Poison (Japanese: ポイズン poison) is a recurring status effect which first appeared in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. In most games it appears in, it inflicts small amounts of damage to the afflicted unit at the beginning of each of their turns until the condition wears off. In earlier games, if a unit with low remaining HP is affected, poison can kill the unit; from Echoes: Shadows of Valentia onward however, it is incapable of killing units.
In Engage, poison acts very differently, no longer inflicting damage at the beginning of a turn. It instead increases the damage a unit takes during combat. Poison can be stacked up to three times, with each stack increasing the damage the afflicted unit takes.
The use of weapons which inflict poison status was at first almost entirely exclusive to enemy forces, and the only poison-inflicting weapon which players can easily obtain in any game before Shadows of Valentia is Valaura in Radiant Dawn. While poison weapons can be stolen in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, this is not easy and requires very specific planning and effort to accomplish. In the case of Thracia 776, the game is coded so that player units cannot inflict the poison status effect; additionally, if a poison weapon other than Jormungand is stolen by the player's army, it is reverted to a basic non-poisoning weapon (e.g. Poison Bows turn into Iron Bows). Starting with Shadows of Valentia, poison weapons became more easily obtainable, by forging specific rusted weapons in Shadows of Valentia or Iron weapons such as Iron Sword using Venomstones in Three Houses. In Engage, nearly all knives are capable of inflicting poison, and their chain attacks can also inflict poison if capable.
