Drop is a game mechanic present throughout the Fire Emblem franchise.
Overview[]
Dropping is an enemy mechanic where, upon their defeat, the player acquires a specific item in their inventory. These items are generally highlighted in their inventory with green text and enemies usually carry only one Dropped item if at all. On a rare occasion, the player may preemptively obtain these items if a Thief character can Steal it, though Legendary Weapons and weapons equipped by that character are usually exempt from this.
Treasure plundered from Chests on a map by an enemy character are always a Dropped item whenever the player defeats them. If they have plundered multiple chests on the map, the player usually acquires all of the dropped items upon their defeat.
