Phoenix Mode is a mode that was introduced in and currently exclusive to Fire Emblem Fates.
Summary[]
Phoenix Mode is an easier mode for Fire Emblem Fates designed to allow the player to experience the game's story without serious gameplay challenge. As such, use of Phoenix Mode is restricted to the Normal difficulty, and cannot be paired with Hard or Lunatic. If the player switches to Phoenix Mode while playing on Hard or Lunatic, the difficulty will switch to Normal.
If a save file started on Classic Mode is switched to Phoenix Mode, it cannot be changed back to Classic mode, but it can be set to Casual Mode.
Function[]
Phoenix Mode is very similar to Casual Mode where the Permanent Death feature of Classic Mode is disabled. However, where Casual Mode still removes a unit who has lost all of their HP for the rest of the battle, Phoenix Mode merely incapacitates them until the start of the next Player Turn, where they are revived at full health. Enemy units are also unable to utilize Attack Stance and are only able to negate dual attacks in Guard Stance.
