Uses for theFire Emblem amiibo
Super Smash Bros. series
| This article or section is a short summary of Figure Player. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article. |
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii 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 sixFire 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 theChrom andByleth amiibo, and amiibo that have data forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii 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 forUltimate.
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
