Steal is a Skill that debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

Overview[]

This skill allows the player to pilfer gold and unequipped items from an adjacent foe, allowing them to obtain desired items, other than those that are droppable. However, the nature of these items can vary from game to game. Certain enemy brigands in Thracia 776 have the Steal skill, being the only non-thief class or promotion to ever be able to use this skill.

Steal is a recurring skill in the Fire Emblem series, and is used by the Thief. Thief Fighter, Rogue, Assassin, and Whisper classes.

In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the Thief skill is used by Thieves and Thief Fighters to acquire gold by attacking opposing units.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Steal first appears as the ability to acquire items from enemies, including weapons. Stealing weapons requires the users strength stat to exceed the weapon's weight. The character Lara maintains the Steal skill even if she promotes to Dancer.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, this skill appears in two forms, specifically that of Steal and Mug. In this game, Mug allows its user to steal items from a selected enemy unit at the expense of reducing the Accuracy and Avoid of all allies within a 3 square radius, while Steal allows its user to pilfer items from enemy units in battle.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, any item that requires a weapon rank cannot be stolen. For an item to be stolen, the user must possess a Speed stat higher than the unit he/she is stealing from. However, this is rarely an issue, due to the fact that they are relatively swift in nature. The does not apply to Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, the user and target's speed does not affect stealing.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, thieves will lose the ability to steal if they promote into the Assassin class. In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade thieves do not promote at all.

Steal is one of the three soldier skills of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and thus does not take up any capacity space. Additionally, when stealing a weapon, the thief's Strength stat must be higher than that of the weapon's weight in order to ensure a successful theft.

The Steal skill returns in Fire Emblem: Three Houses as an innate ability of the Thief class and can be learned by any character who masters the class. The ability allows the user to steal any non equippable item.

Steal returns in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as an innate ability of the Thief class, but it can no longer be learned through mastering the class. In this game, rather than granting the ability to steal, it instead increases the chances of a boss dropping an item.
