The most effective way to deal with enemy units is by taking full advantage of the weapon triangle. Breaking an enemy means they can't counterattack, which will save you vital health. If you fight a unit you have a weapon advantage over, it will cause a break. Meanwhile hand-to-hand arts beat bows, daggers, and tomes. Sword beats axe, axe beats lance, and lance beats sword. ![]() Prior to Three Houses, Fire Emblem's combat used to revolve around a rock-paper-scissors style triangle. The iconic Fire Emblem weapon triangle is back, and I couldn't be happier. This may not be a bad thing if the story is really engaging, but those expecting Three Houses' dynamic social progression will find this to be a little more straightforward. Everyone who plays Engage will likely recruit the same people and follow the same route through the story. In my experience so far, Engage is a lot more linear than Fire Emblem: Three Houses, in which you could choose one of three houses, recruit different students, and even make a few major decisions during the story. Like Three Houses, this is a fully 3D space that you can roam around in freely, though you can also select from a menu to travel quickly between particular rooms. Battles can be selected via the world map, and in between skirmishes you can return to your home base to purchase new equipment, chat with your units, and partake in some diversions. Instead, Fire Emblem Engage follows a more traditional structure similar to Fire Emblem Awakening. This means you won't be choosing a house or faction at the beginning of the game, you won't be teaching a class of students (or taking any out to tea), and you won't be managing your schedule week to week. While the social sim aspects are still intact, the school-based mechanics unique to Three Houses have been removed.
