Link Rings in Fire Emblem Engage might seem like a tedious mechanic that will yield small stat boosts, but Rare Rings can grant you some great abilities. They can be hard to come by since you get the rings through a gacha mechanic, but spending time trying to get good rings will be extremely beneficial in helping you out on the battlefield. But what should you do before trying to get these rings?
First of all, the rings can only be obtained when you have the ring with the corresponding emblem. You can’t get Ike’s binding rings until you get to the part of the story where you get Ike’s emblem ring. Second, don’t waste your time and money spending tens of thousands of bonus points trying to get rare rings. There is a simple exploit you can use to bypass the gacha mechanic and easily get S-rank rings. These are the rings you should be aiming for (they are all S-rank rings).
Olwen: Best Bonus Rings in Fire Emblem Engage

One of Leif’s Link Rings, Owlen has one of the best abilities in the game, Dire Thunder. Allows any unit using a thunder tome to always attack twice. Thunder Tomes have three ranks, making them indispensable on the battlefield. If you increase its power and precision when forging it, you’ll be decimating enemies one after the other without having to engage them directly in battle. The icing on the cake is that Olwen’s ring gives you plus two speed, which is the most important stat in Fire Emblem.
Claude: Best Link Rings in Fire Emblem Engage

Claude’s binding ring comes from Byleth’s party, which is not available until later in the game. His Wind God ability gives you plus one arc range if your unit’s health is at 100%. Archers aren’t meant to be pushed to the front, so keeping them at full health will be easy. Upgrade your longbow and this link ring, and you’ll be shooting enemies from great distances. If you want someone who can do incredible damage, make one of your characters a Warrior, since he can equip bows. The Warrior class is a backup type, allowing them to join units in battle and do a couple of extra damage points. If backup units have a ranged weapon, they can still join from two spaces away. Claude’s ring combined with a longbow means your Warrior can join anyone’s fight from four spaces away.
Fallout: Best Bonus Rings in Fire Emblem Engage

One of the most popular characters in the Linking Rings of Marth group, Caeda will greatly aid the survivability of your units. His ability is Charming, which allows units to take five less damage if they are below half health. If your unit is in this situation and will receive a double attack, that means your enemy is doing ten less damage. If a unit like an armored knight equips this ring while standing on a fort tile and has half health, they would be unstoppable.
There are plenty of other great Link Rings in Fire Emblem Engage, but the ones listed above are so good that you may want to equip them instead of the Emblem Rings. Use them on the right characters and clean the ground with your enemies.
