What are Unit Types?
Give Units Different Abilities and Buffs
In Fire Emblem Engage, units have different typings that give them special abilities or bonuses that you can strategize your battle around. You can view your selected unit's type on the bottom left corner of the battle screen.
Strategically choose which Unit Type you want equipped with an Emblem Ring
Make sure to utilize the unit type's unique abilities and bonuses in order to defeat enemies more efficiently. For example, equipping Celica's Emblem Ring on a unit with the Mystical Unit Type will provide both an advantage to the Unit Type and Emblem, since Celica specializes in magic attacks and the Mystical Unit Type unleashes its effect when the unit attacks with magic.
Additionally, Engage Skills and Attacks could also get certain buffs when equipped with different Unit Type. For example, Celica's Engage Attack Warp Ragnarok
gains a +5 square bonus when used by a unit with the Flying Unit Type.
