Bond fragments are some of the most common currencies you'll find in Fire Emblem Engage, and they'll let your characters spar with each other, have your emblems gain bond rings, and change the class of your heroes.

This makes them a super powerful item to get in-game, and definitely one that you won't want to miss out on.

  • Complete achievements
  • Donate money to allied nations at the Bulletin Board
  • Working out in the Training Yard
  • Wyvern Riding
  • Increasing your difficulty
  • Fishing
  • Feeding the cat in the Grotto

There are multiple ways you can gain bond fragments throughout the town of Somniel. It's actually quite overwhelming at first.

Despite the lack of any trophy or achievement system on the Nintendo Switch, the game incentivizes you to finish challenges like forming 100 Bond Rings by giving you bond fragments as a reward.

Head over to the Bulletin Board at Cafe Terrace, you can also donate your money to ally nations. Once you've given enough, the relationship between Somniel and the nations grows. When this happens, you are given an increase of bond fragments from allies after a battle.

In Somniel's Training Yard, you can work out by doing push-ups and sit-ups, and Wyvern Riding is also unlocked in the same area later on in the story. Both will give you bond fragments.

The harder the difficulty, the more bond fragments you'll receive. Sparring with allies in the Arena can also give you Bond Fragments if the character you pick is successful in the friendly bout.

Fishing is also unlocked at the Pond. You'll meet a few characters like Alcryst and Anna around the area. Depending on the size of the fish you capture, Alear and his allies will gain bond fragments from the activity. 

Additionally, if you visit the Grotto on the south side of the main buildings you'll see a cat named Sommie (or whatever you name the animal). Once given food and stroked by Alear's hand, it will burst out bond fragments. 

Lastly, you can obtain bond fragments by simply picking them up on the ground. While at the Somniel, press ZR to open up the map. The golden circles on the map indicate where items can be picked up, including bond fragments.

After you finish an adventure in the game, you'll be transported to an explorable area based on the battlefield; once again, press ZR to see the golden spots on the map and then pick them up from the ground.

You can also talk to your allies who were successful during the last battle to gain bond fragments. The number varies, depending on how well they've done, and if you've donated enough money to foreign allies.

Finally, while you're on the battlefield, you can gain bond fragments by waiting in squares that have golden swirling lights.
