Fire Emblem characters are some of the most iconic and beloved of any series. Figures like Marth, Roy, Byleth, Ike, and many more have even appeared in Smash Bros. titles to introduce even more people to the series. Fire Emblem Engage is kind of a tribute to all those great characters thanks to the Emblem Ring system. These rings will not only let you summon your favorite heroes from the past, but also give you a bunch of buffs on top of that. With 12 in total, here's how to get each Emblem in Fire Emblem Engage and what they do.
Note that Emblems can be leveled up all the way to level 20, with new skills unlocking at each level. We will only list out the base skills you start out with at level 1 to keep things brief.
