Overview of characters in Project Ember.

Characters in Project Ember

Project Ember further expands upon the massive cast of FE6 and introduces 6 new playable units to the main game. This is enough to surpass the game's internal army size cap of 52, which can cause units to disappear from the prep screen (starting from lowest to highest) if over 52 units are in the player's army. This can happen after Chapter 23 is completed, so it is recommended to not reset the game or close the emulator from that chapter until the end of the game.

This page lists all playable characters along with some basic information, sorted in order of join time. Click into each character's page to see detailed game data.

Most of the following character profile summaries are written by /u/KrashBoomBang from his Bonding Blade series on Reddit.
