How Fire Emblem works:
There is a base Strength stat, and a weapon Strength stat. The Attack is then calculated by adding these values up.
If your character has 5 Strength and the weapon has a 8 Strength, then your dealt attack is 13 points of damage.
Then, the enemy's Defense value is deduced from that value, so if they have 2 Defense, they'll take 11 points of damage. If the Defense stat is equal or greater than 13, then it will either inflict 1 damage, or no damage at all, depending on the game.
To mix things up, there's an extra stat called Resilience which acts as a Magic Defense (it's a separated stat from Physical Defense), but the calculation is the same. Add Base Strength of the spell + Spell's Strength - Opponent's Resilience stat.
The simplicity of this stat is to make it easier to mentalize the possible damage, which is a good skill to have in a strategy game.
Additionally, there's the Hit Percentage, Doubling and Critical Percentage to track so this is why a simpler calculation system is better - there are a lot of things to keep track of.
