Fire Emblem series

With the release of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia the Fire Emblem series got its own amiibo line. The first two Fire Emblem characters featured were Echoes: Shadows of Valentia's protagonists, Alm and Celica. Fire Emblem line amiibo are distinguished visually from the Super Smash Bros. line of amiibo by the appearance of the base: Fire Emblem series amiibo feature a white brick pattern on a red base instead of the gold Super Smash Bros. logo on a black base.

Uses for the Fire Emblem amiibo

Super Smash Bros. series

This article or section is a short summary of Figure Player. SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U was the first set of titles to be compatible with amiibo, with the first amiibo released being themed after it, and a wide range of amiibo are compatible with it, including amiibo of all six Fire Emblem playable characters. The games use amiibo to create personalized AI characters, dubbed "Figure Players", to participate in battles in the game. When first scanned, the player can name the amiibo and assign it a specific alternate costume and a set of special moves, then they can take the Figure Player into matches with them. Unlike other AIs in the game, Figure Players are "trainable" and are assigned a level which increases as they gain experience through fighting, reaching a maximum of level 50.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate adds compatibility for the Chrom and Byleth amiibo, and amiibo that have data for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U can have some of their data carried over in a one time transfer. Afterwards, the amiibo cannot be used in the Wii U and 3DS games without deleting the data for Ultimate.

Compatible amiibo:

• Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U – Marth, Roy, Ike, Robin, Lucina, Corrin
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Marth, Roy, Ike, Robin, Lucina, Chrom, Corrin, Byleth

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is compatible with the Fire Emblem amiibo on a read-only basis. When Marth, Ike, Robin or Lucina's amiibo is scanned, the character joins the player's party and can be deployed in battles, coming with their own unique equipment and skills. Unlike an ordinary character, the Fire Emblem characters cannot be revived at checkpoints mid-battle should they be killed, and instead they must be scanned again after the battle to rejoin the party.^[1] If all four Fire Emblem amiibo characters are deployed, the usual background music will be replaced with special Fire Emblem-related tracks.

Compatible amiibo: Marth, Ike, Robin, Lucina

Fire Emblem Fates

Fire Emblem Fates is compatible with the Fire Emblem amiibo on a read-only basis. When Marth, Ike, Robin, or Lucina's amiibo is scanned, the corresponding character will appear in the player's My Castle. Each amiibo can only be scanned once between battles.

When scanned for the first time, the characters will have a brief conversation with Corrin and then offer them one of two unique accessories. Once the player has decided on one of the accessories, the amiibo character will leave their castle.

Upon scanning an amiibo for the second time, the corresponding character will reappear at the player's castle and have another conversation with Corrin. At the end of this conversation, they will ask Corrin a question. If the player chooses the correct answer, they will be given the other accessory. The answer needed to obtain an accessory depends on which accessory was chosen for the first scan.

The following accessories are available by scanning amiibo:

Type	Name	amiibo	Description	Obtainment method (first scan)	Obtainment method (second scan)
	Marth's Tiara	Marth	A tiara worn by a legendary prince. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Marth for "A Valuable Gift".	Answer "yes" when asked if you are skilled at swordplay.
	Dragon Hairpin	Marth	A hairpin worn by a divine dragon. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Marth for "A Sacred Gift".	Answer "no" when asked if you are skilled at swordplay.
	Ike's Pauldron	Ike	Armour belonging to a powerful hero. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Ike for "Sturdy Armour".	Answer "yes" when asked if you seek the thrill of battle.
	Yune Pauldron	Ike	Armour that resembles a famous artifact. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Ike for "Flashy Armour".	Answer "no" when asked if you seek the thrill of battle.
	Bear Hat	Lucina	A hat secretly favored by a heroic princess. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Lucina for the "Cute Accessory".	Answe "yes" when asked if friendship can overcome fate.
	Butterfly Mask	Lucina	A butterfly mask with quite a history. +2 damage dealt while in other castles.	Ask Lucina for the "Other Accessory".	Answer "no" when asked if friendship can overcome fate.
	Robin's Books	Robin	A collection amassed by a famous tactician. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Robin for the "Well-used Gift".	Answer "yes" when asked if you would sacrifice yourself for others.
	Dragon Feather	Robin	Strange, giant feather from a fell dragon. -2 damage taken while in other castles.	Ask Robin for the "Mysterious Gift".	Answer "no" when asked if you would sacrifice yourself for others.

Upon scanning the same amiibo for the third time, the player will be challenged to face the amiibo character in battle. If the player wins, the amiibo character will join their army as a bonus unit.^[2][3] Each of them also posesses a personal weapon that cannot be removed from their inventories.

After recruitment

Upon scanning an amiibo after completing their corresponding recruitment chapter, the character will offer the player to work at their castle. They will then appear at the next faciliy the player will visit, unless they have already visited that same facility after their last completed battle.

If they appear at the accessory shop, they will sell additional copies of the same accessories they gave the player upon scanning their amiibo for the first two times.

If they appear at either version of the armory, they will sell unique items that act as non-character-locked duplicates of their personal weapons:

Weapons and items available through downloadable content

While the Roy and Corrin amiibo are compatible with both versions of the game, they only give a special costume for Yoshi in the 3DS port, and will give out a generic costume in the Wii U version (which is what the other Fire Emblem character amiibo will give in both versions).

• Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World – Marth, Roy, Ike, Robin, Lucina, Corrin

Super Mario Maker

The amiibo of Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina are compatible. In keeping with the 8-bit theme, all four of these costumes use sound effects from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light.

Compatible amiibo: Marth, Ike, Robin, Lucina

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby can inhale amiibo which are scanned, giving him copy abilities relating to the character. The Marth, Ike, Lucina, and Roy amiibo give Kirby the Sword ability, while Robin gives him the Spark ability. Other Fire Emblem character amiibo give him a random ability.

If the player successfully designs an outfit to this character's liking, they will be rewarded with a copy of the Warrior Skirt to use in their own outfits.
