Both characters debuted inFire Emblem: Awakening, which featured the pair up mechanic that allowed two units to occupy one space and attack in tandem. WithFire Emblem Engagedoing a great job of representingmechanics from pastFire Emblemtitles, Chrom and Robin are sure to offer players a unique way to dish out both sword and magic-based attacks reminiscent of their home game.
Veronica
The final Emblem included as part of Wave 3 comes from the mobile titleFire Emblem Heroes. Veronica, aptly representing the Emblem of Heroes, originally appears as the main antagonist of the mobile title but later becoming a playable protagonist with her powerful tome Elivagar.
