Personal Skills Have Been Revealed for Fire Emblem Engage

[@tommynguyen5450]

Kagetsu, Zelkov, Rosemary, and Rosado do not inflict any debuffs on the foe after combat, it’s using terminology as if it’s in Fe Heroes. For ex, If Kagetsu initates combat, the enemy will suffer Avo-10 in the combat itself, there is no debuff afterwards. So they’re probably more on the better end of personal skills as they offer easy bonuses

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

I don't even play heroes and I thought that was pretty unambiguous

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

@kentknightofcaelin4537 The ambiguous part is "inflict". That seems like something that lasts for some time, like inflicting damage, that would mean a person is damage for a while, until they have healed.

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

Yunaka's personal combos with her class, the covert type. If I remember well, they get a bonus when on a tile with an effect

[@timself9092]

yes, the Covert type doubles terrain avoid bonuses. In addition, Corrin Emblem can create Mist which acts as an Avo terrain so can even use in maps with less terrain around

[@antoinedenis3081]

Yeah that's right, they double terrain bonuses which mean yunaka will be pretty dodgy in a forest

[@barcster2003]

Yes it does. I think because of the corrin emblem yukakas skill will be good.

[@antoinedenis3081]

@@TARDISES I agree tho I don't know exactly how weapon ranks will work. I like the fact that ground units have their little quirks too plus the dual guard and dual attack mechanic is back in a way but limited which is interesting. They really brought back a lot of mechanics from all the fe games which is amazing

[@smward87]

Correct. Just like Dimitri was the Bush Master in Three Houses, Yunaka is the Bush Queen of Engage. Still situational, but if you can set it up it's pretty damn potent.

[@crocobae]

the skills that "inflict x during combat" I believe are during the same combat and do not persist beyond that one combat, it's the same terminology from heroes.

[@timself9092]

You have Chain Attacks completely misunderstood. It's actually very simple: If a Backup-type unit (think infantry) is in attack range of an enemy(usually adjacent, but 1-2 range handaxe exists) when any other unit attacks that enemy, the Backup unit will Chain Attack in that combat (dealing a fixed small amount of defense independent damage). Boucheron's personal skill basically just says if you are attacking an enemy next to one of your other Backup units you deal +2 damage.

[@gonnadestroymattsass1015]

@@eviekai It's 10% of the enemy's max HP

[@TagRoss]

That sounds very powerful then.

[@SH1NK1R01]

@@TagRoss it depends. 10% per hit on normal enemies is often far less than a normal attack from the same unit and it ignores that units own stats in the calculation. But on heavy enemies like bosses this feels like something you definitely want to set up. Lucinas ring let’s you trigger these in an aoe around the user instead of needing them all to be in range of the target. So it could be wild with the whole team wailing on someone

[@toethumbs9776]

one thing to add, about Alcryst, mini bows are 1 range, so he can use it for enemy phase while staying a lord archer

[@JlBUNROCK]

LET'S GO!

[@barcster2003]

Hmm maybe it even procs if the enemy counter attacks. Technically they attacked. I think even if it's enemy phase only its ok and if it can be activated by an enemy counter attack then it's defintely good.

[@kai_824]

Just to clear it up Mekkah, thr wording on these skills are similar to Heroes. The term, if unit initiate combat combat refers to the player phase no matter what and only on the player phase. Similar to the death blow skills. Maybe It was used in Fates I dont recall but yeah

[@Hawkeye43725]

We have seen that vulns heal 15 hp. Near Celine, they will heal ~22hp. It seems like it'll hold up a bit better late game since 22 is a good chunk even if your units have 50-60hp Other observations - Yunaka has 13str and 15spd at level 12. Str seems vaguely on par with some of the other units though she is a few levels higher than Alear/Alfred/Chloe. - Vander's stats look kinda bad. He has base 11str, 10 def, and 6spd (after being weighed down with an iron axe) - Ivy's skill also reads like it'll remember the enemy across turns. What I mean by that is you attack an enemy one turn then don't attack them the next turn (move back to get healed and/or drink a potion, etc) she will still get hit+20 against that same enemy whenever you get back to them as long as she didn't attack someone else in between. - RE: Kagetsu/Zhelkov/Goldmary/Rosado, the during combat rider means, well, during that combat. It's not a lingering debuff. - Also we've seen that those 4+Ivy/Hortensia are playable

[@unawareranger]

Why are people only counting vulns and not staffs when talking about healing items? The weapons list is called items and that's where staffs are. Wouldn't they be included as well?

[@whiteninji352]

Guess Vander is a Jagen then and not an Olfey

[@notokosylla584]

Vander doesn't seem to have gotten any levels, but those aren't all that bad of bases. 40 HP really is a big deal unless he starts getting doubled very early, and his 8 res will let him bait mages if you end up without a better option, or if you give him one of the hand axes. Hopefully Vander has real growths and can keep up with everyone.

[@PeevedLatias]

@@unawareranger Partially because that has been the case historically. Quick Salve does not apply to healing staves, for instance.

[@Ardith50]

Céline’s skill can combo with Citrinne for quite a big AoE heal if needed.

[@skynet0912]

I never noticed it before, but Celine has Infinity% chance to hit in this screenshot! It might be the Surge tome just has a 100% chance to hit, but it looks so weird to see an infinity symbol on hit chance instead of just 100%...

[@dozrFAB]

It's probably that Surge is a low might weapon that just can't miss, so it bypasses hit stat.

[@SH1NK1R01]

It’s likely for properly conveying its effect. 100% hit would mean that it could be lowered by debuffs or enemy avoidance. Infinity implies it simply can’t miss.

[@lschnitzer7770]

It think you misunderstood Boucheron and the "evil" retainer skills

[@thomasnguyen4427]

Let's give an actual explanation and not just point out things for the sake of pointing them out: "This unit's combat" So Boucheron is the primary attacker, his skill activates when Backup types or Lucina-sync'd/engaged allies are also in THEIR attack range of the target enemy. So say, Boucheron on Player Phase, attacks a unit and normally deals 15 damage, well if has an ally chain attack for 10% of the enemy target's hp, then he now deals 17 Damage (15+2) in addition to the chain attack daamge.

[@Greideren]

I feel like Generosity could be an incredibly useful skill for challenge runs like LTCs or Iron Mans, specially if the game has limited resources. Having the possibility of transforming one Elixir into up to 5 in a single turn could be quite useful. Or at least that's my opinion.

Thanks for the recap' Mekkah ! One extra thing I noticed about Diamant's personal skill is that he wants to have WTA anyway (Roy gives him the lancereaver at some point) so if he manages to break the enemy, then he'd be the only one to benefit from the +15 hit bonus which is very unfair !

[@gameboyn64]

Mekkah, inflict during combat typically means just for that one unit's interaction. Feh uses the same wording all the time and it's basically a buff that only activates when that specific unit's battle animations are going on. It's basically a a debuff that activates before combat starts but goes away immediately afterwards.

[@aviatinggamer9051]

I wonder if the talent “get behind me” will trigger off an enemy counter attack. Given the text of the skill it should trigger in that scenario and if it does that skill could be really good

[@barcster2003]

I think its a possibility.

[@Dakress23]

Just noticed Ivy's skill is very similar to Fates's Rhajat, but with +20 avoid rather than +4 damage.

[@SH1NK1R01]

I know it’s a preview but I think it would also be noted that the rings have passives that synergize with a lot of these so in a vacuum they may seem meh but in practice will be strong. Yunaka for instance has crit from terrain but covert classes in general double terrain effects and Corrins ring let’s you make terrain. Meaning that it’s far less likely to end up not being able to make use of that even indoors

[@antoinedenis3081]

I think the wording on kagetsu means that when he initiates, the enemy just get a debuff for that fight, same for Zelkov, and it's not a turn-long debuff

[@simshadows]

Vander reminds me of weapon s rank marcus criting every time I'm trying to set up a kill

[@arclight3213]

The first thing I thought when I saw Etie's personal (the one where she gets +2 str when recovering hp with an item), I though, "huh, wonder if that combos with that other personal skill where you heal adjacent allies when you use a heal item?" Really hope that interaction exists. Would make that skill a lot more viable, and has a neat opportunity for emergent storytelling

[@barcster2003]

I still don't think it's all that viable.

[@yassin9782]

@@barcster2003 same, Etie’s bulk seems too weak to ever want her to be attacked to use a vulnerary (unless you want to bait other ranged units but she could probably only bait one, MAYBE two at most without dying)

"Bows can't counter at 1 range" With Alcryst having a Mini Bow in his inventory...

[@Mekkkah]

Will just copypaste his here from another reply: Valid! I actually meant to talk about that when I was previewing this but I forgor. That said, Mini Bow generally has some kind of relevant drawback that makes you prefer using other weapons if possible.

[@skynet0912]

​@@Mekkkah No sweat man! It was a tiny mistake, and with everything else there is to keep track off, i'm not surprised a few minor things slip through once in a while... And yeah, in Fates, they gave you -10 avoid, and in Three Houses, they had pretty low might, on top of not being able to double at 1 range, so you were better off trying to avoid having it equipped during enemy phase, and take advantage of the slight crit bonus the Mini Bow get in Three Houses instead

[@digifreak90]

Louis's skill is slightly similar to Nina's personal skill in Fates Daydream - When Nina is adjacent two male allies in Guard Stance, +2 damage given and -2 damage taken.

[@hylianfelldragon1308]

Citrinne's personal skill sounds more like Live to Serve but with healing items than it does a mini fortify TBH.

[@RandomGhostDragon]

Citrine and celines’s skills can combo if you think about it! You can heal 15 hp for adjecent allies when using a vulnerary so good aoe healing may be possible without fortify

[@barcster2003]

Yes they do and I think both are good skills.

[@myrrical2203]

The skills seem pretty neat, I wonder how they’ll all play on-top of each other. It seems like one could come up with some pretty nice strategies by making use of a few in combination

[@barcster2003]

I'm guessing there will be quite a few strategy options with some of them. An easy one is to have corrin create terrain for yunaka.

[@CosmicToad5000]

kinda funny Diamant comes with Roy when he's gonna be really good with Ike who already has a skill that drops your avoid to zero in exchange for taking less damage so with Ike Diamant basically gets 15 hit with no downside.

[@sergiogodinez3770]

Other people are saying this too but it's worth clarifying, especially for new players. "During combat" means during that turn. These skills are NOT a debuff for the next turn. (Wording is similar to that used in Fire Emblem Heroes, so that's where we get this interpretation from)

[@LoudWaffle]

Citrinne's seems pretty good compared to most other unique healing-related skills. I can see it potentially staying relevant throughout the game, too, since it's just the same amount of HP healed to all units. You can use an elixir in the late game and get a huge heal on a bunch of units. But I guess if her HP growth is low and she's mainly a backliner who doesn't want to take damage in the first place, that will reduce its usefulness.

[@fauxparadox]

Anna in the screenshot is only level 6, so I assume her growths have barely kicked in yet. Can't imagine you getting her any lower than level 5 so 3 luck might just be her base stats. I can imagine it getting hella levels especially once promoted.

[@xfrosty2319]

Generocity might be able to heal 5 units for 50 hp with a single vulnerary (Citrinne + 4 adjacent units) maybe? it says "adjacent units" specifically

[@RainM8]

I wonder if the skill that allows items to be AoE triggers the skill that increases strength when healed by an item

[@barcster2003]

Maybe I still think energized is still bad.

[@DeltaLink]

Im assumig Eite energized skill will trigger with Citrinne personal skill of make a healing item splashable. The skill doesnt necessarily said she has to use it, it says she needs to heal hp with items. Also I know you can cook and take leftovers food to the fights, which becomes stats granting vulnerary in a way, which make item based personal skills a tad lil better.

[@barcster2003]

I think the skill Eite has is just bad. You give up your player phase and have to use an item for +2 str.

[@DeltaLink]

I think single-minded was sold short here. Or likely even misunderstood. It's main application would be to finish off an enemy that attacked Ivy during the most recent enemy phase. The second most common application would be to send Ivy off to attack a sole enemy, and then have Ivy finish off that enemy during the upcoming enemy phase. This one is more limited though, since it becomes unreliable if she's in attack range of other enemies. The dancer vs. Boss application would be really limited.

Alear divinely inspiring - good because it's easy to proc. Alfred self improver - seems bad because you have to do nothing but move to get + 2 str on enemy phase. Yunaka trained to kill - crit +15 is a good bonus. Maps probably have various evade tiles and if they don't corrin can make terrain. Louis admiration - seems reasonable to set up makes him a little more tanky it seems decent. Alcryst - seems easy to proc. Only for enemy phase but I think the fact its easy to plan for makes it good. Citrinne generosity- seems pretty good but you might have to plan for it. Lapis - She gets avoid + hit and if she needs to she can go alone to get the crit back so seems good. Jean - expertise aka the villager/trainee skill. Eventually Jean will have high stats. Chloe Fairy Tale Folk - cool name but it's effect is alright. Because it's damage does allow for a magic option. Superior to Alfred's because she can attack with it and not have to be enemy phase only. Anna make a killing- does what it says. Kill enemies in the hopes of making gold. Etie energized - seems awful it's like Alfred's but worse because you have to have used a item. Celine gentle flower - Its easy to proc so its good even if it just boosts healing items. Boucheron moved to tears - +2 damag for having an ally chain attack. If he gets +2 for every ally it could be good but if he just gets +2 it's probably pretty eh. Vander alabaster duty - +5 crit doesn't seem like enough of a bonus. Framme Crimson cheer - avoid + 10 to Framme and Alear seems pretty good. Cramme verdant faith - + 10 to hit for him and Alear is alright but Frammes is probably better. Diamant fair fight - If you enemy will die before they can strike does it proc? If it does then it's great If not then you need to eat a hit for + 15 hitrate. The good news is this doesn't proc on enemy phase. Amber - good for +20 hitrate but can make you easier to hit with the -10 avoid. Overall I think it's good if you plan on using a lower hitrate weapon. Ivy single minded - it's a good boost that you can easy proc or the enemy is dead. Kagetsu binding flash - give enemies avoid - 10 when he initiates seems good. Zelkov not quite - reduces enemy hitrates on enemy phase seems great. Hortensia big personality - range + 1 on healing staves. Seems alright but if it's mostly making heal 2 range it's probably ok but not super exciting. Goldmary disarming sigh - really good Hit - 20 is great she just doesn't want to fight female units. Rosado stunning smile - -20 avoid is pretty good. Lumera Unbreakable - probably isn't a playable unit but this is a pretty good skill. Abyme veteran + - It doesn't allow you to cheese the boss can't break or get effective damage.

Oh, and War Master's Crit+20 and Axefaire. 100 Hit and Crit on enemy phase, first strikes, and infinite range counterattacks to deal with archers and mages. And of course that crit was overkill on purpose so he can still rush in and spam Smash on player phase while ensuring that only monsters could finish him off on enemy phase.

Lumera is confirmed to be a bad character. Just think about how broken some of your endgame characters can get in other FE games, yet Lumera's Personal Ability entirely prevents her from ever becoming broken. As we all know, room to grow is the most important aspect of a character. So since Lumera can't, she is the worst. Q.E.D.

Hi, spd is speed, so what is SP?

[@mythoughtsexactly2145]

Skill Points. You uses skill points to inherit skills from the emblem rings i think

[@RubyChiang]

SP = Skill Points; it will be used to get skills.

I don't think I really understand personal skill of citrinne. all adjacent allies recover the same amount of HP using a vulnerary... if using a vulnerary, the amount is 2HP, all will recover 2 HP. So for using it she has to be law HP... As fragil she is, I don't think she ll be able to use it..

[@Mekkkah]

If Citrinne is at 4 HP (with a max HP of 20) and she uses a vuln to heal 15, she will then end up at 19 HP (with a max HP of 20). Then anyone around her will heal 15 hp as well.

[@pelleas2191]

@@Mekkkah OK. I hope she will be able to survive at 4hp 😂 maybe in the late game, that could be broken. But a healer in the beginning... Usually doesn't tank any damage 😅

[@monikavalentine1181]

Every single one of these reads like a FEH skill. They're written in a very specific, flowchart-y way.

[@monikavalentine1181]

also, terms like "during combat" and "for 1 turn" (as opposed to "Until end of turn") are frequently used in FEH in those specific contexts. "If unit initiates combat" skills which describe effects "during combat," ONLY apply specifically during that round of combat. So, as soon as combat has ended, the penalty, being transient, goes away.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Yeah. I kinda hate it. Like. The skills were written to be copy pasted onto any unit which makes them very very vague, when literally just replacing "unit" with "itself" would clear that up. There's an aggressive lack of specificity that seems built to staple more conditional clauses to it. It feels like Yugioh card text, where things are written in a very very specific way, which is utterly incomprehensible unless you're years into it and know what the nonsense means. Which is hilarious if they're outsourcing the making of a proper game to the goons making the gacha in the most depressing way possible.

[@Silburific]

I haven't seen a single character in this game that looks decent. Not even good, just decent. The closest would be the red-haired king, and that's only because he looks like Gangrel got a glow up. Each and every character looks like they were pulled from some shitty, generic gacha game. The fact that they couldn't even make the one character who's supposedly older than 20 actually look old is just rubbing salt in the wound (seriously, Vander looks like a 15 year old boy wearing a fake beard to try and sneak into an R rated movie and I hate him for it...).
