—Sombron corrupting the Ring of the Holy Knight in Chapter 10,
The Ring of the Holy Knight (聖騎士の指輪, Seikishi no Yubiwa lit. Ring of the Holy Knight) is an Emblem Ring introduced in Fire Emblem Engage. The ring houses the spirit of Emblem Sigurd.
Overview[]
The Ring of the Holy Knight enables to wearer to wield Sigurd's power in combat. When the Emblem Rings were distributed throughout Elyos, the Ring of the Holy Knight was among the six retained by Lythos. When Alear awoke 1000 years after the rings were distributed, Queen Lumera brought Alear to Lythos Castle and decided to train them in combat in hopes of reawakening their memories. Using the Ring of the Holy Knight for their sparring match, she was ultimately unsuccessful in helping them remember their lost memories.

Later that night, Elusia invaded Lythos to steal the Rings in the Ring Vault. Lumera was successful in repelling the forces but soon expired afterwards, gifting Alear the Ring of the Holy Knight while tasking them to recover all twelve Emblem Rings.
In Chapter 10, Alear, having gathered six of the rings, attempted to stop King Hyacinth from resurrecting Sombron, but was unable to stop his revival. After overpowering Alear, Sombron was able to steal the rings Alear had, including the Ring of the Holy Knight, corrupting its power. The Ring would be used against them as their forces as they escaped Destinea Cathedral. Later, the Four Hounds lead by a brainwashed Veyle would attack Florra Port using the stolen Rings. In the aftermath of the battle, Veyle is temporarily able to regain control of herself and is able to steal back the Ring of the Holy Knight and send it to Alear who was able to revert the Emblem Ring.

Overall[]
The Ring of the Holy Knight is highlighted by high mobility thanks to the natural Canto skill from the start which can apply even to non-Cavalry units. To enhance the emphasis on movement, Momentum boosts damage based on how far the user moves before attacking. For the most part, the ring works well with high mobility classes like Alfred's Noble class and series traditional Cavalier classes. This is especially due to the class's emphasis on Lance Proficiency for those seeking to empower lance units in general like Knights and Pegasus Knight units.
Once Engaged, The Ring of the Holy Knight gives the user an additional +5 to their movement range from Gallop and depending on their Battle Style, they gain more movement (Dragon Units gain +1 additional movement and Cavalry gain +2) and Covert Units remove terrain movement penalties if they can traverse it naturally. This heightened movement works with the class's Engage Attack Override which lets the user dash through a line of enemies and deal damage so long as the user is wielding a sword or lance. Because of the movement, it also syncs with the Momentum skill.
The Emblem Weapons of the Ring of the Holy Knight includes Ridersbane to deal effective damage to Cavalry units, a Brave Lance so the user can attack twice if they initiate combat, and Tyrfing which gives an innate +5 Res.
Trivia[]
