Holy Blood

Holy Blood (血統 Kettō, literally Blood Lineage) is a stat feature that is unique to Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. It affects certain stat growths, and also determines the holy weapon a given character is able to wield. Holy Blood is said to physically manifest in the form of a special mark unique to each crusader's descendants (Eg: Diadora was recognized as having major Naga blood by a mark on her forehead, normally hidden by her circlet). In the backstory of Seisen no Keifu, Holy Blood originated from the Miracle at Darna, whereby twelve gods descended upon the earth during the time of the continent's crisis. These gods blood-bonded with the Twelve Crusaders, bestowing upon them weapons and the strength needed to overthrow the Lopto Empire.

Holy Blood is split into two categories: Minor and Major. These two blood types are further split into 13 different sub-categories, based on each of the Twelve Crusaders: Baldo, Odo, Hezul, Noba, Dain, Neir, Ulir, Blagi, Fala, Tordo, Holsety, Naga, and Loptous. It is not fully understood as to how Holy Blood is passed on to the children characters, considering how Major Blood status is only granted to certain children.

Holy Blood is displayed on a large roulette-circle on the individual characters' status information page. This circle is split into twelve equal parts, with a thirteenth part showing up as a smaller circle in the middle. Each part has an open small circle with each respective crusader's name next to it, alongside the icon of said Holy Blood type. Minor Blood is indicated by a blue circle glowing faintly, and it raises a given character's weapon rank by one level in his/her respective crusaders' weapon type. Major Blood is indicated by a similar blue circle that glows with an incandescent radiance. It doubles Holy Blood growth bonuses, and also automatically raises a given character's weapon rank to * in his/her respective crusaders' weapon type. They may also equip the holy weapon of their lineage. Loptous Blood is indicated by a purple circle giving off narcotic vibes in the middle of this circle. Note that this particular Holy Blood type may only be viewed on Alvis and Yurius's status screens.

Characters in the first generation may pass down their own Holy Blood on to their children in the second generation. Depending on the pairings chosen by the player, certain children characters will be able to wield Holy weapons of their respective blood lineages.
