Dexterity (技, Waza, lit. Technique), also called Skill in titles prior to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, is a character stat that affects a unit's hit rate and critical hit rate. It is also used to determine the activation rate of special abilities such as Lethality and Aether in certain games.
For the purposes of clarity/consistency, this article refers to the stat as Dexterity for all titles.
Effects
In combat, the Dexterity stat is one of several factors that affect an attacking unit's hit rate. When all other factors are held constant, the Dexterity stat is directly proportional to hit rate; i.e., higher Dexterity stat values equate to higher hit rates.
For an in-depth article on hit rate, see Hit Rate.
Additionally, the Dexterity stat is one of many factors that influence an attacking unit's critical hit rate. As with hit rate, when all other factors are held constant, the Dexterity stat is directly proportional to critical hit rate.
For an in-depth article on critical hit rate, see Critical rate.
Certain Fire Emblem titles feature various special abilities called "skills" that affect a unit's offensive, defensive, or supportive abilities when activated. The activation rate of certain special abilities may be influenced by the Dexterity stat value in one way or another. The Dexterity stat is directly proportional to the activate rate of these special abilities.
In Fire Emblem Awakening, the Dexterity stat influences the probability of activating a dual strike whenever units are paired up. It is directly proportional to activation rate of dual strikes.
In TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga, there is no unified Dexterity stat. Instead, there is a collection of "weapon skill" stats, which encompass each individual weapon type, magic type, and shields. In practice, the stat is closer to the weapon level system seen in the Fire Emblem series than a traditional character stat. Compared to other stats in the game, weapon skill grows much faster due to both an above average growth rate, and also having a chance to grow after every battle in which the relevant weapon/magic/shield type was used. Almost all characters require their weapon skill to be at least a certain level before they can promote. This weapon skill stat does not affect critical hit rate until it is above 50.
In Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, due to a departure of traditional Fire Emblem combat in favor of Dynasty Warriors-derived hack and slash combat, the Dexterity stat works differently in these titles. In both titles, the Dexterity stat governs how much damage a weakpoint smash/critical rush deals. In FEW, the Dex stat also is the stat that dictates the strength of both Warrior and Awakening Specials, not Strength or Magic, resulting in units like Elise having weaker than normal Specials than most of the cast due to her being in the low side of max Dex.
Certain weapons influence a unit's Dexterity stat when they are equipped or used in combat. Additionally, some weapons have effects that are influenced by the Dexterity stat. Here are those such weapons in their respective titles:
