Weapon triangle
A now renowned feature of the Fire Emblem games. Basically each weapon type fared better or worse against other weapon types. Fighting stats are increased if an advantageous weapon type is used and, conversely, they are decreased if a disadvantageous weapon type is used. The "triangle" part refers to the rock-paper-scissors design. For physical weapons, Sword beats Axe, Axe beats Lance and Lance beats Sword.
