A round of battle in Fire Emblem is made up of one or more Attack Sets, which are performed consecutively. In the following, the character which started the battle is referred to as the Initiator and the character being attacked is referred to as the Victim. An Attack Check refers to the system checking whether the character set to perform an Attack Set has such things as is in the correct range to attack the opponent, has a weapon equipped, hasn't had their attack cancelled by skills such as Guard, and so forth. For games without skills, the Skill Check segments can be disregarded.
