Thunder (affinity)
The Thunder (Japanese: 雷 thunder) affinity is one of several affinities present in the Fire Emblem series. It is characterized for giving some points to defense and a decent boost to avoid -and in the GBA games, to critical and dodge-, which makes it an appropriate option for characters with evasion problems.
The Thunder affinity is present in The Binding Blade, The Blazing Blade, The Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
