List of Trial Maps in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

This is a list of Trial Maps in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. In Fuuin no Tsurugi, Trial Maps are unlocked either by completing the game under certain conditions or through V-Jump download events. The player uses their army from completed saves to challenge the maps.

Note: For accuracy, some of the names used here may differ from those used in the most proliferated fan translation patch.

Downloadable Trial Maps

These four maps are all associated with V-Jump Magazine contests run after Fuuin no Tsurugi's release. All four maps have to be externally loaded manually into the game data, and do not actually exist in the game by default. As a result, combined with the very limited scope of the contest giveaways, little is known about them.

Exclusive characters

The following eight characters can be unlocked through repeated completion of the game for use in Trial Maps. They are not tied to any specific save file, rather appearing in the army of any cleared save file when in Battle Preparations for a Trial Map. With the exceptions of Hector, Eliwood and Guinevere, they come with the same items they used in their main story role, which can be traded to any other unit in the army.
