Best Characters for Corrin in Fire Emblem Engage

Corrin’s bread and butter skill is the Dragon Vein skill. Based on the equipped unit’s type, it has the following terrain-altering effects:

  • Dragon – Choose any Vein effect.
  • Backup – Create stone pillars that buff Defense and Resistance.
  • Mystical – Create flames that deal damage.
  • Armored – Create vines that provide immunity to break.
  • Flying – Creates a glow that restores HP to nearby units.
  • Covert – Creates fog that buffs Avoidance.
  • Cavalry – Creates water that decreases avoidance.
  • Qi Adept – Creates ice pillars that slow enemies.

Based on that, it seems that the ideal choice for Corrin is a Dragon-type user such as Alear or Veyle.

However, while choosing the appropriate effect is important, it’s even more vital to have a high movement stat to quickly move around the arena to reach the terrain you want to alter.

Based on that, the best pairings for Corrin are movement-based units that will push through the sidelines to apply any terrain effects. Here are my recommendations:

  1. Yunaka (Covert)
  2. Merrin (Cavalry)
  3. Lindon (Mystical)
  4. Veyle (Dragon)
  5. Alear (Dragon)

Utilize the right terrain effects at the right time and you can easily turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Wrapping up

In conclusion, the best pairings for Corrin in Fire Emblem Engage are high-movement units that push through the sidelines and focus on utilizing the Dragon Vein skill.
