Summary
Fire Emblem is a turn-based tactical RPG developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo. The series is known for it's unique mechanic of permanent death, where if a character falls in battle, they will be gone for the rest of the game. The games typically take place a medieval fantasy setting, featuring different characters and worlds, but all existing within the same multiverse.
The first game in the series, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light was released in Japan on the Family Computer on April 20, 1990. It wasn't until the introduction of Marth and Roy in Super Smash Bros. Melee that characters from the series were introduced to the west, and later on November 3rd, 2003 when the first entry, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade was released in North America.
The series was at one point at risk of cancellation due to poor sales. However, the success of Fire Emblem Awakening ensured that the series would not be cancelled. Now, Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's largest franchises, with 18 mainline games, and features many spin-offs, and crossovers with other franchises.
Power of the Verse
Fodder characters in most Fire Emblem games have been known to withstand the Meteor tome, which packs Town levels of destruction. In the GBA games, fodder characters scale to Large Building level due to being able to cast Fimbulvetr, and trade blows with enemies on similar power levels. In the Tellius games, most characters reach Small City level via Rexbolt.
The peak of several entries have been known to reach Tier 6, with characters from Fire Emblem: Awakening reaching Large Island level via scaling to Grima, who's sheer size is capable of generating this amount of energy. There is also Fomortiis, who reaches Country level+ due to having enough energy to stop an earthquake that would've collapsed the southern half of a continent.
The most powerful character in the Tellius timeline, Ashunera is Multi-Continent level via flooding the entire world except for one continent. Even Yune, who is one half of Ashunera, seems to be capable of replicating this feat as well. Characters such as Ike and Micaiah both have the power of Yune, and thus scale to this rating. The Top Tiers of Fire Emblem: Three Houses also scale to this rating due to Sothis performing a similar feat of flooding the world.
Several entries in the series also reach Tier 4, notably characters from Fire Emblem: Fates, and Fire Emblem: Awakening, via scaling to the First Dragons, whose power is capable of creating dimensions with countless stars within them.
The crossover games feature much more powerful characters, with characters reaching Tier 2. Fire Emblem Warriors has Velezark the Chaos Dragon, a being who can distort the fabric of reality, and consume entire worlds and dimensions. In Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, characters reach Low Multiverse level via scaling to Medeus, who generated an earthquake that affected two universes upon waking up.
Fire Emblem Heroes, and by extension, Fire Emblem Engage features by far the most powerful characters in the entire series, with characters reaching Tier 1. Everyone in these entries can scale to, or scale above the Tempest, which can merge, distort, and eventually destroy worlds with several layers of existence, letting everyone scale to Complex Multiverse level as a result. Heroes also features the most powerful entity in Fire Emblem, Alfaðör, who is said to have created everything. However, he has only been referenced by name, and has yet to make an appearance.
A typical Fire Emblem character has Massively Hypersonic combat speed and reactions as many of them can dodge arrows, cloud to ground lightning attacks, and meteors on a regular basis. In Three Houses, characters have Faster than Light showings.
