Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes — Combat Arts Explained
Combat Arts were first added in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. These were attacks and spells equipped with a weapon instead of a Class. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Combat Arts were learned from improving weapon proficiency and would cost more of a weapon's durability when using them in battle. The Combat Arts mechanic in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a bit stricter than Three Houses in order to fit its hack-and-slash gameplay.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using Combat Arts in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Knowing which ones to bring into battle will give players the advantage against their enemies. However, while Combat Arts can be powerful, using them too much per level can break a unit's weapon. Thus, it's best to know what to look for when equipping Combat Arts to a character.
