Item (Equipment/Ring)

First game

Fire Emblem Gaiden

The Prayer Ring (Japanese: 祈りの指輪 Prayer Ring) is an accessory item in the ring category of equipment introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden and appearing also in its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. In Gaiden, the Prayer Ring heals 5 HP to the bearer each turn and, if the bearer still has less than half of their maximum HP remaining, their critical rate is boosted to 100%, making the effects of the ring more similar to Wrath than Miracle (Prayer in Japanese), though the ring predates both skills. In Shadows of Valentia and Three Houses, it retains the HP recovery effect but instead gives the Miracle skill, making it closer in function to the Miracle Band in Genealogy of the Holy War. Notably, while the skill being granted is obvious in Shadows of Valentia due to the game listing equipment skills in the user's skill list, in Three Houses only the ring's HP recovery effect is mentioned in its description and equipment skills are not listed anywhere. This leaves the ring's secondary effect entirely hidden from the player until it activates in battle.

Trivia

  • In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the Wrath skill is present, but appears to be unused. It is possible it was originally to be used for the Prayer Ring line with Gaiden, but was scrapped in favor of Miracle.

Etymology and other languages

Names, etymology, and in other regions
Language Name Definition, etymology, and notes
English

Prayer Ring

"Prayer" is in reference to the skill it gives, though the localization muddies this somewhat. The Miracle skill is known as "Prayer" in Japanese; despite the skill itself being renamed for English releases, the localized name of the ring ended up retaining its Japanese name.

English
(unofficial)

• Prayer Ring
• Miracle Ring

• Used in the Gaiden fan translation and related fan-materials.
• Used by Serenes Forest before the release of Shadows of Valentia, in attempt to predict the localized name and bring it in line with the Miracle Skill's (Prayer in Japanese) localized name.
