Even though Fire Emblem Engage doesn’t have as deep of a social system as Fire Emblem: Three Houses did, a bonding system still exists and is quite important. By getting to know, and becoming better friends, with the cast of characters, you can increase their individual Support Levels, which will eventually grant you unique scenes with those characters. This is also the only way to eventually romance a character. Gifts are a great way to farm some Support Levels, but only if you know what that character likes. Giving them something they don’t can even reverse their Support Level, so make sure to consult this handy guide on the best gifts for each character in Fire Emblem Engage.
How to get and give gifts
You will be introduced to the concept of gifts through Pretty Pebbles, Spirit Gems, and Horse Manure. These demonstrate how some gifts raise Support Levels by one, two, or negative one respectively. Unfortunately, the option to purchase more effective and appropriate gifts won’t appear until you unlock the Flea Market in the Somniel as part of the main story. Once it has opened, it will update its stock after each mission.
What gifts each character like
Here are all the characters in Fire Emblem Engage you can give gifts to in alphabetical order, along with the list of gifts they like most. You can also reference what a character likes and dislikes in the Ally Notebook, but only if you’ve already reached Support Level C or higher with them.
