The main focus in Fire Emblem Engage is the Engage ability, which allows your character and other party members to connect with previous Emblem legends, boosting their combat talents and giving them new attacks. It’s a critical component of the game, and knowing how to utilize this ability often is crucial to playing the game and overcoming the more complicated battles awaiting you. Here’s what you need to know about how to use Engage in Fire Emblem Engage and what it does.
How does Engage work in Fire Emblem Engage?
You will have access to the Engage ability immediately, and as you progress through the store, you’re going to find more Emblem Rings to give to your party members. At the start of a battle, everyone with an Engage ring will have a full Engage bar, allowing them to immediately use it or reserve it for a crucial moment in the upcoming battle. After using an Engage ring, this ability will only last for three turns. When that timer runs out, all benefits with that ring go away, and you need to increase a character’s Engage meter by participating in the battle and fighting enemies.
Alternatively, if a character with an Emblem ring ends their turn at a location with Emblem Power, they can fill their Emblem meter. Then, once you’ve raised your Engage meter enough again, you can freely use the power whenever you want.

While you have a unit with the Engage ability activated, that character’s appearance will look slightly different, making them stand out compared to the other characters you’re using. In addition, they will have a range of new abilities they did not have before that come from their Emblem ring, which can vary in the future should you swap out the rings for your characters.
Because the Engage ability will only last for three turns, it’s crucial you pick the perfect moment during a battle to use it. If you do it too early, you might miss taking out a key opponent, or your character might not be in range to unleash the most damage. Once the Emblem ability wears off, you will need to receive enough Engage power to do it again.
