Support bonuses inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Like the GBA games, supports inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance are ranked, two-way, and active when units are within three spaces of each other; a unit can have up to five levels of support. The bonuses from a support are determined by summing the bonuses from the two units' affinities per level of support, rounded down as relevant.
| Bonuses from affinities | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affinity | Atk | Def | Hit | Avo | ||
 Fire | +0.5 | +0 | +2.5 | +0 | ||
 Thunder | +0 | +0.5 | +0 | +2.5 | ||
 Wind | +0 | +0 | +2.5 | +2.5 | ||
 Water | +0.5 | +0.5 | +0 | +0 | ||
 Dark | +0.5 | +0 | +0 | +2.5 | ||
 Light | +0 | +0.5 | +2.5 | +0 | ||
 Heaven | +0 | +0 | +5 | +0 | ||
 Earth | +0 | +0 | +0 | +5 | ||
InPath of Radiance, one point is earned toward a support between two units each time they are both deployed at the beginning of a chapter. For example, Ike and Oscar gain a point toward their support inChapter 2 (since they are both deployed at the beginning of the chapter), but Ike and Titania do not (since Titania is not deployed at the beginning of the chapter).Chapter 17 counts as a single chapter for this purpose, and any reinforcements called in subsequent parts of that chapter do not gain points toward their supports.
After enough points are earned toward a support, a level is unlocked by viewing a conversation at thebase in the next chapter.
Path of Radiance additionally features hidden innate supports. These innate supports are active only when two units are adjacent, and can be separated into two types: critical hit bonuses, which are mutual and increase a pair's critical hit rate by 5 or 10 points (depending on the pair); and critical immunity bonuses, which are one-way and negate an enemy's critical hit rate against the supported unit.[1]
List of two-way supports
Once a support level is unlocked, the characters involved both get the bonuses when they are within three spaces of each other.
