Players must head to the Amiibo Gazebo within Somniel to use Amiibos in Fire Emblem Engage

The steps to unlock these Amiibo locked items are rather straightforward:

1. Head back to the Somniel base.
2. Proceed to the Amiibo Gazebo (unlockable after completing Chapter 5).
3. The Gazebo is located in the orchard, northwest of the floating castle.
4. Interact with it to open up a menu of three options - Scan, Outfits, and Songs.
5. Pick Scan and place any Amiibo of your choice as instructed on the controller or joycons. The process may take a second or two to complete.
6. An in-game notification will pop up informing you of the items you have unlocked.
7. Keep in mind you can only scan up to five Amiibo at a given time. A cooldown of 24 hours (real time) is set between further scans.

What items does using an Amiibo unlock in Fire Emblem Engage?

Amiibos in Fire Emblem Engage primarily unlock Fashion and Music Tickets. To view items that you have unlocked, simply select the Outfits/Songs option in the Amiibo Gazebo menu in Somniel and exchange your tickets to complete the purchase.

There are, however, two basic tiers of Amiibos in Engage - the regular, non-Fire Emblem Amiibos will unlock only Music and Fashion tickets, along with additional items such as Elixirs. Meanwhile, using an Amiibo from the Fire Emblem series will unlock exclusive outfits in addition to the other prior rewards, which are listed below.

Do Amiibos offer significant pay to win rewards in Fire Emblem Engage?

Amiibos offer mostly cosmetic benefits to players in Fire Emblem Engage and can be considered to be mostly non-obtrusive in affecting the gameplay. Songs and Outifts can offer some enjoyment to fans who wish to reminisce earlier entries in the franchise, and are generally a welcome addition.

However, certain in-game items such as Elixirs are also dropped when scanning an Amiibo, and are to a certain extent, paywalled. However, the game's balance is not hugely affected as a result.

Fire Emblem Engage was released on January 20, 2023, for the Nintendo Switch.
