These rings contain heroes that you can summon during battles to combine your powers.
You will have to cooperate with other characters in the game and strengthen both the bond with your fellow characters and with your heroes. You will also need to level up your characters.
There are many possibilities in the game, and it's about figuring out which Emblem ring/bracelet suits each character best. You can also teach your characters a different "class." For example, there is a character who starts as a dancer, but you can teach her a class that allows her to wield a sword and axe. It's really about figuring out what suits each character best, as there are many characters.
Also, through the DLC, of which all 4 waves have been released by now, more Emblems are added in the form of bracelets or as new characters.
In short: it's not a very long gameplay (without the DLC) and especially not if you choose to fight automatically, as this option is also available. For example, you can choose to strategically move your characters automatically or let them attack freely. The side events are indeed extensive and vast. You must ensure you have a good relationship with everyone, you can play online against other players. Or you can collaborate with other online players to clear an area. You need to collect materials and bond fragments to upgrade weapons, and you can even create your own farm. To put it simply... endless!
For me personally, this is by far the best Fire Emblem game released for the Switch! After completing the game, you can just keep going; new challenges will appear on the world map, allowing you to find money, XP, and weapons again.
A captivating storyline, top-notch graphics, and a vast array of possibilities that will keep you glued to your screen!
