Celica amiibo is Nintendo’s figure of Celica, one of the two lead characters of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It belongs to the Fire Emblem series of amiibo, not the Super Smash Bros. line, and follows the character’s look from that game: white and gold armour, a long dark cape and a slim sword held low. Nintendo describes Celica as a close childhood friend of Alm whose past is shrouded in mystery, determined to find the goddess Mila and stop the war on the continent before more lives are lost. The base holds an NFC chip that compatible Nintendo games can read.

Celica and Fire Emblem Echoes
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia tells its story through two armies, one led by Alm and the other by Celica, and the player switches between them. Celica’s route is the more mysterious half of the game, which is why Nintendo’s description of her focuses on her hidden past and her search for the goddess Mila. Celica amiibo was released alongside the game in 2017; Nintendo lists 19 May 2017 in North America and 20 April 2017 in Asia. For players who finished Echoes, the figure is a reminder of a character with one of the more personal stories in the series.
A Fire Emblem series figure
Celica amiibo is part of Nintendo’s Fire Emblem series line, which uses the art style of the Fire Emblem games themselves rather than the unified Smash Bros. look. The sculpt is tall and slim, with the cape spreading behind her and the sword angled away from the body, so it has more presence on a shelf than many standard figures. Note that in North America Nintendo sold Celica only in a two-pack with Alm, while this listing is the single Celica figure.
How amiibo connect
Each amiibo has an NFC chip in its base. On a Nintendo Switch you hold the figure over the NFC touchpoint on the right Joy-Con stick or the Pro Controller when a game asks for it, and on the New Nintendo 3DS family the reader sits on the lower screen. Nintendo says amiibo compatibility and functionality vary per game, and some games need a software update. Nintendo does not list game functions on the Celica page itself, so check Nintendo’s amiibo compatibility search before buying it for a particular game.
Celica and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Celica is not a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so Celica amiibo does not create a Figure Player there. The official Smash Bros. site only says that select amiibo outside the Smash collection may give you in-game presents and suggests tapping one in to see what happens. In other words, buy this figure for Fire Emblem and for the collection, not for Smash.
Who it suits
Celica amiibo suits Fire Emblem fans, especially anyone who played Echoes on the 3DS, and collectors building the Fire Emblem amiibo set, where Celica pairs naturally with Alm. As a gift it works for a fan of the series because the figure looks good on a desk whether or not it is ever tapped on a console. Younger players who mainly want Smash figures will get more use from a Super Smash Bros. series amiibo.
Who This Is Not For
Celica amiibo is not for Smash players looking for a trainable fighter: Celica is not in the Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. Nintendo does not publish its in-game functions on the figure page, and many Switch games ignore amiibo, so do not buy it for a specific reward without checking first. It is also a delicate collectible with a thin sword and cape, not a toy for young children.
