Weapons and Spells List

Why the numbers matter more than the names

A weapon list is only useful if it carries the numbers, because this game removed the weapon triangle and left each type to stand on its own mechanics. That makes the table below a planning tool rather than a shopping list: 101 entries, of which 74 carry a written effect that changes what the weapon does.

Weight and Uses are the two columns players skip and then regret. Weight decides whether a unit still follows up after attacking, which quietly decides more fights than raw might does, and Uses is durability, so the heaviest hitting weapon in a row is often a burst pick rather than the one you leave equipped. Curse is the odd column out: ordinary weapons leave it blank and cursed weapons fill it in, which is where the equipment page picks the story up.

Every recorded weapon and spell

The remaining 5 entries are listed in the source with a type that is not recorded yet, so they are named here without being assigned to a table: Beast Claw, Headbutt, Great Stinger, Water Strike, Trunk Attack.

The spell list, school by school

The Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave spell list runs to 14 entries, and every one of them sits in the table above with its school attached rather than being buried inside a class page. Black magic is the largest school, white magic follows it, and dark magic is the smallest of the three by a wide margin.

• Black magic: Fire, Thunder, Wind, Cutting Gale, Blizzard, Bolganone, Glass Wheel (7 recorded)
• Dark magic: Miasma Δ, Mire Β (2 recorded)
• White magic: Heal, Physic, Nosferatu, Seraphim, Starlight (5 recorded)

Casting does not work like a sword swing. A spell carries a use count instead of a durability bar, nearly every entry reaches further than melee at a range of one to two tiles, and that extra tile is the reason a mage can stand behind a front line. Where the source leaves a might or a hit value blank for a spell, this page leaves it blank too rather than filling in a plausible number.

Which class gets to cast them is a separate question. The classes page lists the magical certifications and the mastery abilities that add Magic, and the cursed objects on the equipment page are what push a caster past its printed numbers.

How to read a row quickly

Read Might against Weight first, because that pair decides whether a weapon hits hard once or hits adequately twice, and follow up attacks are what most damage maths actually turns on. Then check Uses: a 10-use weapon with high might behaves like a consumable, so buying it early in a chapter and replacing it mid-map is normal rather than wasteful. Level tells you who can equip it at all, and because classes lock weapon types, a unit with no axe proficiency will never see use out of the best axe in the table.

Range is the quiet outlier in this game: bows cannot counter at melee range, so a bow with excellent numbers still leaves its wielder exposed next to an enemy, and a thrown weapon with mediocre numbers can be the safer pick in a corridor. Critical rate is the last column to weigh, since a critical build usually needs a skill or a cursed weapon behind it rather than the base rate alone.

What sits next to this table

Two other pages complete the gear picture. The equipment page covers cursed objects, which is where the Curse column above comes from and where the Blaze Art gauge rules live, and the classes page records which weapon types each class can actually carry at each tier. Between the three, the question of what to equip stops being a guess.

Where a value is blank in the source, the table leaves it blank rather than filling in a plausible number, and the 5 untyped entries above are named without being sorted into a category that the source does not give them.

Frequently asked questions

How many weapons are in Fortune's Weave?

The weapon and spell table checked lists 101 entries across swords, spears, axes, bows, gauntlets, black magic, dark magic and white magic, with a handful whose type is not recorded yet.

What does the Curse column mean?

Curse is a stat specific to this game. Ordinary weapons leave it blank and cursed weapons are what fill it in, which is why the cursed objects on the equipment page are worth reading alongside this table.

Which weapon type should a unit carry?

That depends on the class, because classes lock weapon types rather than the triangle deciding it: there is no weapon triangle in this game, and each type instead has its own baseline mechanic such as spears beating cavalry and bows beating fliers.

What do Might, Hit and Uses mean here?

Might is base attack power, Hit is base accuracy, and Uses is durability, so a weapon with high Might and low Uses is a burst option rather than a workhorse. Weight matters separately because it decides whether the wielder can follow up.

Quick answers

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave weapons are locked to classes rather than balanced by a triangle, so the Fortune's Weave weapons list above is best read together with the classes page: the question is rarely which sword is strongest, it is which of your units can hold it. Cursed weapons are the exception the Curse column marks, and those belong with the cursed objects on the equipment page because they are what feed the Blaze Art gauge.
