Fire Emblem Engage – What Does Dexterity (Dex) do?

Dex, or rather Dexterity as the full word it is referring to, is the stat that demonstrates the hit rate or frequency of units landing a critical hit. This is arguably one of the most important stats for any character, since landing any critical hit tends to be a killer blow each and every time. This becomes an extremely important late-stage stat to consistently raise at every given opportunity due to the increase of the enemies’ ability to dodge and avoid hits tends to be where the greatest challenges comes from with each and every battle.

It goes without saying that due to the nature of the stat, units that will benefit most from it are those with base stats already being higher than the average unit. This tends to be units like Snipers, Thieves and Swordmasters.

Other than having to hope that this stat increases by levelling up said unit, there are options to manipulate the value of it further for units. Items like the Dexterity Tonic gives 2 additional points to a unit’s Dex total for a whole battle duration, while the obtainable item of the Secret Book that can only be found in certain chapters and as skirmish clearing rewards can boost the Dex amount by 2 permanently. The new item feature of the Crystals are to be put towards augmenting Engage weapons to boost the weapon’s Dex value. This can be obtained by completing Tower Trials.
