Skill Points are an important mechanic in Fire Emblem Engage, allowing your units to inherit skills from Emblems.
Because Skill Inheritance is a very useful method to improve the stats and abilities of your units, you’ll need to ensure you know how to earn the Skill Points required to inherit these Emblem Skills.

In Fire Emblem Engage, Skill Points can be obtained by defeating enemies with a unit while they have a Bond Ring or Emblem Ring equipped. If a unit is not synced with a ring, they will be ineligible to earn Skill Points through any method.
How Do Skill Points Work & Where To Get Them in Fire Emblem Engage
Skill Points are a currency in Fire Emblem Engage that allows you to let your units learn Emblem Skills through Skill Inheritance. After learning an Emblem Skill through this method, the unit will be capable of using these abilities, even without having the Emblem Ring they learned them from equipped.
Skill Points are earned using a unit with a Bond or Emblem Ring equipped to defeat enemies in battle. If a unit does not have a ring equipped, they won’t receive any Skill Points through the methods below and, therefore, won’t be able to be upgraded through Skill Inheritance.
Because of this, you’ll need to plan the units in which you want to receive inherited Emblem Skills in advance and ensure that they have a ring equipped for a few battles prior so you can start earning them some Skill Points.
Skill Points can be earned in battle by:
- Damaging an enemy
- Dealing the final blow to an enemy (grants bonus Skill Points)
- Defeating an enemy
- Defeating a named enemy (grants bonus Skill Points)
- Using staff abilities (such as heal or warp)
Skill Points Farming – Tiki’s Divine Blessing Method
A unique method can be used to farm Skill Points using one of the DLC Expansion Pass Emblems, Tiki. To make the most of this method, you’ll need to have unlocked Tiki’s as an Emblem and raise her bond with a unit.
Level 8 or higher is the recommendation for using this technique to its full potential. On top of requiring both Tiki and a high bond level, you’ll need a handful of tanky, high-defensive units to implement this plan.
This technique works by trapping enemy units in a confined space using a combination of the map layout and your units. This explains the need for bulky defensive units that can take multiple hits from the trapped enemy units, who will be forced into attack actions with nowhere to move to.
Once you’ve got some enemy units cornered, you’ll want to have the unit that has Tiki’s Emblem Ring equipped take a few hits to charge up the Engage Meter. You’ll then want to Engage and use the Divine Blessing ability on one of your ally units to heal them from damage taken, receiving very generous amounts of both Skill Points and EXP in return.
This technique is also advantageous, as Tiki’s Emblem contains the Lifesphere skill, which allows the unit equipped to gain 20 HP and heal status effects on a turn in which they choose the Wait option without attacking or using an item.
This essentially means that the unit Tiki is equipped to can remain on the frontlines with the units blocking in the enemy, simply selecting wait on each turn, which will allow them to take some hits, and restore the damage taken on the next turn, charging the Engage Meter without any significant threats or drawbacks.
