Terrain Bonuses are effective ways of gaining an advantage in Fire Emblem Engage’s combat. You can make characters significantly more evasive or even find places to slowly heal units. These advantages can be helpful in initial skirmishes or drawn-out battles when enemies throw everything to bring down your units.
The bonuses take effect when any unit (allied or enemy) occupies a square with unique terrain. Each battle can have multiple terrain tiles with the same bonus, which can help protect multiple units. In the worst-case scenario, you want to make sure your enemies can’t take any beneficial terrain tiles because the bonuses will make them harder to defeat.

Not every terrain tile gives you the same bonus, and checking what tile you will use is important. This can ensure that you don’t run into surprises when an opponent gets more bonuses or that you aren’t surprised when a tile doesn’t work the way that you think.
Never be afraid to check terrain tiles and use the bonuses to your advantage. On higher difficulties, it helps you turn the tides against enemies. In close battles, a proper terrain tile can be what you need to recover and strike back against the enemies.
