A Band (腕輪 udewa - bracelet; bangle) is a special equipment type that appears exclusively in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Profile[]

Bands become available for use in Path of Radiance when starting a second playthrough. Each band is based on a specific class and when equipped by a character will affect stat boosts that occur when that character levels up. Characters can only equip one band at a time.

There are a total of eleven bands in the game. Eight appear in the inventories of select playable characters and will become available to the player when they are recruited. The remaining three are acquired by defeating specific bosses.

Trivia[]

Curiously enough, in the localized version, the Paladin and Knight Bands have their names exchanged from the original Japanese.

  • The 騎士 (Kishi), in 騎士の腕輪 (Kishi no Udewa), means "knight" in Japanese, with the first character being a counter for horsemen. It comes equipped by Oscar, who belongs to the ランスナイト Lance Knight class.
  • The character that comes equipped with the Knight Band (重歩兵の腕輪/Heavy Infantry Bracelet), Gatrie, belongs to the アーマーナイト Armor Knight class. The word 重歩兵 (Juuhohei) is composed by the characters for 重 "heavy" 歩 "walk" and 兵 "soldier".
  • Upon promotion, Lance Knights change into パラディン Paladins, while Armor Knights change into ジェネラル Generals. This may be the reasoning behind the name change.
  • This inversion of names is similar to how Alondite and Ettard had their names exchanged in the localized version. Japanese Black Knight sports the mighty エタルド/Ettard, while Japanese Ike has the unique アロンダイト/Alondite in his inventory as his initial equipment in FE10. The names are inverted in the localized version.
