Weight (Japanese:重さWeight) is a stat applied to weapons in theFire Emblem series. It is concerned with the physical weight of the weapons and, accordingly, the ability of units to successfully wield weapons depending on their weight. Weight is used in theattack speed formula, typically subtracted from a unit'sspeed to simulate a heavy, large or otherwise cumbersome weapon slowing the unit down. FromThracia 776 onward, excludingEchoes: Shadows of Valentia, the effect of weight on units is mitigated somewhat by theconstitution orstrength stats; depending on the game, these stats are thrown into the formula and subtracted from the weapon's weight, allowing units with higher constitution/strength to suffer less of an attack speed penalty from wielding heavier weapons.

Weight is completely absent inNew Mystery of the Emblem,Awakening, andFates; attack speed in these games is determined based on speed alone.
