Chain attacks (Japanese:チェインアタックChain attack) are a mechanic introduced inFire Emblem Engage. They are additional attacks that can be performed by nearby allies that are in backup-typeclasses.

Overview

Chain attacks can be performed by units currently in a backup class, such asSword Fighter,Lance Fighter, orAxe Fighter. A chain attack occurs if a unit targets an enemy that other allied units could attack from their current position and with their currently equipped weapon. If there are multiple enemies in range, then a unit can potentially make chain attacks against all of them in a single turn. When a unit initiates combat, all allies that are capable of chain attacking from their positions will do so. They have a fixedhit rate of 80%, which is not affected by the attacking ally's stats or weapons, and they will always deal damage equal to 10% of the foe's maximumHP, rounded down; the attacking ally will deal damage even if they would normally deal zero damage to the foe when attacking normally on their own. Chain attacks always occur immediately before the initiating unit's first attack; if the initiating unit attacks last due to using asmash weapon, then chain attacks will occur after the enemy's attack(s).

Performing chain attacks does not grant the attacking ally anyexperience, though if a chain attack defeats an enemy, the unit that initiated combat will still receive the full experience they would have received from defeating the enemy by themself. Chain attacks cannot inflictbreak against enemies that they haveweapon triangle advantage against; however, if a chain attacking ally's weapon is capable of inflicting thepoison status, that status will be applied on a successful hit, and will stack with previous poison effects on that enemy. Chain attacks cannot landcritical hits.
