As part of the February 2023 Nintendo Direct announcements, Nintendo announced the Fire Emblem Engage Soren DLC was immediately available for people who purchased the expansion pass. As expected, he’s a magic-focused character, with a Emblem Bracelet that focuses on tactics and tomes. However, if you haven’t gotten to his battle yet, here’s how to get him and what to expect.
How Do You Unlock the Fire Emblem Engage Soren DLC?
This one is easy. You head “To Divine Paralogues” from either The Somniel or World Map in Fire Emblem Engage to unlock the Soren DLC. His map is to the north of Tiki’s, which is Divine Paralogue: Dragon Temple. So you need to have recruited Anna and cleared the Bandit Hideout Paralogue and cleared Tiki’s Paralogue to unlock the path to Soren’s Paralogue Magma Cavern. After you defeat the map and him, he’ll agree to lend you his strength.
What Skills Can You Inherit from the Fire Emblem Engage Soren DLC?
Now, as usual, you need to have a character first hit level five bond level with Soren to begin inheriting his skills. Once you do, here are the ones you can get. If a skill’s effect isn’t obvious, I’ve copied the exact description of it from the game.
