Follow-up critical multiplier orFCM (also known aspursuit critical coefficient, orPCC) is a hidden stat exclusive toFire Emblem: Thracia 776. This hidden value, innate to all units in the game, multiplies a unit'scritical hit rate by this value whenever they execute afollow-up attack. Several fan translations, such as Lil' Manster, have made this value visible in-game.

Calculations

[(Critical rate - target'sdodge) × (unit's follow-up critical multiplier)] = % actual critical hit rate

Exceptions: Any attack against a unit holding aCrusader scroll is negated,except Wrath criticals.

Example: SupposeCed, at base stats, wieldingForseti and with no currentsupport bonuses in effect, is attacked by an enemy; his relevant stats are 16+20Skill and 3 FCM, plus Forseti's 30crit. His base critical rate is as follows:

30 + 36 = 66

For this case, let's assume the enemy has 10Luck and no support bonuses, thus giving them a critical dodge of 5. Since Forseti grants Ced +20 speed, he is guaranteed to double attack the enemy. Using the formula above, we can calculate Ced's critical rate on the second attack:

(66 - 5) × 3 = 100 (since crit cannot go above 100%)

Therefore, in this setup, Ced is guaranteed to get a critical hit on second attacks (provided he hits).

Also note that, for all characters, all non-follow up attacks will have their critical rate capped at 25. However, the Follow-up attack critical rate will still use the displayed critical even if it is above 25. For example, if Leif (FCM of 2) has 30 displayed critical, he will have 25 critical on the first attack then 60 on the second attack.

This also means that 1 FCM characters can actually gain critical rate on follow-up attacks provided their displayed critical is above 25. For example, if Troude (FCM of 1) has a displayed critical of 50, he will have 25 critical on the first attack then 50 critical on the follow-up attack. Additionally, this means that characters with an FCM of 0 can never have a critical rate above 25, unless they have wrath.
