09:15 Extra Fragments From Sommie
10:20 Outro - เกม
You get bond fragment from Sommie for the first time you feed him and pet him, you just need to initiate the pet because your character will do the first step automatically, you can just spam the back button after that and voila, you got 100 bond frags. Reapplies after every battle
Where is Viola? I may not be far enough in for this. I know you also get Bond Fragments for fishing, training, and flying. These activities just take too long for me to want to do them every trip back.
@@ericteichmiller5721 Voila. It's an expression, it means 'there you go'.
@@nawm8 haha, now I feel slow. I read it as there was a character named Viola that you could get an additional 100 bond fragments from aside from Sommie. 🤣
@@ericteichmiller5721
Lol, With names like Amber, Lapis, and Alcryst no one could blame you.
Sommie is a waste of time you can just do unlimited skirmishes by moving the switch clock a day ahead. Everything resets and you get like 500 to 600 bond per battle. Going to feed and pet sommie slows down valuable time
For roy's engraving, you can put it on a smash weapon used by an armour knight. Its likely they wont be doubling or dodging anyway.
I figured it would be good on Thunder tomes/longbows for the same reason
I agree... On Greataxes or Great Lances it does a fair bit. Give these weapons to a General or a Great Knight and the counter damage will often wipe the attack or leave them as an easy target on the next turn. Probably the only use for it.
Pretty much what I thought. If it lowers avoid, put them on weapons where you won’t be countered anyway. Otherwise give it to people who will never dodge anyway, so thats a win-neutral tradeoff.
Yeah, the smash weapon idea is a very solid one, thank you.
A little late but the game is still new so it applies still as more people make their way through. I think Roy's engraving works amazing paired with Olwen's S ring with the skill Dire Thunder since you'll have a high might Thunder tome that is always going to be doubling. Something to consider as well.
For Roy's I put it on the heavy weapons that always go last. They're going to only be swinging once anyway, and if you're going to eat damage it's important to make that one swing as big as possible. This also pairs well with Roy's "Hold Out" ability. Since they can't get killed by that first strike. You can use this to put big hurt on bosses.
Excellent suggestions, thank you!
This also works really well with Ike's sync. The user doesn't counter and it helps with the damage.
@@TitaniumLegman with hector now it also works well because if you follow up anyway and heavy weapons make your dodge so low you can ignore it anyway you can enjoy the +4 damage with little to no downsight
You just saved me MINUTES of my life with the dialogue after combat thing! ❤
I do what I can! :D
OMG i didnt know if you just left the map after the battle you would still get the fragments, THANK YOU this makes it so less daunting
All you gotta do is steal animals and pick up items and you're good! And glad I could help. 😁
@@TitaniumLegman I've gotten some items from villagers in addition to fragments. Like I think I ever got a Master Seal post-mission before. Do you know if leaving early will still net the items too? Or does this only work with fragments?
@@JigglypoofI believe there's a tutorial message that only mentions collecting Bond Fragments, so I assume you still need to talk to villagers.
But so far it seems like you only get items from them on missions where you have to keep them alive.
Best way I found to increase supports in battle is utilize canter from sigurd early on as many members as possible makes positioning for hearts super easy as well as let's you get the attack and then find a Bush to hide in
Great vid! I appreciate the mix of reminders and things that I accidentally missed, but overall I appreciated that it was all actually helpful.
That's what I like to hear! Glad that I was able to assist. :D
Something I just learned after almost 30 hours in is if you go to the bulletin board and check achievements. They give you bond fragments as a reward. Got like 17,000 from them
Yknow, I considered putting in a section about achievements. But then I figured people probably knew about it. 😬 Glad you collected your hedge fund tho!
LOL noob.
@@darklordyianni4463 don't be like this.
@@TitaniumLegman Sorry, it's just surprising how long it took him to find out something so simple & obvious.
@@darklordyianni4463 That's fine, by all means be surprised. But there's a reason I tell people "be good to each other" around here. All being rude does is add shit feelings to the world, and there's enough of that as it is. Please keep that in mind going forward.
Each save file has it own 'seed' to determine when you get S rank bond rings. Say you have 6k bond fragments, save, create until you get an S, take note of the number of pulls until you get the S (ex 2nd 10 pull you get it 3 rings in) if you like the S ring cool, if you don't reload, repeat. The next S rank will be the previous build +10 so 23 in this example
Huh, that's interesting to note, thanks Jim!
@@TitaniumLegman the seed resets every time you enter a paralouge or main mission, so you can enter a mission, save, check 10 rings and if you dont get an S go back and save again, if you do you can just reload so you can garuntee an S for under 1K
plus it will be the same postion character for each list so if you pull marth and get an S rank Linde, because thats slot 6 you can reload and pull Celica instead, which will give Mae who is 6th has the great thunder skill
Depends on no. Of enemies in paralogue or main story. Example is Corrin paralogue has 18 enemies so rings reset after 18 rings forward.
In chapter 5 or 6 you get an emblem ring with a mass healing ability. Have the character use this ability to gain a huge amount of xp and SP for each damage ally that's healed. The sp is more important because you need it to inherit better skills.
Just be careful to have this ally far away from enemies or heal them immediately after because it takes a large chunk of HP to cast
I like "large chunk of hp". It leaves you at 1 hp.
Similar to this, you get an emblem later with a big AOE damage ability that triggers at the start of your next turn. Put it on someone huge like Diamante or Jade, send them into the fray with a buff or something, and watch the AI clump them. Easily kills 3-8 units, and gives a ton of SP and XP.
@@harrisonmakris1376 there have been times I used it on some characters and it's left them around 6-10 hp
@@chriskoloski32 must have been Aleir as dragon units retain 20% of their health after using great sacrifice IIRC.
Hey Tom, just found your channel. Your production quality is awesome! Just wanted to say that from what I can tell so far, you get bond fragments after a mission from the units that you brought into battle, and they all have voicelines about how well they did during the fight. Like for example, the MVP will say something like "Wow, I got a lot of them today, huh?" And then give you 150 bond fragments, while units that went underused or took a lot of damage might say "I almost got wiped out today. Guess I have to train harder!" And give you 50 bond fragments.
I don't know if that's 100%, but it's what I've seen so far!
Great video!
I used Roy's on the Heavy Lance and gave it to my boi Louis to make him an absolute beast. One of the highest growth rates for Def and Bld in the game helps not only shed some of the extra weight but Heavy weapons also go last, and the massive defense and health pools mean unless it's magic, he laughs before crushing you under his lance.
The alternative pick would be Mauvier but you get him so late and let's be honest. Louis just got that drip like no other.
Most important little secret is that Emblem Rings/Bracelets are unequipped in the arena, but bond rings are not. So, if you want to also gain SP in the arena, unequip a character's emblem and give them a bond ring during training. You will be able to use the S-Rank bond ring skills in arena as well, so Owain + Thunder = instant win.
Dude I just found your channel and I’m loving it. Thanks for all the FE Engage coverage so far. I’m pretty confident you’ll get to 15k followers before the end of the year.
Well damn, thanks for the encouragement and support Rockfello! 😁 I'm glad my content has been useful for ya, that's the goal. :D
Enjoy your guides!
This is my first FE game, and just got passed the point of getting Yunaka. Having a good time so far!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I adore Fire Emblem and I'm always happy to see new folks playing. 😁
I haven’t started Engage yet, as I’m still playing Three Houses. I decided to give a shot a few weeks back and it’s really sparked my interest in SRPGs. I’ve always been intimidated by them. These guides will be super useful when I do get into Engage!
Oh enjoy your time with 3H! It's an absolutely wonderful game for sure.
@@TitaniumLegman it’s incredible! I’m on my last playthrough (Golden Deer) at the moment
@@Jmerithew87 did golden deer first myself, love that run!
Dogs! Who knew they were such diligent metal workers. Thanks for the video!
Also for Sommie you get 100x fragments per feeding and 100x per petting event *BUT* you can only gain this bonus once until you complete another combat encounter and the feeding pays out immediately while the petting only pays once you hit B to end the petting event
Absolutely correct, good point to make.
I wouldn't swap emblem rings around, just use the arena for +5 levels to whatever character you want for whichever ring
I think the emblem rings generate more SP. so early on swapping the rings around when they hit their first level 10 cap will help purchase abilities.
This is very true. Double the rate of SO gain from Emblem Rings.
Man, I haven't missed a single Fire Emblem since the Gameboy Advance games, and I'm already 25 hours into this game, yet I still found things in this video that I didn't know or forgot about. The UI of this game is by no means bad, but there are so many things you can do that it's very easy to lose track of them. Absolutely love the game though, easily the best combat in Fire Emblem history in my opinion. Thanks for the video, really helpful even to a veteran!
Yes, I'm right there with you, I'm loving this game so much.
Hey @TitaniumLegman, how do you know what main stat to boost for each character?
It really just dependent on what you're doing with them. Swordmasters want Str and Spd for example, whereas all axe wielders want Dex to help offset axes low accuracy.
After every battle I've found that petting sommie once will always drop fragments. Dressing him up only builds friendship until maxed. feeding always drops fragments after every battle as well.
If you pair up two characters that have support in the arena they get A LOT of support points. You can do it by going in, seeing who the opponent is, and reloading. Most pairs except those that involve Alear can get to C in a single round, and B doesn't take much more either
B is also in a single round I think
This is an excellent point, yes. Thank you!
Roy's engraving works well on a slow tank like Louis. I put that engraving on a Javelin and Louis put in the work.
Ooooh now that sounds like fun. 👀
As far as i know, petting Somnie the first time a day increases his friendship, while subsequent pettings are just for the sake of it. With food it depends what he likes and what not.
Food doesn't matter, just spam oranges. You get buckets of them for free just exploring.
@@majnuker Yeah, i just tried different things and noticed him reacting differently to different things.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 This is accurate, I he does react slightly differently but any fruity foods he reacts positively. It doesn't stop the bond fragment drops afaik though.
I either give him oranges or my nuts and I get friendship up anyway.
something to note about arena battles - when you do your first playthrough you wont know what units you need or what units you want to swap into later in the game. very often you will get to a certain point with a unit and think they'd be better going down a magic user route or making them cavalry. a big example for me was Anna, who in her starting class doesn't benefit her skills for gold (axe users have far less lck than mages) and even makes her super squishy without any attack gains.
when you reclass a unit they drop back to level 1 (including stats). for me, using Anna in the arena to gain levels was useful (for level up stat boosts) but then when I decided to respec her all that arena training was worthless.
however - she kept all the supports gained (including emblem ones).
there is a point in the later game when the supports from emblems will be important (you get proficiencies) which let you respec to advanced classes. I would suggest using your arena fights on units you know are set down a particular route (like the lords and divine dragon units)
The alternative is to second seal them after 20 which is what I did. Leveled Anna to 20 on Axe second sealed her to mage and not only kept the stats she had at level 20 but when she resealed she had more stat total at level 1 mage than level 20 axe. Now I will go to 20 on mage then switch her to Sage in the end.
Take longer but she has more survivability from the stats because of it. Alternatively, you can reverse the order and switch to mage then 20 to sage 20 then second seal her to sage 1 again but it's all the same imo.
@@Xayentist Actually, you should be master classing as early as you can. It doesn't impact level XP requirements at all or stat growth. Then you second seal at level 20 afterwards. Of course, Master Seals aren't plentiful until later in the game. I just finished a story mission in the fourth region, Chapter 15 or so, and still have 5 or 6 people left to master class.
@@Xayentist does that work at level 20? I thought it resets to 1 regardless?
You mentioned you dont kniw who drops bond fragments in the after battle maps. You may have figured this out already. Characters that leveled that battle have bond fragments.
Also, it's worth talking to the white dot people here - some of them drop stuff. You only *miss* fragments here if you dont pick up the orange stars.
I was also shocked when I found out S rank bond rings had skills. I pulled an S rank Claude ring with the Wind God skill and paired it with fogado with a +5 radiant bow. With the +3 range and a pocket seadall it carried me late game against all the reinforcements in my first playthrough.
DISGUSTING. Well done! :D
I called renamed Sommie to Lumera. Having a place called Lumera's Shrine is awesome.
Roy's engraving: dire thunder +3 from 3 range.
I think on the "maps" you get bond fragments from people who took part in the fight with you (usually 50-200). Not sure if that is 100% accurate, but I think so.
Right, that's the bond fragments you get if you leave without talking to anyone. The fame gives them all to you.
Probably a bit more of a niche use but I use Roy's engraving to patch up slow units. Right now I use it on Etie on a brave bow since she's not going to quad with it anyway.
I do like the "Roy with Brave effects" idea, that's quite solid.
I put Roy's engraving on a steel great lance for Louis
I've had success with Roy's engrave on Louis using a Greatlance. Since he has ridiculous def (at least mine does) the lower avoid doesn't matter so much. I imagine it would work well on someone with Ike since you can't dodge with his Laguz Friend anyways.
Also for Sommie, in my experience you get 100 fragments for feeding him first time and petting him first time after a map guaranteed. Literally go into the pet menu, pet him once and exit. He will poop out fragments. Don't know about dress up. That hasn't given me bond fragments before.
Yeah, Louis will probably be my choice for sure. Don't have access to Ike yet myself, but soon!
Some of the uses for those big MT engravings that tank your other stats:
Using on a Longbow or other 3+ ranged weapon where you're unlikely to be hit.
Using on smash weapons for maximum damage.
Using on a strong (preferably ranged) heavy weapon on a beefy tank to use on defense.
Using on type effectiveness weapons which gain double the mt bonus against their respective unit type.
Using on brave weapons / arts which will hit twice giving double the benefit.
There's probably some other uses but that's what I've got.
Oh man, the longbow suggestion sounds baller. These are all good ideas, thank you!
The best bond ring in the game by far is Claude from Byleth's selection. It gives your unit the Wind God skill which increases bow range by 1 whdn your health is full. The effect is so strong that in many cases it outclasses having your unit use an actual emblem in battle.
Oh my lord that's AMAZING
If you have dire thunder ring, you can put roys engraving on a thunder tome to make it do more because you're guaranteed a double hit anyways
Oooooh now that's an idea.
Im sorry i think i missed something quite important while playing.
I'm currently in chapter 8 and im sure that i got 2 master seals, but after the fight this item is not to be seen anymore. Am i missing something out here?
I'm not sure. If you go to change class in a character's inventory screen, do you have the option to promote anyone? You should be able to see what seals you have in the bottom right in the class change screen at the very least.
Based on my perception, the units that give you bond fragments after a fight are only the units that participated in said fight. The MVPs (I believe the best two performers) give you 100 bond fragments each, while the rest give you 50, although some might just not give any.
I always assumed it was based on who leveled up
If you leave the area without talking to them, the game will give you all the points instantly. So no jeee to waste time talking to them insovidually
Exactly!
@@nightcloud2014 I'm aware, but Titanium mentioned how he wasn't sure how the distribution worked, so I decided to comment with my own info. I watched video where he says just that!
Another Protip if you have the DLC is to buy with bond fragments rank 5 Edelgard on every character and inherit the skill 'Lineage'. It gives a 20% buff to experience earned.
That is absolutely one way to do it, yes.
Can you do a video on the SP points in order to inherit skills?
How so? How to get SP? How much skills cost? Something else?
@@TitaniumLegman Tips for farming SP most efficiently please!
Instead of swapping emblem rings around I like to spend Bond Fragments to skip to level 5 or 10 depending on what I want to inherit and how much SP a unit has at any given moment.
For sure, so long as you have the fragments for it that's a very viable way to go about things!
i think ike and roy engrave are only useful for a weapon like thunder+5 with olwen ring, it is the only use that i found for this.
That is absolutely a good use for them, I've also found it useful for something like a Silver Blade with Marth's Lodestar Rush to force as much damage as possible.
i love this game one thing thats enoyes me thought is the lack of money
Money is quite tight here, I completely agree.
I'm 20h in and I didn't even know about Sommie lol
She's an easy miss to be fair.
Great video!! Subbed so I can help steal them dogs 😂 I mean adopt…
Together the dogs of the land shall be ours!
My tip would be to keep an eye on your units' required proficiency to class up and try to get these early.
That's honestly a fantastic point, I keep forgetting about that myself.
Are the cooking stats permanent? I thought they were temporary Stat boosts
They are temporary, yes.
I hate that units have to be next to each other only in a plus line. Why couldn’t it also include x line and or within two spaces.
It is a very tight formation, yes.
You can literally just leave the area and you’ll get all the bond fragments you missed by not speaking to people
Roy is good on thoron
My takes on the tips. I played on hard for the whole game.
Tip 1: I found bond rings to be terrible compared to Emblem Rings. Even in the early game, its better to use fragments on engraving and bond levels.
Tip 2: I never swapped too much because I used bond fragments on leveling. When I did, I was doing it in the mid to late game, and also during a spoiler that I won't mention
Tip 3: Good tip! 2 good examples for emblem weapons key to strategy I found were Lyn and Ike. They get awesome weapons later!
Tip 4: I always did this, and going around the somniel is a blast! It really depends on how much time you have, but I would always cook, give gifts, go to the arena, go the the ring chamber, and do Alfreds training. I would also check the shops, fish, and pick up items. If you don't want to pick up items every time, pick them up until you find the spirit gem, which is there after every fight I think. Also, I kind of fell off Alfreds training since its time consuming for minimum rewards.
Tip 5: Good tip! I wish the arena was 5 after every battle, because of the smal exp it gives you, even if you win. Also, I heard this somewhere so I don't know if its true, but apparently you can take a units weapon to not match with them. If so, you won't run into a unit you one shot, thus getting more exp.
Tip 6: Good tip! I constantly forgot this, but I would recommend Sigurd, Byleth, and Marths engravings most.
Tip 7: Good Tip! I wish the game mentioned this, because I thought the pasture was bad. Now I've filled it up with dogs and I'm forging every somniel visit!
Tip 8: Good tip! I hate how the ones who give fragments say the same thing and lock you out of their unique dialogue for the map, so I just talk to the bubble ones, grab the items and animals, then leave. I do talk to a few, just to see though. Its also funny you get 10 fragments from units that want to be used lol.
Tip 9: Good tip! I love giving gifts to everyone, its really enjoyable to walk around the somniel to find them! It is quite annoying how little money you have to get the gifts though. For supports, I recommend the 4 crowned nobles with alear and eachother, hortensia with everyone, and Yunaka with everyone. Yunaka supports are amazing!
Tip 10: I just do the bare minimum. Feed him once, pet him once. That gets 200 fragments.
My personal tip: Always check your achievements, you get thousands of fragments that way!
If you want spoiler tips from me, reply to my comment. I'm just an idiot who felt like mentioning my thoughts on the tips, thanks for reading if you did though.
I don't know, +1 to four stats isn't bad. An extra point of defense and strength can really come in handy for a lot of backup characters. For everyone else it's pretty much useless, but it is good for fighters and cavaliers and it's the only way to get sp if they're not equipped with emblem rings.
I like all the entailed insight you provided here, thank you for all this! It's always nice to see people engaging, and I largely agree with what you've written. And yeah, it's funny how there's one animal type that clearly so much better than the others here haha.
@@TitaniumLegman Dog lovers are happy!
The support rate may be slower than Awakening onward, but it's drastically closer to those than the "OG" games.
In the GBA titles, unless you're intentionally grinding supports, you're not likely to see more than maybe 7 per playthrough.
you get bond fragments when you leave, you get more fragments if you talk to everyone first before leaving
Those bond fragments are not convo fragments, they are just the leave fragments, you still need to talk to everyone
What you're saying here contradicts the game, which says you'll get any bond fragments you missed if you leave early.
Bruh, charge your controller. Idk how many times I have to tell you!
Arena is by far the best way to build support
So long as you get the right characters, yes.
@@TitaniumLegman its guaranteed to get the right characters, you just see who it is then reload your save and pick whoever you want to build supports with.
Well right, I'm just saying rng could make it take a minute. It definitely works tho
@@TitaniumLegman just to be clear, whoever is the next opponent in the arena, will stay that way as you reload your save, it won't change. this is the same with gacha pulls
@@orkiso1 oooooooooooh, that part I didn't realize. Interesting ty ty.
Unfortanatly the weapon used in arena is random from the wepons the character can use
That is not correct for the player. Whatever weapon you have equipped is what is used. The enemy does have random weapons in the Arena tho.
@@TitaniumLegman yeah youre right just checked it mine bad
I called my catdog like if you know the reference
Unfortunately for Maddening, swapping Emblems to grind for each character is pain.
That I can imagine, yeah. Maddening seems like it's gonna be a hell of a time.
8:57 haha good luck for you're using every royal and other plot important characters. Please help
I wish you all the best chief. Good luck.
The best method I found to safely (and quite quickly) power level a unit is to heal repeatedly with staves (Miccaiah gives you staves up to C, so that helps everyone). then leave an enemy unit alive that can damage, but not kill one of your units, and just heal it every turn, there is no cap (well at least I haven't reached turn 99 yet with this method). My Framme already class changed, and was level 20 in the chapter you get the first master seal.
The classic fire emblem heal spam maintains its dominance it seems. 😁
Just finished Engage and man, the story was just crap, no enjoyment at all, which could be negated but it was pretty bad when it affects battles, like the amount of times you face the same enemy who just slip away after you beat them was so annoying, mostly as it was really just because they could not be bothered actually making characters that would die >>
The engage mechanic took up so much of the actual gameplay, while kind of interesting it was also super bloated, really missed out on past mechanics, like, shove or rescue etc.
Still the actual gameplay is still rather nice but erg, the story was bin worthy and had a huge lack of enemy character.
are you sure you are not a furry
Ye...yes?
Talk too slowly
the tip about s rank rings is such a bad tip
U SHOULD AVOID wasting your bond points for useless rings
That being said the other tips were great
Lol nah there's some awesome Bond rings.
This game is amazing. Rewiewers sucks.
