In Fire Emblem Engage, players will be actively engaging with both the past and present as old Heroes (or iconic characters) of the long-running series makes a return as an exclusive gameplay mechanic in its latest mainline entry. Despite all of them getting actively paired up with the new characters of Engage’s world, some tweaking of said matchups make for better usages of the returning characters’ abilities, boosts and other elements.
