Fire Emblem Engage: Emblem Edelgard, Dimitri & Claude Tidbits via Twitter

Following from yesterday’s Tiki post, today’s daily Fire Emblem Engage content is a better look at Emblems Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude, also available in Wave 1 of the Expansion Pass.

Their profile:

Emblems Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude (VA: Ai Kakuma, Kaito Ishikawa and Toshiyuki Toyonaga), known as the Emblems of the Three Houses, are three Emblems that reside in a single bracelet.

Similar to Eirika who shares with Ephraim, the three House Leaders all occupy the same slot/bracelet. Internally, they are probably listed as Edelgard.

How do they work?

When synced with Emblems Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude, one of the three is randomly selected during each turn. Their Sync skill “Lineage” grants 120% experience gain.

More precisely, their Sync skill “Friendly Rivalry” is what triggers the rotation.

Anyway, they’re fighting at Firene Castle, training against some Firenese soldiers. Nothing too special, but Alear has the Wille Granz sword. Also, when Engaged with Edelgard, Alear can use Dimitri’s Areadbhar. So weapon-wise, it doesn’t seem to matter which House Leader is currently active.

Edelgard’s sync skill:

Emblem Edelgard’s Sync skill “Flame Gambit” places flames on the opponent and the surrounding squares after combat.

Full name is Gambit: Raging Flames, based on Three Houses.

Fire Emblem Engage: Emblem Tiki Tidbits via Twitter

Note: I skipped over Pandreo’s profile for now.

I was curious if they would do it and they did. Today’s daily Fire Emblem Engage content is a better look at Emblem Tiki, who’s available in Wave 1 of the Expansion Pass.

Say “hi” to Tiki:

Emblem Tiki (VA: Sumire Morohoshi), also known as the Emblem of the Dragon Princess, is an innocent girl who carries the blood of the Divine Dragons.

A conversation with Tiki:

We saw bits of this in the Japanese Expansion Pass trailer. It seems to occur at the end of Tiki’s Divine Paralogue. From what she’s saying, I think we may run into other DLC Emblems in other paralogues.

Another look at Starsphere’s Protection:

Emblem Tiki’s Sync skill “Starsphere’s Protection” makes it easier for stats to increase during a Level Up. It’s a good idea to equip her bracelet on an ally that you want to make extra strong.

Fire Emblem Heroes: New Heroes from FE Engage Arrive!

To probably no-one’s surprise, the next New Heroes banner will feature characters from Fire Emblem Engage, which releases this Friday.

“Engage” runs from 17th January 2023 (UTC), a few days before the game itself launches.

(Japanese trailer here.)

The featured Heroes are Rearmed Alfred, Céline, Chloé and female Alear. Unless I missed it, none of these Heroes are in the 4-star focus category.

Etie can be obtained from quests, while Lumera will be from the next Grand Hero Battle. She’s the boss of the tutorial of Chapter 2, so that’s pretty cute.

On top of this, there’s a collab between FE Heroes and FE Engage. Details here.

In FE Heroes, you get a handful of Orbs.

Meanwhile, in FE Engage, you get the Order of Heroes’ legendary weapons, plus S Bond Rings of Anna, Alfonse and Sharena.

Huh, they appear to occupy the 14th tab, which I thought was for the 13th Emblem… Pretty confident the 13th Emblem is still in though!

Fire Emblem Engage: Merrin & Somniel Tidbits via Twitter

Today’s daily dose of Fire Emblem Engage content includes Merrin’s profile, plus yet more Somniel stuff, but stuff we haven’t seen much of.

Merrin’s profile:

Merrin (VA: Nanako Mori) is a royal knight from Solm. She’s a knight with an extravagant vibe, who tries to look cool every day.

A battle scene:

Merrin is at a Solmic palace, in the exterior part like in Timerra’s spotlight. Also like Timerra, she’s separated from the rest of the gang for some reason.

She’s a Level 2 Wolf Knight (Cavalry) with a Silver Dagger (B rank), Stiletto, Silver Sword, Killing Edge and Vulnerary. Her foe’s an Elusian with a Steel Lance.
