The Transformation gauge (sometimes referred to as the Transformation meter) is a way to keep track of when Laguz can enter their transformed states and when they will enter their untransformed states, if they are transformed. When it is full, they can transform into their animal forms and when it is empty, they will be forced to revert to their human forms.

In Path of Radiance[]

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the capacity of the transformation gauge is 20. In human form, this increases by 4 each turn naturally (incluiding the very first phase, before any action is taken), and engaging in combat adds 2 to the gauge. In animal form, it decreases by 3 each turn naturally, and engaging in further combat reduces it by 1. The Demi Band and the Laguz Band max out and prevent the gauge from draining, allowing for immediate and permanent transformation. Different laguz characters start out with different values of this gauge:

Cats

  • Lethe: 16, immediately transforms on the first player's phase.
  • Ranulf: 10

Tigers

Dragons

Herons

Hawks

  • Janaff: 16, immediately transforms on the first player's phase.
  • Ulki: 5

In Radiant Dawn[]

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the capacity of the transformation gauge is 30. All laguz start out with the gauge at zero, but the rate at which the gauge increases and decreases varies by laguz tribe, and occasionally by character.

For each numerical value below, the first positive value is how much the gauge increases in human form, while the second negative value is how much the gauge decreases in animal form.

  • Cats: +10/-5 per turn, +15/-4 per round of combat
  • Tigers: +8/-4 per turn, +15/-3 per round of combat
  • Wolves: +6/-4 per turn, +10/-3 per round of combat
  • Lions: +5/-3 per turn, +10/-2 per round of combat
  • Ravens: +6/-4 per turn, +10/-3 per round of combat
  • Hawks: +8/-4 per turn, +15/-3 per round of combat
  • Reyson: +4/-5 per turn, +10/-6 per round of combat
  • Rafiel: +3/-5 per turn, +6/-8 per round of combat
  • Leanne: +3/-5 per turn, +8/-8 per round of combat
  • Ena/Gareth: +5/-2 per turn, +6/-1 per round of combat
  • Nasir: +4/-2 per turn, +5/-1 per round of combat
  • Kurthnaga: +5/-2 per turn, +6/-1 per round of combat
