Focusing on training should be the first line of action to win any battle, whether it is mental or physical. Your home base Somniel has a dedicated section for Fire Emblem Engage strength training called the Training Yard.
Training Yard is one of the places where you can hang out after the battle. This will be the perfect to sharpen your skills before the next battle and the right buffs.
There are minigames for different exercises that have rhythm-based mechanics and require feedback in the form of buttons to complete. Completing these strength minigames in Fire Emblem Engage will improve different aspects of your character’s physical attributes.
How to unlock strength training in Fire Emblem Engage
In Fire Emblem Engage, Training Yard is the place where you can do strength training to increase the stats before the battle. The Training Yard is not available to access for the players from the start and to access it, you need to complete chapter 4 of the game.
Initially, training for small rewards like stats boosts and bond fragments will be easier. But, as you progress in the game, you will unlock different levels of training that will give you higher rewards.
Altogether there are four difficulty levels of strength training in FE Engage. Training starts with normal (unlocks in chapter 4), then hard (unlocks in chapter 12), and then expert and iron muscle (unlocks in chapter 19). Difficulties increase with each level, but it is worth it. Remember, iron muscle doesn’t reward you with any benefit. It is just for the players who need to improve their skills in the upcoming battles.
How strength training works
After unlocking strength training in Fire Emblem Engage, locate and access the Training Yard in Somniel from the map. It is right beside Smithy. After a while, you can see the strength training icon on the map and fast-travel from there. There is a total of three mini-games that the players can access for different strength training.
To complete this workout, you must do 20 reps total each and have the option to select from the four difficulty levels that are mentioned above
Obviously, the higher difficulty opted for Strength Training will have more stats boost for the battle. If you are having difficulties completing this training, use the help of Sommie the pet who will slow down the progress bar and negative misses.
Push-Ups
As soon as the Push-Ups exercise is started, the progress bar will appear with an indicator that bounces on either side.
On one side of the bar, there is a yellow section and when the indicator reaches there, press the A button until it bounces to the other side. This will complete one rep. Do this 20 times for all three difficulties.
After completing Push-Ups, your character will experience increased Strength for the next battle.
Sit-Ups
Similar to the pushups, you have the same progress bar for Sit-Ups. This time it has a Red Section on one side, and you don’t want the progress bar to drop in that section.
Press the A button until the progress bar hits the top section and repeat the process when it drops down right above the red section.
After completing Sit-Ups, you will experience increased HP for the next battle.
Squats
After starting this exercise, you will receive instructions on the screen that will tell you about the movements of both joysticks. After successfully corresponding to the instructions, one rep will be finished. Repeat the process until the exercise is complete. Finishing Squat Training will increase Dexterity.
