Fire Emblem engage des personnages – Chaque héros nouveau et de retour révélé jusqu'à présent

Emblème de feu s'engager is set to come to Switch on 23er janvier, 2023, bringing the series to the new world of Elyos. As we have come to expect from the franchise, Engage will introduce us to a new team of heroes but, as confirmed by Nintendo, there are also set to be cameos from few recognisable faces of entries past.

Summoned via magical rings, these legacy heroes — ‘Emblems’ — will be able to be called upon in battle to bolster your strength or to use their abilities alongside your own.

From trailers and promotional material to character profiles published on Twitter, we have been able to see a number of these heroes in action already. Below, we have assembled a list of every confirmed character to be appearing in Fire Emblem Engage as well as all information on the benefits they can grant you in battle.

Read on to start prepping your ultimate roster!

Fire Emblem Engage New Characters

Information on many of the following characters has been shared on Twitter via the game’s official account, @FireEmblemJP. We would like to thank @SerenesForest for providing translations of each character update.

Déjà

Alear is the lead protagonist of Fire Emblem Engage. First revealed in September’s Nintendo Direct Showcase 2022, the hero has been asleep for 1,000 years since the war against the Fell Dragon, and wakes up again to prevent its resurrection.

The character will be playable in two different forms – determined by the player – each rocking the colourful VTuber-inspired hairstyle which caused quite a stir following the Direct.

Vander

The first character profile to be officially introduced was that of Vander, an axe-wielding knight who rides around the battlefield on horseback.

For an idea of what Vander looks like in battle, check out the video from @FireEmblemJP below:

Cramme

While Cramme has been confirmed as a character in the game, his name is not yet certain. This was one of the two characters that were introduced back-to-back and the oldest of the twins who are new to the series.

Cramme’s starting type is Mage, making him good for ranged attacks and striking heavily-armoured enemies.

An idea of the character’s magical attacks can be seen in the battle video below:

Framme

The twin sister of Cramme, Framme’s starting class is Monk, making her useful for healing allies during battle.

Alfred

Much like Vander, Alfred is a new character to Fire Emblem Engage who travels the battlefield on horseback.

The character’s starting class is Noble and he wields a lance in combat, as seen in the following in-game footage:

Céline

Céline is Alfred’s younger sister and possesses the same starting class of Noble.

Unlike Alfred’s character introduction, which focussed on his lance abilities and manoeuvrability in battle, Céline’s profile highlights her ability to use both magic et swords for either distanced or close-range combat.

Both of these abilities are showcased in her battle video below:

Louis

Louis’ starting class is Heavy Lance Armour, granting him high defence stats and a powerful hit in close combat.

As the following battle video demonstrates, Louis’ defences are strong against standard attacks, though the character will still take damage from magic.

Chloé

While yet to receive a full character profile, Chloé appears in the Fire Emblem Engage trailer and is even provided with a very short snippet of their battle cutscene.

It appears that Chloé is yet another mounted character, appearing in the trailer much like a Pegasus Knight. The only other detail that we can confirm about the character for the moment is that their main weapon is a Slim Lance which looks to deal out high damage.

Etie

Etie is another hero for whom we are yet to receive an official character profile. Cela étant dit, we know of their appearance in the game due to a short piece of their battle animation appearing in the trailer.

From the snippet of footage that we can see, Etie appears to be an Archer class, seen firing arrows at flying enemies.

Fire Emblem Engage Returning Characters (Emblèmes)

Marth

Having long served as the figurehead of the Fire Emblem series, Marth was the first of the returning Emblem characters to be introduced.

The hero first appeared in the franchise’s first entry and has since been a mainstay of the games, appearing in some form (be that as a playable character or through DLC/amiibo) across many titles.

In Fire Emblem Engage, Marth can be equipped via his Emblem Ring, which will grant the user some of the character’s sword-wielding abilities and make them more likely to avoid enemy attacks.

A video of Marth’s Emblem appearance can be found below:

Celica

Celica is the second returning hero to be confirmed for Fire Emblem Engage after previously appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden and its 3DS remake Échos de l'emblème du feu: Ombres de Valentia.

Using the Celica Emblem Ring will boost the magic stats of that character in the process, as seen in the following battle video:

Sigurd

Despite appearing frequently in the trailer, Sigurd is yet to receive an official character profile via the Fire Emblem Twitter.

First appearing in Emblème du feu: Geneology of the Holy War, it is currently unknown the precise benefits that Sigurd’s Emblem form will bring to the user, though from the selection screen that we saw in the trailer (screenshot above) it is clear that the returning hero uses the Ridersbane weapon and grants bonuses to the user’s horse riding abilities.

Teased Emblems

The Fire Emblem Engage trailer shows a tapestry map of Elyos, around which can be found images of a number of heroes from previous games. Given the fact that we know of the role that these prior characters will play in Engage – and that the confirmed heroes (Marth, Celica and Sigurd) appear in the circle – we imagine that this ring of 12 characters will be all of the heroes who are set to return.

Looking at the above image, une Serens Forest blog post has identified each of the characters shown in the outer circle, beginning with the three confirmed Emblems and then (moving clockwise) including Leif, Roy, Lyn, Eirika, Ike, Micaiah, Lucina, Corrin and Byleth – representing all previous eras of the franchise.

If this is the case, then we can expect further character profiles to be appearing in the next few months.

Au moment de la rédaction, these are all of the characters that we know (ou, that we confidently assume) are coming to Emblème de feu s'engager. We will continue to update this guide as more hero profiles are revealed over the coming months.
