Understand the Fire Emblem Heroes weapon and magic triangles, including Reaver weapons and the Swordslayer.
The weapon triangle dictates advantages between unit types. Swords beat axes, axes beat lances, and lances beat swords. Similarly, the magic triangle states that Anima beats Light, Light beats Dark, and Dark beats Anima.
When the weapon triangle is in effect, the winning unit gains +15% hit and +1 weapon might, while the losing unit suffers -15% hit and -1 weapon might.
Reaver weapons, such as the Axereaver, reverse the standard triangle. With a Reaver weapon, the winning end receives +2 weapon might and +30% hit, and the losing end receives -2 weapon might and -30% hit. If two Reaver weapons are equipped, the triangle returns to its normal state.
The Swordslayer is noted as the most powerful reverse weapon.
- Pay attention to the weapon and magic triangles to gain an advantage in combat.
- Consider using Reaver weapons to reverse the triangle in your favor, but be aware of the penalties if your opponent also uses them.
- The Swordslayer offers a significant advantage when used against a unit weak to it.
