Class	Class Details
Lindwurm	Proficiency: S B Unlock Via: Master Seal
	Grasping Void When attacking with a tome, unit may deal extra damage = half of foe's Mag. Trigger %=Dex.

▶︎ List of All Classes

Recommended Skills

	Draconic Hex If unit initiates combat, inflicts -4 to all of foe's basic stats after combat. (Penalties shrink by 1 each turn.) Corrin Bond Level 8
	Magic +5 Grants Mag+5. Celica Bond Level 19
	Resonance+ When equipped with a tome, if unit's HP is 2 or more, unit loses 1 HP at start of combat and deals +3 damage during combat. Celica Bond Level 16

Draconic Hex works well with Ivy's Single-Minded. This combo can be supplemented by using Celica's Echo, which almost guarantees a 2-Turn kill.

Include a setup unit such as Seadall, or an ally who uses Byleth's Goddess Dance, and Ivy can decimate most foes.

As a Mystical unit, Ivy's stat growths in Mag are mediocre, but her stat growths in Spd, Def, and Res are relatively high. Boost her offensive capabilities with skills such as Resonance+ and Magic +5.

Ivy Best Emblem

Recommended Emblems

Micaiah

Celica

Edelgard

Micaiah protects Ivy with Silence Ward and Res +. She also allows Ivy to take on the role of a pseudo healer with Augment if you happen to have no access to one.

Celica provides Ivy with magic damage and a way to reposition herself through Warp Ragnarok. Additionally, Echo triggers her personal skill Single-Minded, which can be compounded by first inheriting the skill Draconic Hex from Corrin.

Edelgard is a DLC emblem and is unavailable in the base version of the game. If you do have access to her, Bow Guard covers Ivy's weakness to Bows, and Ivy's unhindered Flying movement can help set up the different Gambit skills.

Ivy Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Ivy

After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.

Alear can then give the ring to Ivy once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.

Ivy's Memento

Ivy's fascinator. She was blushing when she gave me this symbol of her devotion.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Ivy after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from her.

While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
