Staff
Thestaff (Japanese:杖rod; plural:staves) is amagicalweapon category which was introduced inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is present in every game in theFire Emblem series exceptGaiden andShadows of Valentia, wherewhite magic performs the same role. Staves are unique in that they have no capacity to actively deal damage and cannot be used to initiate an attack, nor in most cases defend an attack. Instead, they deal entirely in support magic to aid their allies or non-violently cripple their enemies.
Amongbasic classes, there are a handful of staff-wielding classes which can use no other weapon type and are incapable of fighting on their own; classes of this archetype are typically known ashealers. Onpromotion, healer classes usually gain access to offensive magic alongside staves, and the vast majority of otheradvanced magical classes will usually gain access to staves alongside their initial magic type. In later games, staves are also often found being used by advanced classes who otherwise only wield physical weapons.
InFire Emblem Fates, theirHoshidan counterpart is therod (Japanese:祓串haraegushi). Rods are almost identical to staves and share a weapon level. The basic hierarchy of rods have an increased range over basic staves in exchange for weaker healing potency, but other types of rods are identical to staves.
InFire Emblem: Three Houses, staves' normal role is again taken by white magic, like inGaiden, but staves do appear as a type ofequipment.
There are currently 54 different staves in theFire Emblem series.
Overview
Staves can be loosely divided up into four archetypes:
- The majority of staves arehealing staves which are designed to heal injured allies. Most of these restorehit points to injured units, while theRestore staff curesstatus effects. Healing staves of lower weapon level usually heal only a single unit who is adjacent to the user, but the stronger healing staves can often heal distant allies or even multiple allies at once.
- Transport staves allow staff-users to teleport their allies (or, occasionally, themselves) to other points on a map, usually across very long distances that no unit could otherwise cross by themselves in a single turn.
- Support staves perform miscellaneous purposes which are beneficial to the staff-user's army, such as performing tasks over long distances that otherwise require specialized units or items to get close to the task's subject.
- Offensive staves are staves designed to affect the staff user's enemies, working to put them at a disadvantage in ways that do not involve depleting their HP. This usually comes in the form of afflicting the enemy with status effects that leave them much more vulnerable to attacks from the staff-user's allies. Unlike most other staves, all of these operate over a long range and do not require the staff user to be adjacent to the enemy. Offensive staves tend to be used fairly widely among late-game enemies, but the player can typically only get them in very limited quantities.
As magical weapons, staves generally rely on their user'smagic stat to determine their effectiveness. Most healing staves afterShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light restore an amount of HP which is based on the user's magic plus a base healing value assigned to that particular staff. In some games, therange of staves which can be cast over distances, such asPhysic andRescue, is also derived from the user's magic, as is the accuracy of offensive staves. Generally speaking, the higher a unit's magic, then the more effective staves will be in their hands. Conversely, theresistance stat is used to calculate whether a unit can evade an incoming cast of an offensive staff.
While using weapons awardsexperience based on how strong the enemy is relative to the attacker, staves work differently by awarding experience based on the staff used, with stronger staves usually giving more experience. This only applies fromMystery of the Emblem onward, because inShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light staves do not award experience at all, meaning that the only way for members of the healer classPriest to gain experience in that game is by being attacked.
In the majority of games, non-offensive staves will have perfectaccuracy and it is impossible for a staff cast to fail. The exception isThracia 776, where every staff use has ahit chance determined solely by the user's skill stat. Staves do not share weapons' universal 99% hit rate maximum, and a unit with enoughskill will not miss with staves—the game does not roll a random number for a unit with 10 skill or higher, and they will always hit.[1]Thracia 776 also gives the mend, heal and physic staves a chance tobe cast twice in an action if the first cast misses or does not fully replenish the target's HP.
InPath of Radiance, the staffweapon level doubles as the weapon level forlight magic.
Self-defense inRadiant Dawn
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn applied a few unique changes to the workings of staves. First, staves are equipped in exactly the same way as an ordinary weapon, meaning that a unit who casts a staff will automatically equip it instead of any other weapons they may possess. On one hand this is a minor inconvenience for offensive magical units such as theSage family, as it prevents them from being able to properly respond to enemy-phase attacks with their proper weapons. On the other hand, the game compensates for this with every staff having a bonus effect on their equipper; for instance, most healing staves will restore small amounts of HP to their wielder at the beginning of a turn, while several staves offer minor stat boosts.
As part of this,Radiant Dawn also allows staff-users the ability to counterattack if, on the enemy's phase, they are attacked at 1 range. The counterattacks are, by design, fairly weak and insubstantial: all staves have only onemight meaning that the counterattack's damage is determined almost entirely based on the user'sstrength, a stat which tends to be very low among staff users. Staves partially compensate for this with their excellentcritical rates, which give decent chances of inflictingcritical hits. Staves of higher weapon levels have higher critical rates, and the two SS-rank staves—Matrona and theAshera Staff—each have 100 crit, the highest by far of any item in theFire Emblem series.
Staff counterattacks do not consume the staff'sdurability, but do provide experience andweapon experience.
Staves are also equipped inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light but the user cannot counterattack and no benefits are provided to the user.
In-universe role
Staves are usually treated by the series' story materials as being much like light magic in that the ability to use them is rooted in divine faith and service.[2] Most of the primary staff-wielding classes, such as the Priest,Cleric, andBishop, are presented as religious acolytes and almost all members of these classes, as well as other staff users outside of these such asL'Arachel, are servants of religious orders themselves. However, this is not the case for most other classes, with even advanced dark magic-wielding classes usually being able to use staves as well. The magic of healing staves works by supplementing and enhancing the natural ability of living bodies to regenerate when wounded, presumably drastically speeding up this healing process.[3]
Calculations
These are general calculations which apply to multiple or all staves in a game. For the specific formulas for individual staves' amount of HP healed or range, see their individual pages.

Character's staves
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade andNew Mystery of the Emblem each contain a themed staff named for an individual character, but are not locked specifically to them; two more such staves appear inFates. The one such staff inNew Mystery of the Emblem sells for zerogold. Staves are one of two usable item types inAwakening that do not include character-themed entries (the other beingstones).
All of these staves are healing staves.

Wrys: No, I don't do that.
