Fire Emblem Engage is a tactical turn-based RPG comprising many recruitable characters who aid players in battles. Anna is one such character who will join the players fairly early in Fire Emblem Engage, specifically during the Mysterious Merchant mission.

Anna’s base class is Axe Fighter and therefore possesses great proficiency with an Axe. Hence, players can leverage it by advancing her to Warrior class and using Killer Axe as her base weapon to deliver critical strikes. Anna can be paired with Marth, as his Avoid Inheritance Skill enables her to survive longer in a fight.

Anna, however, doesn't require switching classes as Warrior is an advanced level of the Axe Fighter class. One can promote her to the Warrior class, strengthening her Axe and Bow proficiency. The pre-requisite to acquiring it is to reach Axe Fighter Level 10, A grade Axe, and C grade Bow proficiency.

Upon meeting these criteria, players can promote Anna by returning to Somniel. One must open the inventory, select Anna, and then choose the Change Class option.

Killer Axe is the best weapon for Anna in this build, as one can inflict critical attacks on enemies during battle. Players can keep upgrading it to boost its critical attack damage up to an additional ten points (when upgraded to max).

Players can pair Emblems, characters from past Fire Emblem games, to boost their character stats. Marth is a perfect fit for Anna, and one can boost her Avoid abilities by inheriting Marth’s Avoid skill.

The skill can be upgraded to superior tiers that provide thirty points to Avoid (Avo) abilities. Avo signifies the probability of a unit avoiding incoming enemy attacks.

Another alternative is Marth’s Inheritance Skill Unyielding, which enables players to restore 20% of the unit's max HP (at the beginning of the player phase) if HP is equal to or less than the 20% mark.

Fortunately, Marth is the first Emblem players will encounter in the game, enabling them to work on Anna’s build from the get-go. Marth’s Synchro Skill Perceptive is handy as it offers fifteen Avo points in combat if a unit initiates the fight.

Besides Marth, Leif and Lyn are other good Emblems to pair with Anna. If players want to use Anna for ranged combat scenarios, they can use Killer Bow to land critical attacks on enemies from a safe distance.
