Destructoid has put up an article with a few details about how the Marth and Ike amiibo come into play in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Find them rounded up below.

– Marth also has an area-of-effect (AOE) heal
– Ike has almost 50% more health than Marth

– “Push” can be used by Ike to move crates or enemies
– Ike’s main blade is Ragnell, which has a weak ranged ability
– Ike’s secondary weapon is Urvan
