Critical Rush
TheCritical Rush is a mechanic inFire Emblem Warriors andFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. It occurs when an enemy's stun gauge is fully depleted, and allows a unit to quickly deal a lot of damage to its target as well as surrounding enemies.
Mechanics
A Critical Rush can be activated once a target's stun gauge is fully depleted. InWarriors, they occur automatically when a player unit approaches the enemy whose stun gauge was depleted, while inWarriors: Three Hopes, the player has to activate it by pressing a button (X by default).
Depleting the stun gauge
The stun gauge can appear on all commander foes except Base Captains. It appears when the player lands certain attacks on an enemy, or when one of the following conditions is met:
- The player performs a Perfect Guard on one of that enemy's attacks
- The player's attack knocks the enemy back
- The enemy is hit by anadjutant's follow-up attack
- The player dealsbonus damage to the enemy
- The player uses acombat art ormagic(Three Hopes only)
- The enemy is preparing to use acombat art ormagic(Three Hopes only)
Additionally, all attacks by anawakened unit reveal the stun gauge.
The stun gauge depletes faster if a unit has an advantage (such asweapon triangle advantage) against a unit.
Critical Rush
If a unit's stun gauge is fully depleted, the player can perform a Critical Rush. However, if the player takes too long to act, the enemy's stun gauge will be fully restored. If multiple enemies' stun gauges are depleted at once, the player cannot perform multiple Critical Rushes at once, but they can chain multiple Critical Rushes after each other.
Critical Rushes are focused on the enemy whose stun gauge was depleted, and deal damage based on a unit'sskill ordexterity stat. They will also damage all enemies within a certain range of that enemy. If the enemy survives a Critical Rush, their stun gauge is fully restored.
Monsters
InWarriors: Three Hopes, allmonster enemies have four different stun gauges that are visible at all times. They can be depleted by attacking the monster with a weapon or combat art the monster is weak against. The monster's weaknesses are displayed next to its stun gauges. Each monster has four weaknesses: three against a certain weapon type, and one against a certainelement. Once a monster's stun gauge is depleted, the player may perform a Critical Rush, but unlike other enemies, this Critical Rush is guaranteed to take out the monster's current health bar. Additionally, once a monster'sHP reaches 1 on its final health bar, the player will be given the opportunity to perform a Critical Rush. Monsters cannot be defeated without the use of a Critical Rush.
Monsters' stun gauges will not be restored, and therefore, the player cannot target the same weakness multiple times.
