New Gameplay Features

Emblem and Bond Rings

Emblem Rings are key items in Fire Emblem Engage's story. There are 12 Emblem Rings the player must collect throughout the story, with each Emblem Ring able to unlock a past hero from the Fire Emblem series, such as Marth, Celica, and Sigurd. Each Emblem Ring and their corresponding hero provide different variations of stat boosts and special combat skills when synced in battle.

At the Ring Chamber in the Somniel home base, you can deepen your bond with the Emblem heroes in order to inherit more skills from the Emblem Rings.

Engaging With Emblems

In combat, your Engage Meter will gradually fill up over time. Once filled, you can engage with your Emblem Ring in order to unlock Engage Weapons, Engage Skills, and Engage Attacks for three turns. This temporary powerup helps deal devastating blows to the opponent. Outside of combat, some Engage Skills also alter or help you traverse battlefield to your advantage.

Unit Types

In Fire Emblem Engage, unit types make the different units on the battlefield even more distinctive by giving these units special attacks and abilities. Units are classified into different typings, such as Flying, Armored, Backup (sword, lance, and axe users), Mystical (tome users), and more.

Break Status Effect

Weapons wielded by the different units come with certain advantages and disadvantages over other weapons. This means that it's crucial to choose a weapon/unit that has an advantage over the opposing unit.

The new Break Status is inflicted on an enemy when you land an attack with a weapon that has advantage. Broken units cannot launch a counterattack until after their next attack, which gives you a wider window for your offensive.
