For the next Fire Emblem Engage character introduction, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have highlighted Leif, one of the classic heroes players can summon. The news comes from the Japanese Twitter account and translations from Serenes Forest.
Leif, who is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura in the Japanese version, is known as the Emblem of Genealogy. He’s a courageous prince who carries the blood of two Crusaders.
In Fire Emblem Engage, Leif can use many weapons and quickly adapt to the situation. The hero is an excellent all-round Emblem who can attack from anywhere, without worrying about weapon or class advantages.
Below is some information about his skills, weapon, and Engage attack:
Emblem Leif’s Sync skill “Vital Point Shift” reduces damage received when the user has a weapon triangle advantage.
Emblem Leif’s Engage weapon “Killer Axe” is an axe that makes it easier to land critical hits.
Emblem Leif’s Engage skill “Adaptability” makes the user automatically switch to an advantageous weapon when the foe attacks: eg. lance versus sword foe, sword versus axe foe. When attacked from range, priority is given to ranged weapons instead, so you can counter.
Emblem Leif’s Engage attack “Tetra Trick” triggers a series of consecutive attacks, using a sword, lance, axe and bow, which has a high chance of inflicting Break. When used by a Qi Adept class, Break is guaranteed, regardless of the foe’s weapon.
You can see some footage of Leif in Fire Emblem Engage below. Towards the end, there’s a conversation with Clanne, who is perhaps overly respectful since he’s revered as the Sage-Lord.
Fire Emblem Engage will release for Switch on January 20, 2023.
