Hit

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
Not to be confused with the actual calculated hit rate.

Hit (Japanese: 命中 Hit) is a stat applied to weapons in the Fire Emblem series, roughly analogious to a unit's skill stat. It acts as a base measure of accuracy inherent to weapons, and is used as a core part of calculating a unit's accuracy, or hit rate, with a given weapon in battle.

Of the weapon triangle and Trinity of Magic, swords, wind magic and light magic are traditionally associated with possessing the highest hit of their respective weapon groups, and thus the greatest raw accuracy; in compensation, they tend toward possessing lower might.
