Link Arena with all GBA Units
Introduction
This is a small patch I created after seeing Mekkah’s Link Arena video which places units and items from fe6 and fe7 into fe8 so they can all be used in a single Link Arena match. Because there can only be 50 player units in a barracks at any time, units will need to be selected manually before going to Link Arena mode.
Features
- Individually summon units to create a custom Link Arena team
- 3 modes – base stats, 20/20 averages, and capped stats
- Trade items and stat boosters to units freely
- Use Legendary weapons from fe6 and fe7

This link takes you to the ups patch, whose base game is FE8U. There are two folders containing patches by different authors. Tristan’s version is the base game, which has a choice between a regular version, a ‘no skills’ version that removes pavise and the other fe8 skills excluding Silencer, and an ‘fe6 edition’ that has fe6 items and some mechanics like 30 crit swordmasters. The_Big_Dededester’s version is an expansion that adds new units and other features. You can check out a more detailed description at this page below.
Version History
v 1.33 (regular version only)
- Fixed a bug in the regular version that reverted all the changes in v1.31
v 1.32
- Fixed Athos’s animation, although the cape whoosh is excluded
- Nomads and Nomad troopers are no longer susceptible to cavalry effective weapons
- S-rank weapons can now be used at A-rank
- fe6 edition - swordmaster and similar classes crit bonus is now 30
- fe6 edition - S rank weapon hit and crit bonuses are removed
v 1.31
- Fixed Palettes
- Fixed a bug where Melady failed to promote properly
- Adjusted Con for fe6/fe7 male heros to take into the +1 con fe8 male heros have. As a result,
fe6/fe7 mercenaries will have 1 less con than usual, which is fixed on promotion - Added a special fe6 edition branch. At this time, I do not plan on updating this branch alongside the others. The fe6 edition patch features promotions for the fe6 thieves and uses fe6 versions of weapons. Get your 45 hit hammers and 6 weight nosferatus ready. Shine, Wind Sword, and Dragonspear are replaced by Aircalibur, Al’s sword, and Gant’s lance respectively.

Conclusion
If you find any unknown bugs or average stat errors, please let me know in the comments section. If you have suggestions feel free to post them as well but depending on the scale no guarantees. I hope you enjoy Link Arena-ing with a wide variety of units!
