Wildheart
| ||||||
|
Wildheart (Japanese: 半化身 Halfbeast) is a skill exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Exclusively usable by all laguz except the heron tribe, it allows laguz units to ignore their transformation gauge and "halfshift":[1] to shift into their animal state at any time, in exchange for receiving only half the usual stat boosts when transformed. It replaces the Demi Band item of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, which performed the same function.
Starting from Part I, Endgame, regular transformation will be available to units when Wildheart is equipped, so long as they wait for their transformation gauge to refill in human form. If the unit were to halfshift and then revert, their gauge will be entirely drained. While halfshifted, gauge will still drain, and the laguz unit can find themselves reverting during the enemy phase as a result of combat.

Trivia
- In the NTSC-U version, Wildheart's help text erroneously claims that the skill reduces experience gain. The PAL version corrected this to say the skill reduces "ability points" (stats) gained by shifting. This error was not present in the Japanese version.
