Fire Emblem Engage is about taking its characters and having the players create them into the most substantial units possible on the battlefield. While the simple answer on how to do this boils down to using the characters as much as possible, the real answer is more complex. The latest entry into the Fire Emblem series focuses on a specific mechanic called growth rate, a critical component essential for leveling-up purposes. Do you need help understanding what the growth rate is in Engage? Do you want to know the growth rate of each character in the game? We got you covered on both in this article.
Growth Rates in Fire Emblem Engage Explained
Every character has a Growth Rate in Fire Emblem Engage. The growth rate is a way of showing how fast each stat of every character levels up. For example, a character with a growth rate for their HP of 30, and another character with a growth rate of 60 for their HP, the latter has a better chance of leveling up HP since their growth rate is a higher number. An excellent way to look at this is that these numbers stand for a percentage, so the character mentioned earlier has a 60 percent chance of raising HP when leveling up.
Every Character’s Growth Rate for Every Stat
So, look at all the characters and their growth rates in the table below. The higher the number, the greater the chance each stat will increase when leveling up.
