We have said it once before and we will say it again, Fire Emblem Engage has a lot of options to better equip your units with outside of battle. Taking place almost exclusively in the home world location of Somniel, players can boost Alear’s own stats, support conversations, make and share a meal with other units to also use in battle to replenish health, feed Sommie for additional bond fragments and even ride a Wyvern as its own mini-game of sorts. There’s plenty to do here, but a certain service takes precedence over everything else.
The Smithy offers key services such as Refining to improve weapon stats and Engraving that further boosts both the weapon and the wielder unit’s very own stats. It is safe to say that the general rule of thumb for Engraving is to equip a Emblem Ring Character to one of the higher quality (tiered) weapons. Since these can be engraved only once, putting off using the service until late-game once the best weapons are unlocked tends to be the right approach.
Fire Emblem Engage – Best Emblem Character and Weapon Matchup: Engrave Guide
That is to say that since the base game alone contains 12 Emblem Ring Characters, there are not enough S tier weapons to go around. We are only taking into account the base game Emblem characters as of now, so here are our suggestions for what to matchup with who to make the most of the service.
| Emblem Ring Character | Weapon |
| Marth | Any “Brave” weapon / Peshkatz |
| Sigurd | Brionac / Venomous |
| Celica (Notable to mention her Engraving bonus is character stat specific unlike the rest) | Any weapon suited to the unit you want to benefit from the major stat she increases of 50+ Ddg. Ivy or Jean benefits most. |
| Micaiah | Any high enough tiered Blade (Silver works) |
| Roy | Any “Brave” weapon (alternatively, Thunder) |
| Leif | Any “Brave” weapon |
| Lucina | Carnwenhan / Cinquedea |
| Lyn | Fragarach / Ukonvasara |
| Ike | Any “Brave” weapon (alternatively, a throwable Lance or Axe) |
| Corrin | Lendabair |
| Byleth | Elsurge |
| Eirika | Liberation |
