Unlike most characters, Yunaka in Fire Emblem Engage is not affiliated with any school of thought and is one of the two independent characters you can recruit. Here, we will introduce you to Yunaka in FE Engage, help you recruit her to your party, and provide a detailed outlook on her skills and abilities.
How to recruit Yunaka in Fire Emblem Engage
Your first encounter with Yunaka in FE Engage occurs in Chapter 6: The Stolen Ring. When you meet Yunaka, you will automatically recruit her without going out of your way to recruit her.
You meet Yunaka while playing as Alear on their journey to the Ring of the Dawn Maiden in FE Engage. On your way to the shrine, Alear meets Yunaka, who tells him that the ring spoke to her and orders her to deliver the ring to the Divine Dragon in Firene.
But on her way, bandits attacked her, and she lost the ring in the conflict. After hearing the tale, Alear and Alfred help her retrieve the ring. This leads to Yunaka joining your party.
After you retrieve the ring, return it to Yunaka, and she will reveal that she stole the ring to sell it. Still, after traveling with Alear, she felt a resonance with Micaiah, one of the Emblems, which made her want to stay. Alear agrees and recruits Yunaka to the party.
Best class
Yunaka’s starting class in Fire Emblem Engage is Thief with an S proficiency. She uses a dagger as her primary weapon.
Other than this, the best class you can opt for, Yunaka, is the Swordmaster, for which she also has S Proficiency. You can set up Yunaka as a Swordmaster by using a Master Seal.
Lastly, the Wolf Knight class is also a viable choice for Yunaka. You get A Proficiency for Wolf Knight class for Yunaka in FE Engage. Wolf Knight has the added advantage of the Hobble skill where you can inflict a movement penalty on an enemy if you start the fight with a knife attack.
Personal skill
As she is a thief, Yunaka is skilled at covert kills, as seen through her skill Trained to Kill, where she gains +15 in Crit if she is in any terrain that provides an Avo bonus. Considering Trained to Kill is a personal skill, you can use this even if you change her class from Thief to something else.

Best emblems
The best Emblem choices for Yunaka are Byleth and Leif.
Both of the emblems are support-type emblems. Byleth allows Yunaka to stay behind from direct conflict and help her allies by blessing them with different buffs throughout the fight. This also allows Yunaka to stay hidden for most of the fight, as she can strike with a critical hit when the time is right.
Leif allows Yunaka to benefit from her ability to carry and use multiple weapons simultaneously. Secondly, Leif’s Quadruple Hit skill allows Yunaka to land multiple hits at once, giving her a higher chance of landing a critical hit from an advantageous position.
