Different Unit Types and Weapon Triangle
The tried-and-true weapon triangle has been an integral piece of Fire Emblem games for years, and that feature makes the cut for Fire Emblem Warriors. Now, the weapon triangle won’t be nearly as influential in Warriors as in the tactical series, but the rock-paper-scissors concept still applies. Units that use swords have the advantage over axes, axes have the advantage over spears, and spears over swords. Additionally, different unit types and classes like Cavaliers, Fighters, and Myrmidons make it in as well along with their corresponding weapons on the triangle.
Now where Fire Emblem Warriors puts a new action-oriented twist on the system, is by giving you a team of three characters to control in battle. You can switch between these characters on the fly, putting them into battle when they’ll have the advantage. Unfortunately, during our time with the game we only had sword-wielding characters, but the battle threw hordes of units at as and commanders of different weapon types. Hopefully, this level of light strategy will require you to keep on your toes more.
