Fire Emblem Engage: Emblem Sigurd Analysis

Yesterday, the official Fire Emblem JP Twitter shared an overview video for Emblem Sigurd, similar to the Emblem Marth one.

Above is the video re-hosted on YouTube, as is.

I’m a bit busy to subtitle the video myself, but I’ll go over what they explained.

Emblem Sigurd specialises in boosting Movement.

Canter is a Sync skill (can be used by equipping Sigurd) that lets the user use up leftover movement after performing an attack.

Here, Chloé is using it. This appears to be the same night-time map where she was fighting in the debut trailer and also in Celine’s showcase.

Currently, she’s a Level 7 Lance Pegasus with a Javelin. The allies on the map are ones you’d expect: Vander, Céline, Louis, Framme and Clanne.

Ridersbane is an Engage weapon (usable while Engaged) that grants effective damage versus Cavalry foes. Here, Diamant is Engaging with Sigurd to use it.

Diamant is a Level 3 Lord with a Silver Sword. Oddly, his stats seem to fit a promoted unit, but we know his starting class is Lord. Here’s Diamant as a Level 12 Lord with lower stats.

Fire Emblem Engage: Sigurd Tidbits via Twitter

A few days ago, Nintendo of America tweeted about Emblem Sigurd before the official Japanese Twitter did. However, today, they’ve caught up.

Sigurd’s profile:

Emblem Sigurd (VA: Toshiyuki Morikawa), also known as the Emblem of the Holy War, is a quintessential knight who has inherited the blood of the Crusaders.

Next, a battle:

This occurs in the verdant kingdom (Firene) map that appeared in the debut trailer. On this occasion, Sigurd is paired with Cramme (tentative name), the young boy mage and Framme’s older twin brother.

At this point, Cramme is Level 3, one Level lower than Alear in the same map. Which isn’t a big surprise since Alear is the protagonist and will probably be used slightly more.

We saw it earlier with Alfred in the debut trailer, but Sigurd boosts the character’s Movement stat, by 1 point, since Cramme has 5 movement versus 4 in his own showcase. Cramme moves 3 spaces to attack his foe. In case you missed it earlier, the options are: Engage, Attack, Inventory and Wait.
