| Sections marked with a✗ mean that units of the class type cannot cross this terrain under any circumstances. Sections listed ingreen mean that units of the class type can cross the terrain on their way to another tile, but are not allowed to end their turn, perform an action, or otherwise stop moving on it. Fliers only receive stat boosts from terrain if they are marked with a ; however, they receive HP recovery from all HP recovering terrain without this caveat. | |||||||||||||||
Altitude
In addition to the effects and boosts awarded by terrain as listed above,Radiant Dawn uniquely takes a unit's altitude compared to other units into account when calculating battle stats.
| Altitude effects inRadiant Dawn | ||
|---|---|---|
| Elevation | Damage | Hit rate |
| Unit is above their target | +2 | +50 |
| Unit is on the same plane as their target | 0 | 0 |
| Unit is below their target | 0 | -50 |
In maps with multiple levels of altitude, units can climb up to the next level by crossing any gap terrain connecting the two levels. However, gaps have a very high movement cost for infantry units, and cavalry units are not able to climb up gaps at all. Fliers are not slowed down at all by gaps. Units are not allowed to end their move on a gap, but must pass through it to at least the next available tile of normal terrain.
Other terrain stats
In all indoor chapters aside fromthe Part IV, Endgame, all mounted units (includingpegasus andwyvern fliers) will take a -2 penalty to theirmovement. This penalty remains until the end of the chapter.
Trivia
- InPath of Radiance, the detail windows showmagic defense as one of the possible terrain bonuses. However, there is no terrain in the game that gives such a bonus.
