Some have wondered whether or not Fire Emblem Engage will support amiibo. In the game’s latest Japanese trailer as well as an official tweet (get a quick look here), that news was confirmed.

Other amiibo are compatible as well, and while it’s less exciting, you’ll at least receive items that can help you during your adventure.
