All units in Fire Emblem Engage and how they work

A big part of Fire Emblem Engage revolves around recruiting new units and forming the most balanced party to take on some of the harder challenges and encounters.

While the Permadeath feature can add a fair amount of challenge regarding some late-game grinds, you can tip-toe around the mechanic and save your unit from death after figuring out how every unit works in the game.

You can recruit several characters and unit categories in Fire Emblem Engage, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Today's guide will go over all the Unit classes you will encounter in the JRPG and the role they are most suited for.
