Here’s how they work.
In many ways,Fire Emblem Engageis a back-to-basics turn for the tactical RPG series.
It does have a significant new gameplay wrinkle, though, in the form of Emblem rings.

Here’s how Emblem rings and Bond rings work in Fire Emblem Engage.
Emblem rings
The headliner of the new equipment are the Emblem rings.
There are only 12 total, and you unlock them in a linear order as the story progresses.
Each of these features a glowing blue specter of another Fire Emblem Game, each with their own abilities.

These can be augmented in the Ring Chamber with the use of special crystals.
Eventually you’ll also need to engage inspecial Max Bond Level battlesto unlock their full potential.
Bond rings
The other, lesser punch in of rings are Bond Rings.
You cannot equip a Bond ring on a character who already has an Emblem ring.
Unlike Emblem rings, Bond rings do not have special attacks or unique weapons.
Instead, they provide passive stat bonuses, with larger bonuses coming for higher ring tiers.
Bond rings are essentially a gacha mechanic, letting you roll Bond fragments for randomized Bond rings.
But you don’t have to wait to unlock the best rings randomly.
Instead, you’re able to craft them using your excess lesser rings.
That said, Bond rings are not strictly necessary.
