Learn how to use Warrior Specials and fill the Warrior Gauge in fire emblem warriors three hopes. Unlock multiple gauges via the Tactics Academy starting Chapter 6.

Warrior Specials are powerful, invulnerable attacks in fire emblem warriors three hopes that consume a filled Warrior Gauge. You can only use a Warrior Special when your Warrior Gauge is filled, and you are completely invulnerable for the duration of this attack, making it useful both as an offensive “I win” button, but also as a desperate move you can use when the enemy has you on the ropes!

If you have an Adjutant assigned when you perform a Warrior Special, your Adjutant will join in with their own Warrior Special preceding the Warrior Special of the currently controlled character. This earns you [Support Points] between the two characters.

You can fill your Warrior Gauge(s) by damaging enemies, sustaining damage, or picking up yellow tonics on the battlefield. Certain Unique and Class Abilities may also alter how Warrior Specials function and the Warrior Gauge fills.
