Recommended Skills

	Perceptive+ If the unit initiates combat, grants Avo+30 during combat. Avo increases with high Spd. Marth Bond Level 16
	Knife Precision 5 Grants Hit/Avo+15 when using a knife. Leif Bond Level 19
	Strength +6 Grants Str+6. Roy Bond Level 19
	Alacrity++ If unit initiates combat with a Spd advantage of 5 or more, unit's follow up (if possible) occurs before foe can counterattack. Lyn Bond Level 18
	Str/Dex +5 Grants Str+5 and Dex+5. Edelgard Bond Level 18

Merrin has particularly good growths in her Dex, and exceptional growths in Spd. However, she is somewhat lacking in Str and defensive stats to be reliable as a frontliner.

Take Perceptive+ along with Knife Precision 5 to make Merrin a viable initiatior. This playstyle emphasizes her personal skill Knightly Escort, as it makes space for a nearby ally to finish off Merrin's initial target.

Consider inheriting Strength +6 or Str/Dex +5 along with Alacrity++. This combo, paired with Merrin's high mobility, gives her the damage needed to deal with backliners such as mages and archers.

Merrin Best Emblem

Recommended Emblems

Corrin	Lyn	Eirika	Lucina

Lyn provides the speedy Merrin with surviability in the form of offense. Alacrity coupled with Merrin's high Mov and Spd afford Merrin the reach for dealing with backline units.

Corrin's Pair Up makes Merrin more survivable, as she doesn't get affected by Chain Attacks while she is behind enemy lines.

Eirika supplements Merrin with both offense and defense with Lunar Brace, Solar Brace, and Dodge +. If Merrin is classed into a Wolf Knight, Eirika's Twin Strike is granted a bonus to damage.

Dual Assist and Dual Strike allow Merrin to participate in Chain Attacks. This is especially useful because Knives can trigger poison stacks via Chain Attacks. This makes it easy to stack multiple instances of Poison on a single target.

Merrin Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Merrin

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 Merrin 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.

Merrin's Memento

The manuscript Merrin and I are working on—a symbol of our devotion to each other. We will fill its pages with the story of our life together.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Merrin 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.
