Unit Types Explained

Unit Type is a mechanic intended to organize units into roles and archetypes in Fire Emblem Engage. Read on to see a list of all unit types, applicable classes for each unit type, and all the available unit type bonuses!

List of All Unit Types

Dragon

Dragons are usually characterized by their ability to transform themselves or parts of their bodies into those of Dragons. In Fire Emblem Engage, these units are highly adaptable because of their access to multiple bonuses when using Engage Skills.

Cavalry

Cavalry units are mounted units with naturally high Mov. These units are popularly used as scouts or sweepers that chase down fleeing targets.

Mystical

Mystical units are an infantry type unit that focus on magical attacks. Mystical units are essentially the magical version of glass cannons.

Flying

Flying units are characters that ignore terrain completely. These units are often utilized as low-risk sources of damage, as they can position themselves in unreachable areas and use ranged attacks and magic to their advantage. It is important to note that all Flying units share a weakness to Bows to offset their superior positioning capabilities.

Backup

Backup units are the footsoldier equivalents in Fire Emblem Engage. They are characterized by their ability to swarm a single foe with an assault of Chain Attacks.

Qi Adept

Qi Adepts are a new unit type in Fire Emblem Engage. They signify Pugilists and Fighters. Opposites of Backup units, Qi Adepts offer surviability and support abilities instead of offensive skills.

Covert

Covert units are the assassin equivalents of Fire Emblem Engage. They have above average Eva, high burst damage potential, and have low survivability.

Armored

The Armored Unit Type is a classification of characters that have high defenses and survivability. This is usually offset by their low Mov and Spd.

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.
