'''Constitution''' (Japanese: {{hl|体格|Taikaku}} ''Build''), abbreviated as '''Con''' | '''Constitution''' (Japanese: {{hl|体格|Taikaku}} ''Build''), abbreviated as '''Con''' or '''Cn'''; also known as '''Build''', abbreviated '''Bld'''; is a statistic applied to [[unit]]s that represents that unit's physical size. Its original function was to alleviate the effects of the [[Weight (weapon)|weight]] of the unit's currently-equipped [[weapon]] on that unit's [[attack speed]] in battle—prior to the statistic's introduction in ''Thracia 776'', units' attack speed bore the full brunt of a weapon's weight, often crippling users of heavy weapon types such as [[axe]]s. Constitution also affects whether or not units can rescue each other: in ''Thracia 776'' a unit with a higher constitution can rescue one with lower, but not vice versa. In later games with the rescue command, the Aid stat was introduced to allow mounted units to have a high rescuing capability without being able to easily wield heavy weapons, but it is still compared against the rescued unit's Constitution. | ||
In its introductory game, ''Thracia 776'', and {{title|Engage}}, Constitution (Build in ''Engage'') can increase when leveling up like any other stat, although its [[growth rates]] are commonly very low compared to other statistics, usually in the 5-20% range. All other games featuring Constitution keep it as a semi-static value like [[Movement]], only increasing in special circumstances like [[Class Change]]s or upon stat-boosting [[item]]s being used. | |||
Constitution was removed entirely in {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, and | The Constitution stat lost many of its functions in the [[Tellius]] games, {{title|Path of Radiance}} and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}: in the attack speed calculation, it was replaced by [[Strength]]; the [[Rescue (command)|rescuing]] calculation instead used the new [[Weight (unit)|weight]] stat; and Aid was removed entirely. It, however, retained some niche usage in the calculations for the [[Colossus]] and [[Shove]] skills, in ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'' respectively. | ||
Constitution was removed entirely in {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, and did not reappear until ''Engage''. | |||

--> | *According to Taeko Kaneda, game designer of ''Path of Radiance'', the reason that [[weight (unit)|weight]] was introduced was due to confusion over what the constitution stat was supposed to represent. According to Kaneda, in the previous titles, constitution included armor and equipment, but this was ambiguous; thus, ''Path of Radiance'' separated a unit's constitution (before armor and equipment) from weight.<ref>{{Cite web|quote='''Kaneda:''' By the way, the concept of “constitution” which appeared on characters in ''The Binding Blade'' and ''The Blazing Blade'' includes armor and equipment. However, since this wasn’t clearly stated anywhere, there were mistaken thoughts on some of the more delicate female characters in illustrations, such as “Is she actually a gigantic woman?” (laughs). Partly for this reason, “Radiance” separately displays constitution (before factoring armor) and weight. One’s mental image is important.|author=xkan|published=20 April 2020|retrieved=12 October 2020|url=https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2020/04/20/fire-emblem-path-of-radiance-staff-interview-n-o-m-82-may-2005/|title=Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Staff Interview (N.O.M 82 – May 2005)|site=kantopia}}</ref> | ||
