Enemy Units

Enemy Units are the units the Player fights in all 11 games in the Fire Emblem series. They are not controlled by the player, as they are the units you fight in every chapter. Soldier Units are very common in the enemy ranks, and in some games are even enemy only. Some enemy units can be recruited to become player units, like Joshua and Aran. The Enemy Units can only move during the Enemy phase, which occurs directly after the Player Phase. Enemy Units are usually represented by the colour red. A red health bar or a red circle around them, or simply tinted red clothes are present with all enemy units. Most enemies have more units than you, but usually are of lower stats than your characters.

Most Enemy Units are led by a boss character in each level, who usually has higher stats than the average enemy soldier, and is sometimes even in a different-tier class. Some chapters can be beaten by defeating this boss, while some others are beaten simply by routing the Enemy Units from the battlefield.
