Guide – Here’s how to obtain and use Corrin in Fire Emblem Engage

Feb 03, 2023 Admin

Corrin, hero of Fire Emblem Fates, returns in Fire Emblem Engage as the Emblem of the Crux of Fate, who will assist your army in its quest.

Corrin’s abilities are structured primarily around terrain manipulation and restricting enemy positioning. Synchro Skill Dragon Vein allows your paired unit to manipulate terrain in one of a variety of ways – ice pillars to block the path, heal tiles to restore HP, and many more (and also a great way to get rid of enemy miasma). Engage Skill Dreadful Aura will implement a freeze effect upon enemies in the vicinity, preventing their movement. And Engage Attack Torrential Roar assaults a line of three spaces in front of you, turning their spaces into water tiles that decrease their avoid. Corrin is one of the trickier Emblems to use effectively, relying on planning and coordination rather than raw power, but she makes a great assist for other party members, debuffing and restricting enemies and even providing a nice way to build supports (which are slow growing in this game).

Corrin’s first Engage Weapon is the Dual Katana, which is works similarly to Roy’s Lancereaver in that it reverses the weapon triangle (effective against lances but not against axes). The Wakizashi is the uber rare ranged sword option, though it lacks the ability to strike close. And her ultimate Yato is… Pretty strong. Again, Corrin isn’t built around direct offense so much as debilitation, so her weapon loadout doesn’t look quite as impressive as some other Emblems’.

How to obtain Corrin

Corrin will join a little ways into Chapter 15: Dancer in the Ruins. You have to go talk to Seadall in the room up top in order to recruit both him and her – he’s surrounded by enemies, but is generally good at holding his own for a couple turns as you make for him. Talking to him will bring both him and Corrin to your side, with Corrin equipped to him for the map. Dragon Vein is essential to help get rid of the miasma clogging the hallways here. After clearing the chapter, you can equip Corrin to whomever you’d like going forward.

Who Is Corrin?

Corrin (VA: Satomi Satou [JP] / Marcella Lentz-Pope [EN]) was a child of Queen Makoto of Hoshido, kidnapped by King Garon of Nohr in their youth. They were raised as a prince(ss) of Nohr alongside Garon’s children, regarded fondly as a sibling, unaware of their Hoshidan origins. A series of events results in them discovering the truth and reuniting with their blood Hoshido siblings as Nohr is set to invade the country. Torn between their birth family and those who raised them, Corrin must choose – fight a righteous war of self-defense? Seek to curtail the invasion from the inside? Or carve a third path apart from both forces?
