The tactical RPG Fire Emblem Engage continues to electrify its fanbase with waves of nostalgic character additions through its Expansion Pass. As Wave 2 arrives and anticipation builds for Wave 3, Nintendo’s strategic unveiling of legacy heroes-turned-Emblem-Bracelets has sparked debates about which classic titles deserve more representation. From ruthless wyvern riders to cursed axe wielders, these crossover units bridge decades of franchise history while introducing fresh gameplay dynamics.

Wave 2: Powerhouses & Strategists Take Center Stage

Hector (Emblem of Strength) storms in from The Binding Blade, wielding the battle-axe Armads—a weapon carrying his family’s deadly legacy. This Ostian lord’s brute force contrasts sharply with Soren (Emblem of Acumen), the Branded tactician from Path of Radiance whose magical prowess and icy intellect made him Ike’s indispensable ally. Completing this trio is Camilla (Emblem of Revelation), Fates’ fan-favorite Nohrian princess who dominates skies with her wyvern mount and split magic/axe combat style.

• Will Camilla’s retainers like Beruka appear in future waves?

Wave 3’s Dynamic Duo: Chrom & Robin

The Awakening protagonists arrive as a dual Emblem of Bonds, merging Chrom’s Falchion swordplay with Robin’s tactical magic. This marks the first time the male Robin variant appears since Fire Emblem Warriors, reigniting debates about gender representation in spin-offs. Their combined bracelet reportedly enables chain attacks reminiscent of Awakening’s Pair Up system.

Veronica’s Groundbreaking Inclusion

Though part of Wave 4, Veronica (Emblem of Heroes) already makes waves as the first Fire Emblem Heroes original character to join a mainline game. Her Legendary alt design from the mobile game translates beautifully into Engage’s art style, while her Élivágar tome hints at reality-warping abilities that could reshape battlefields.

Unresolved Mysteries & Fan Theories

While Wave 2 solidifies Engage’s roster with heavy hitters, glaring absences linger. Where’s Eliwood to complete the Blazing Blade trio? Could Veronica’s inclusion open doors for OCs like Alfonse or Sharena? And how will the cursed Armads axe mechanic translate into Engage’s combat system—will Hector get permadeath-like penalties?

As dataminers scour the game’s code for clues about Wave 3’s release window, one thing’s certain: Engage’s fusion of old and new continues to redefine what a crossover SRPG can achieve. With six months since launch, the game’s evolving meta now demands players to master everything from Camilla’s aerial dominance to Soren’s terrain-altering spells—a challenge that’s equal parts nostalgia trip and strategic frontier.
