The best way to increase Bond Levels in Fire Emblem Engage

The first thing you want to do when you’ve decided to focus on leveling up a bond level between a character and an Emblem Ring is to have that character use the ring in combat. While using an Emblem Ring, the character gains several passive stats that make them more useful in combat. You can take advantage of this when attempting to outmaneuver an enemy. This also means you want to use that character in combat. Although they can passively participate in a fight, if they don’t have them battling against enemies, they won’t gain Bond Levels or experience points.

Another way to increase a character’s Bond Level with an Emblem Ring is to visit the Ring Chamber and polish a ring. You can polish any of the Emblem Rings after you’ve finished a battle where you used those rings. You will choose what Emblem Ring you want to polish and what character you want to use to perform the polishing. The character who polishes the ring will gain an increased Bond Level with that Emblem legend. You won’t be able to do this every time you visit the Ring Chamber. This can only occur after completing a battle and using that Emblem Ring.

The same goes for the Arena, but it costs Bond Fragments. The Arena becomes available when you reach the end of Chapter 5.

An ability becomes available when a character and Emblem Ring’s bond level up. If you give the Emblem Ring to a new character, they will have to go through the same process and unlock those same levels by starting at the beginning.
