Fire Emblem Engage Weapon Proficiency Guide

Now, let’s move on to the guide!

What is Weapon Proficiency?

In Fire Emblem Engage, weapon proficiency determines which weapon types and classes a character can use. Classes each have their own set proficiency with certain weapons available. The proficiency levels range from D to S!

You’ll notice that there are three different icons for weapon proficiencies:

• Grey Dagger
• • No proficiency
  • Can’t change into the specific class
• White Sword
  • Standard proficiency
  • Can obtain from Emblems
• Blue Axe
  • Innate proficiency
  • Bonus level for the weapon

How to Increase Fire Emblem Engage Weapon Proficiency

The entire weapon proficiency system relies heavily on bond levels with Emblem Rings. By increasing bond levels with Emblem Rings, you will also raise weapon proficiency for that character. Emblem Bond Effects work towards obtaining proficiencies depending on the weapon type and characters.

To unlock proficiencies further, you need to change classes when possible! Allowing characters to bond with an Emblem Ring allows them to use specific weapons depending on the Emblem Ring’s spirit.

You can also raise weapon proficiency by simply taking part in battles with that character/weapon. Keep in mind that starter proficiencies and growth are different for each character!
