retaining discussion)

Stat definitions:

Fundamental Stats-
MHP = Hitpoints, everyone knows what they are.

STR = Strength. Affects damage done by physical weaponary.

SKL = Skill. Affects innate hit rate when using physical weaponary and critical chance.

WLV = Weapon Level. Determines which weapons a character is able to use.

SPD = Speed. Really means dexterity over actual speed (that's Movement). Affects innate evade rate and repeated attacks.

DEF = Defence. Affects damage done by physical weaponary.

RES = Resistance. Affects damage done by magical weaponary.

LUK = Luck. Affects various things.

All fundamental stats bar MHP and RES cap at 20. MHP caps at 52. RES caps at 7.

Oh, and MOV = move and EXV = Experience Value. Not really needed, just dumped these in the boss post for completeness.

Derived Stats-
Attack Power. For physical weapons this is strength plus weapon might, for magical weapons it's just weapon might. Effectiveness triples the weapon might.

Damage (DMG) is Attack Power minus the relevant defencive stat.

Attack Speed (AS). Determines repeated attacks. Whoever has the higher attack speed gets the attack. Speed minus weapon weight.

Innate Hit Rate. Weapon Accuracy + Skill for physical weapons, just weapon accuracy for magical ones.

Innate Evade Rate. Assuming terrain doesn't take effect here... for defending against physical weapons, evade rate = attack speed. For defending against magical weapons, evade rate = luck.

Critical Rate (CRT). The chance of scoring a critical hit. THERE IS NO CRITICAL EVADE IN FE1. (Skill + Luck) / 2 + Weapon Critical.

Hit Rate. Character's innate hit rate - opponent's innate evade rate.


There is no weapon triangle in FE1.

Assuming 10 for defence and 0 for resistance.

Stat averages are done with TruAverages to one decimal place. No idea how one would go about doing a table without access to HTML.

Stats are for level 20/10 for promotable characters, 20 for nonpromotable characters.

Table is giving me grief (not parsing any tags with attributes, which results in the table tag and initial tr tag being visible text, and then the rest of the table is black (and thus unreadable) and having no formatting) trying to post it here, so it can currently be found at
http://twilkitri.fewiki.net/FE1/fe1table.htm
for the time being.

Linda is listed with Aura and Tron because while Aura is her personal weapon and fairly powerful, Tron is a lot lighter with a critical boost, and attack speed seems to count for a lot more here than ingame.
Marth is listed with the Falchion and the Miracle because despite the Miracle crushing the Falchion into the ground, and 2 of the Falchion's advantages (infinite use, effective against Medeus) being useless, he can use the Falchion to restore all his HP. Although I think that would get restricted to one use per battle, here, if I remember what happened with the SoS correctly.


Updated averages with the 20/10 and 20 statsets:
MHP: 33.0
STR: 12.2
SKL: 12.6
WLV: 15.4
SPD: 15.3
DEF: 11.3
RES: 0.1
LUK: 12.1

On the whole, not much different from before.

Some bosses!

Camus, general of Grunia
Level 14 Paladin
40 MHP
14 STR
13 SKL
16 WLV
17 SPD
0 LUK
15 DEF
10 MOV
0 RES
67 EXV

Weapon: Gladius
20 Might, 100 Accuracy, 4 Weight, 10 Critical, 1-2 Range, Level 14

Camus is tough. The Gladius is nothing to sneeze at, and it having 2 range lets him avoid pesky mages attacking him. And Paladins aren't weak against Knight Killers (Horseslayers) in FE1, so the only thing effective on him in the hopes of killing him quickly is Marth's Rapier. It's just fortunate that the weapon triangle doesn't exist in FE1, so Marth has some chance of survival.
The Gladius is an evil, evil weapon.

Misheil, prince of Grunia
Level 12 Dragon Knight
37 MHP
14 STR
8 SKL
15 WLV
11 SPD
0 LUK
19 DEF
10 MOV
0 RES
55 EXV

Weapon: Javelin

Misheil is woeful. He has a Javelin to try and discourage people attacking him with bows or magic, but he doesn't have any good weapons to use alternately. It doesn't help that you can kill him in one hit with the Paltia anyway, due to his horrible MHP. He should cede and let Minerva or Camus take over the country.

Garnef, the eviiiil priest
Level 10 Bishop
34 MHP
7 STR
5 SKL
14 WLV
18 SPD
0 LUK
12 DEF
6 MOV
0 RES
53 EXV

Weapon: Maphu
14 Might, 70 Accuracy, 9 Weight, 0 Critical, 1-2 Range, Level - (Exclusive to Garnef)
Blocks all attacks except by Starlight

He's only good if you don't have Starlight. If you have Starlight and a reasonable mage, he fails utterly.
If you're ever playing FE1 and using Juigi's FAQ to do so, he says to sacrifice a person to Garnef before you kill him with Starlight. Don't. That's just stupid.

-MEDEUS- that crazy Earth Dragon

Level 20 Mamkute
45 MHP
10 STR
10 SKL
16 WLV
10 SPD
0 LUK
12 DEF
6 MOV
0 RES
71 EXV

Not too impressive, is it? Well, let's see his weapon's normal stats.

Weapon: Earth Dragon Stone
20 Might, 70 Accuracy, 10 Weight, 0 Critical, 1-1 Range, Level - (Exclusive to Medeus)

Not enough? How about the rest of what his weapon does, then.

Immunity to magic
Immunity to effectiveness that isn't the Falchion's
(This is what sites say, anyway. But in my experience you can't attack him with ANYTHING that's not the Falchion, not just effective weapons).
+23 Defence

Okay, now he's a bit more evil.
Juigi says to throw the Gladius at him while Marth's attacking him with the Falchion, but when I tried throwing the Gladius at him he just sealed the attack, so not sure what's going on there.
He's fairly simple with the Falchion, especially since Marth can use the Falchion to heal himself so he can just sit there and let Medeus hit him on the enemy turn, then heal himself on the player's turn. Just have to watch out for reinforcements.
Impossible without it, as you'd expect.
