Theres the ones for Fe7

1 Luck = 1 hit, 1 avoid, 1 dodge, at least in the more recent FEs. Dunno about FE5 and earlier.

Actually 1 Lck = 1 Eva, 1 Ddg, and .5 Hit in Fe6-8.

Fixed

*smacks Leo*

Ddg is the real FE term for Crt Eva.

:hmm: First time I've ever heard of Crt Eva being referred to a Ddg.

Play FE9

Open a character's sheet.

You'll notice the 'dodge' stat matches their luck.

Well that makes sense seeing how have never played FE9. >.>

O rite, I'd forgotten about that.

Leo, go 'way. Dx

It's your first time playing FE?

I already stated that I've never played FE9. >.> As far as I know, GBA and SNES FE games don't list your Crt Eva. Only the net Crt that you or your enemy has.

So nothing snapped in your head that said Ddg might possibly equal crt eva?

It's not that big of a deal. He already realized his wrong, if you'd call it that. <__<;;

Not really. Dodge seems equivalent to Evade. >.>

That's stupid. Dodging criticals..?
Ugh, lost a small amount of respect for the 3D FEs. >_>;

You play too much final fantasy, Kovu. If you reeeeallly think about it, a critical is an attack that has hit a vital spot (neck, heart, artery). Which, in fire emblem, is reflected by your skill and for certain classes, your mastery of a weapon (not luck, like that horrendous evil square would have you believe). And thus, you would be dodging, moving in such a way so that your throat doesn't get torn out and instead, you just have a clavicle removed.

...I thought an FE critical just did more damage due to more momentum, since in the GBA games they always do that triple-spin thing of their weapon beforehand...>_>

Dodge is your ability to evade a hit in general, last I checked. In FE that's always been referred to as evade.
Evading a critical hit is completely based on luck, thus it's not so much dodging (any more than trying to evade a hit in general) but getting lucky (or, more accurately, not getting unlucky).

.. what does Final Fantasy have to do with any of this? I know the workings of the FE system (engine, whatever the heck you want to call it) far better than the FF system.

Maraj has a point as well, the critical strikes not only strike a vital area on the body but usually there's more oomph in the strike itself.

I don't see how CEV sounds better then dodge, actually. It just sounds like you're evading critically. >_>

I'm just waiting for Avoid to show up as a distinct defensive term.

Evade reduces the chances of getting Hit.
Critical Evade recudes the chances of getting Critically Hit.
