Here’s an overview of Roy’s Emblem abilities (official English names pending), via Perfectly Nintendo:
- Sync Skill: Endurance – if the Unit has at least 30% HP left, they will be able to withstand any attack, no matter how powerful.
- Engage Weapon: Lance Buster – reverses the weapon triangle, allowing you to deal extra damage (and even inflict the Break status) to enemy units wielding lances.
- Engage Skill: Transcendence – allows you to temporarily level up the Unit, greatly strengthening their abilities and stats.
- Engage Attack: Fiery Dance of the Crimson Lion – unleashes a powerful attack on the 3 spaces in front of the Unit, generating flames that also hinder movement. When a Dragon Unit is equipping Roy’s Ring, that attack’s range is increased by 3 spaces.
Lastly, Fire Emblem Engage launches January 20, 2023 for Nintendo Switch.
