Awakening (Warriors)

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Awakening is a mechanic in Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. It can be performed to activate the Awakened state, which grants a unit numerous benefits.

Mechanics

To perform an Awakening, the player needs to press the corresponding button once their Awakening Gauge is filled. By default, an Awakening is performed by pressing the R button in Warriors and by pressing the R and A buttons in Warriors: Three Hopes. Each unit has their own separate Awakening gauge that fills separately from other units. An Awakening lasts until the unit's Awakening Gauge is empty or they manually revert by pressing the Awakening button again.

Filling the Awakening Gauge

A unit's Awakening gauge increases when they perform the following actions:

  • Dealing damage to enemies
  • Performing a Critical Rush
  • Performing Adjutant Follow-Up attacks
  • Collecting blue tonics
    • Blue tonics can be found from blue pots or are randomly dropped from enemies.

The following dishes influence the user's Awakening Gauge fill rate or fill it at the start of a battle:

  • The unit will survive all attacks with at least 1 HP, even if their HP was already at 1.
  • The unit's adjutant will always perform Adjutant Follow-Up attacks.

Additionally, a unit will get certain benefits by defeating a certain amount of enemies while awakened:

Defeated enemies Bonus
40 Increases experience gain.
50 Increases class experience gain.
75 Weapon drops have increased forge counts.
100 Weapon drops have additional attributes.

If a unit's Awakening state ends, they will perform an automatic Warrior Special. Additionally, if they perform a Warrior Special manually, the unit's Awakening Gauge will be emptied.
