Weapon Level

Learn about Weapon Level and Weapon EXP in Fire Emblem Heroes, including rank requirements and Prf weapon details.

Weapon Level, also known as Weapon Rank, dictates a unit's ability to use specific weapons. For example, an 'A' weapon level in swords allows a unit to wield a Silver Sword (which requires an 'A' rank), but they cannot use the Regal Blade (which requires an 'S' rank).

Certain weapons are marked with 'Prf.', indicating they can only be wielded by a specific unit. The Prf. weapons and their exclusive users are:

• RAPIER - Eliwood exclusive
• MANI KATTI - Lyn exclusive
• WOLF BEIL - Hector exclusive
• DURANDAL - Eliwood exclusive
• SOL KATTI - Lyn exclusive
• ARMADS - Hector exclusive
• FORBLAZE - Athos exclusive

Over half of these Prf. weapons are legendary items obtained in the Final Chapter, so most players will not need to focus heavily on this aspect until later in the game. It is important to equip the correct character with their designated weapon when needed.

Weapon EXP is earned to increase your Weapon Rank. The EXP ranges for each rank are:

• E: 1-30 EXP
• D: 31-70 EXP
• C: 71-120 EXP
• B: 121-180 EXP
• A: 181-250 EXP
• S: 251+ EXP

Most weapons grant 1-2 EXP per hit, with heavier weapons typically providing more EXP. Staves award 2-8 EXP. Upon promotion, most classes receive a +40 EXP bonus to their Weapon EXP. A unit cannot achieve a rank higher than 'A' (181 EXP) before promotion.

Achieving an 'S' rank in a weapon type is beneficial, granting a +5% bonus to both critical hit rate and hit rate. Only one weapon can be assigned an 'S' rank.
