Weapon Pentagon

The Weapon Pentagon is a rework of traditional Fire Emblem 's Weapon Triangle. Since Fire Emblem: Redemption contains more weapon types, the Weapon Pentagon was created to allow for more diversity in weapon advantages compared to Fire Emblem: Fates.

The weapons in the pentagon are sorted by colour - swords are red, axes are yellow, bows are green, lances are blue and daggers are magenta - and every weapon type has a weapon advantage over the two that come after it; swords beat axes and bows, axes beat bows and lances, bows beat lances and daggers, lances beat daggers and swords, daggers beat swords and axes. A weapon advantage grants +25 Hit and +1 Atk. Likewise, a weapon disadvantage grants -25 Hit and -1 Atk. Tomes are not included in the Weapon Pentagon. There is a similar mechanic in the game: the Element Hexagon provides mostly the same effects as the Weapon Pentagon, but compares elemental affinities instead of weapon types.
