Rerolling[ | ]

See also: How to Reroll

What is rerolling?[ | ]

Rerolling is the process of re-creating your account again to potentially obtain a rarer Hero on your first summon.

How do I reroll?[ | ]

After completing the tutorial, you will receive 15 Orb Orbs. Completing the Prologue grants three more orbs, and receiving the daily log-in will earn you another two orbs. With these twenty orbs, you can then do a Multi-Summon for Heroes. Occasionally because of events, they may receive additional event orbs to summon Heroes as well. If you are not satisfied with the Heroes you have summoned, the account can then be reset and this process repeated.

Refer to the How to Reroll page for more information.

Are my reroll heroes good enough?[ | ]

Scroll down to check out the section on Unit Progression.

Do I have to reroll?[ | ]

Although rerolling is entirely optional, rerolling for a stronger unit is considered highly beneficial for more difficult story chapters and the Arena.

I linked my Nintendo ID to my account. Can I still reroll?[ | ]

It is possible; however, there are some downsides; you will first need to unlink your Nintendo ID from the account through Misc > Account Management. Be warned that this will cost your current account! Additionally, if any My Nintendo rewards have been claimed, they cannot be re-claimed on another account. Because of this, it is advisable to wait for the final rolls before linking your Nintendo ID account.

Alternatively, if you want to keep your current account, you can also just use a dummy e-mail to create a dummy Nintendo ID to link to the other account.

Game Basics[ | ]

What are Orbs, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Orb Orbs are the main currency in the game. You need Orbs to summon, refresh stamina, refresh dueling swords, and other actions.

You can obtain more Orbs by logging in daily, the first completion of a story map (per difficulty), through events, or by buying them from the Shop with real money.

What is Stamina, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Stamina (PvE energy) is the energy used for playing battles outside of Arena. There is a max of 99 stamina and one unit is recovered every five minutes (An empty stamina bar fully recovers in eight hours and fifteen minutes). This can also be fully recovered using a Stamina Potion Stamina Potion or an Orb Orb.

There is currently no way to increase your max Stamina pool.

What are Dueling Swords, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Dueling Swords (PvP energy) is the energy used for playing battles in the Arena. There is a maximum of three Dueling Swords per day which refreshes at Daily Reset. This can be fully recovered using a Dueling Crest Dueling Crest or an Orb Orb.

What are Shards / Crystals for, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Shards and crystals are used for leveling your Heroes with shards being for Levels 1-20 and crystals being for levels 21+. Shards will be found in the Training Tower on Stratum 5 and lower while crystals will be found by chance in Stratum 6 and higher. These can be earned once a day after successfully completing a Stratum in the Training Tower.

What are Badges / Great Badges for, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Badges and Great Badges are used for two purposes. The first is for promoting Heroes to higher star rarity level (i.e. 4 ★ to 5 ★). The second is for creating and upgrading Sacred Seals. Unlike shards/crystals, these can be earned an unlimited amount of times per day upon successful completion of a Stratum. Badges can be obtained at any Stratum level (including a chance to obtain them Stratum 6 and higher) while there is a chance of obtaining Great Badges on Stratum 6 and higher.

What are Hero Feathers for, and how can I get more?[ | ]

Hero Feather Hero Feathers, like badges, are used for promoting Heroes to higher star rarity level (i.e. 4 ★ to 5 ★). These can be obtained from greeting friends daily, interacting with units with hearts in your castle daily, sending units home, Arena, announced events and raising Heroes' Hero Merit in intervals of 500.

What are Light's Blessings for, and how do I get more?[ | ]

Lights Blessing Light's Blessing is a revival item that can be used on most battle maps. This will revive all fallen allies, restore their HP, remove debuffs and restore buffs, as well as make their Special available for use on their next action. This will also retain the EXP that they have earned in that battle. These are rewarded through dailies, quests and missions. Light's Blessing can't be used on certain maps like Grand Hero Battles.

What are friends for in this game?[ | ]

If you have friends to greet, they can obtain a small amount of feathers (five) daily. If you have more than five friends, they will also obtain an additional five feathers daily as well.

Friends' hero leaders are also used during the Voting Gauntlet event as one of the three heroes on a player's Voting Gauntlet battle team. Friends also increase the number of points received in the Voting Gauntlet (Up to 10 friends).

Getting Started[ | ]

What should I be doing as a complete beginner?[ | ]

You should be solidifying a team that will battle through the game's Story. Since each story battle grants one Orb Orb upon completion, you will want to continue fighting through these and either summon more heroes if you are not satisfied with the team or upgrade the castle to permanently increase EXP to train the team.

If you reach a point in the story where you cannot progress, this might mean you need to train up Heroes. This can be done in the Training Tower.

As your team levels up and gets stronger, the SP they earned is used to learn skills to make them stronger.

Additionally, there is also merging (For duplicate Heroes) and unlocking potential (For 4 ★ and below). There are more questions and answers below which answer merging and unlocking potential in more detail. Skill inheritance was also introduced to allow Heroes to learn certain skills from other Heroes.

You can also decide to participate in Arena which is the pseudo-PvP of the game. This is where you can choose to battle other players' teams controlled by the AI. You receives feathers by ranking well each week in Arena.

Also make sure to check out the Special Maps as this is where event maps will be placed. Rewards from these Special Maps include Heroes and other items such as Orbs.

What should I spend my Orbs on?[ | ]

At the start of the game, Orbs should be spent on either summoning heroes to improve your team or upgrading the castle for increase in EXP.

Should I spend my Orbs on Summoning or Castle first?[ | ]

This is entirely dependent on how you want to play. Since the current amount of orbs obtainable is finite, some people argue that summoning Heroes is better. On the other hand, others argue that upgrading the castle is more efficient in the long run since you will be spending less stamina and time leveling your Heroes.

Overall, both should be considered. Summon Heroes until the team is satisfactory for training and then look into upgrading the castle. This is because if you do not have a good team that you want to train up, then the increased EXP-upgraded castle is not worth it. On the flip side, a good team but no castle upgrade means you will spending twice the time and stamina training it compared to if you have a fully upgraded castle.

What exactly is summoning?[ | ]

Summoning is where you can obtain more Heroes to put on your teams.

What is a Focus?[ | ]

Focus are the pools of heroes that you can summon from. There are usually a couple or a few Focuses a player can pull from. These Focuses have different Focus 5 ★ heroes which have an increased summon rate in their specific Focus. Players can get to the other Focus by swiping left and right or tapping the blue left/right arrows on the banners.

How do I do a multi-summon to save my Orbs?[ | ]

The first summon costs five Orbs and will bring up a page with five stones for you to select from. You can choose to select the other stones as well at decreasing cost (Four Orbs for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stone. Three Orbs for the final 5th stone). This will save five Orbs compared to summoning each Hero individually.

Are 5★ Focus Heroes better than regular 5★ Heroes?[ | ]

No. The only difference is that Focus heroes have an increased summoning rate than regular.

Can I see a full list of Heroes from the Banner summons?[ | ]

On the Banner picture, select Details to see a full list of Heroes that can be summoned.

How does the percentage chance to summon 5★ Heroes work?[ | ]

The base rate of drawing a 5 ★ Hero is 3.0%.

For every five heroes where a 5 ★ Hero is not drawn, your chance at drawing one increases (Sometimes known as "pity percentage").

Rate-Increase examples:

  • Five times with no 5 ★: 0.5% total increase
  • Ten times with no 5 ★: 1.0% total increase
  • Fifteen times with no 5 ★: 1.5% total increase
  • 115 times with no 5 ★: 11.5% total increase

Can I see my percentage chance to summon 5-star Heroes?[ | ]

On the Banner picture, select Appearance Rates.

Can I summon the same heroes?[ | ]

Yes, it is possible to summon duplicates of Heroes you have seen before.

Is upgrading the castle worth it?[ | ]

What are My Nintendo points? How do I get them?[ | ]

My Nintendo points are received upon successful completion of My Nintendo quests and missions. This can be accessed by tapping the blue icon in Quests and Missions. These can be spent on in-game items such as Stamina potions, Universal Shards / Crystals, Light's Blessings, and Dueling Crests.

What should I spend My Nintendo points on?[ | ]

Most recommend using the My Nintendo points on either Stamina Potions, Crystals, or Dueling Crests depending on what you need. If continued grinding and training of Heroes is desired, Stamina Potions. If easily leveling any already high-leveled Heroes without the need for training is desired, Crystals might be better. If you are more Arena-oriented, Dueling Crests would be the better option.

How do I get 5★ Hero Fjorm: Princess of Ice?[ | ]

You can get 5★ Hero Fjorm: Princess of Ice as an ally by completing the first chapter of Book II!

How do I get 5★ Hero Eir: Merciful Death?[ | ]

You can get 5★ Hero Eir: Merciful Death as an ally by completing the first chapter of Book III!

Home / Castle Screen[ | ]

One of my Heroes has hearts around him/her. What does this mean?[ | ]

This is a daily activity where you can interact with your Heroes for feathers. Tap on the Hero and he/she will give you five feathers.

How do I change the Hero at the top of my Castle screen?[ | ]

The Hero who stands at the top of your screen, or your "Leader" is the one in the leftmost slot of a the leftmost (1st) team when you go to Edit Team.

When I go to my Home screen, there is always a random Hero that shows up. What about that?[ | ]

This is the leader Hero of one of your friends. Tapping on him/her will give a message telling you that a friend sent him/her to greet you.

Once a day, there will also be hearts around this Hero, similar to how one of your own Heroes might have hearts. This is a shortcut for greeting all of your friends instead of having to go to Friend List > Greet.

Battle Map[ | ]

Story[ | ]

How should I progress through the story?[ | ]

It is recommended to complete all of one difficulty level first before trying story chapters of a higher difficulty. This is because the Quests and Missions for higher difficulties do not unlock until you finish the lower difficulty, and they are not retroactive. This means you will have to replay certain chapters in order to complete the Missions and Quests, wasting stamina.

In other words, finish all of the Normal story chapters before Hard, and Hard before Lunatic.

I'm stuck on Chapter 9, help![ | ]

Chapter 9 is prevalent with Icon Move Armored Armored units. This means, if you have leveled a lot of physical damage dealers, you will struggle through Chapter 9. It is recommended to level a mage or a unit with a weapon that is effective against armored foes and bring him/her along to take on the knights.

Arena[ | ]

What is the Arena?[ | ]

The Arena is Fire Emblem Heroes's PVP system where you can battle other players' teams controlled by the AI, score points to get ranked, and receive rewards based on their rank. You are given three Dueling Swords daily which are required in order to battle others.

What are bonus heroes? How do they affect my score?[ | ]

You can also maximize the score you receive when battling others, use the "Bonus Heroes" on your team for the current season. Using at least one bonus Hero in the Arena party will increase points gained by 2x.

How does Arena offensive score work?[ | ]

Your Arena offensive score is your highest score in a seven-game win streak (or less if you lose one before completing seven matches).

What's the difference between each Arena difficulty?[ | ]

The difficulty of the opposing team your team face as well as the number of points you receive upon defeating the opposing team.

How does the game choose my opponents?[ | ]

The total stats of your Heroes, their rarity level, and if they have inherited any skills. This will also affect the possible point total you will gain from the opposing team.

How does Arena defensive score work?[ | ]

The stronger your team defended against, the higher the defense number.

How do I set my defensive team for Arena?[ | ]

When editing a team, you can set the currently shown team as the defensive team for the arena by pressing the "Set as Defensive Team" button and then playing through a map.

My Defense Results are empty! Why?[ | ]

Defense results only show up if your team successfully defended against another team. Losses are not shown.

How does Arena ranking work?[ | ]

This is a combination of your Offensive and Defensive score.

Why is my ranking not updating?[ | ]

Ranking updates hourly, but it may take some time for the change to become visible in-game.

Training Tower[ | ]

What is the Training Tower?[ | ]

The Training Tower is a set of eleven map levels called Stratum where you can train your units for EXP. Each Stratum is a randomized map with randomized level enemies, but the weapon type and color of these enemies can be figured out beforehand by the icons below the Stratum title.

How do I unlock higher levels of the Training Tower?[ | ]

By completing more of the Story.

What is the level breakdown of the Training Tower levels?[ | ]

Name Foe's LV Reward
Starting Stratum Lv 1 Badge
First Stratum Lv 1 - 5 Badge
Second Stratum Lv 5 - 10 Badge

Special Maps[ | ]

See also: Special Maps

What are Special Maps?[ | ]

Special Maps are specific event maps on rotation or from announced events which can be accessed from Battles > Special Maps. These maps may have special win conditions such as "All allies must survive.", but will include rewards on the first completion such as Heroes and Orb Orbs.

What is the current hero battle rotation?[ | ]

Are the Heroes from Special Maps any good?[ | ]

The Heroes from Special Maps are typically 1 ★ and 2 ★ making them much weaker than 4 ★ and 5 ★. Although it is possible to unlock the potential of these Heroes, it will require more time, stamina, and material cost compared to regular Heroes. On the other hand, they also have no stat variations which may be ideal if you end up drawing poor stat-variated Heroes (e.g. -ATK on a damage dealer).

What is a Grand Hero Battle?[ | ]

Grand Hero Battle maps are similar to Hero Battle maps where you must defeat all enemies without losing any allies. As a reward, the battle's featured Hero will be given. Unlike Hero Battles, these maps are more difficult with a higher recommended level along with the Hard map not allowing the use of Lights Blessing Light's Blessing to revive.

However, the Heroes from Grand Hero Battles can typically only be obtained this way.

Other[ | ]

What is the Voting Gauntlet for?[ | ]

See also: Voting Gauntlet

Voting Gauntlet is an event where you can join the teams of eight different Heroes. The Heroes are then matched tournament-style where your Heroes battle the other team's Heroes to gain points. Rewards from the Voting Gauntlet event include Hero Feathers, Orbs, Crystals, and Great Badges.

How do I unlock Paralogues?[ | ]

Paralogues is to travel to other worlds and meet Heroes you will not find anywhere else. New chapters and new Heroes will be added constantly.

Team Building[ | ]

How do I change my team?[ | ]

Go to Allies > Edit Team.

What are some tips to building a team?[ | ]

When building a team, it's important to have a core theme. If someone asks you, "What's the point of the team?", then you should be able to give a clear definitive answer as to how your team plays and how each Hero contributes to that theme.

If you play through several maps and feel like a Hero is not pulling his/her weight, then you might have to rethink the pros and cons of what that Hero brings to a the team (Or consider if that Hero is underleveled or not and needs more training).

It's not enough to know "Is this Hero good?", but also "Why is this Hero good? Why is this Hero good with the other Heroes on my team? Is this Hero good for how this team plays? How does this Hero contribute to the team to overall benefit the team?"

A Hero who is S-tier on one team might not be so on another team.

Is it important to have a color-balanced team?[ | ]

Although it is not completely necessary to build a team with all the colors, it is recommended to at least have two colors + colorless for a well-balanced team. Having a color-heavy team will make your team highly vulnerable to the color it is weak against.

Is it important to have both physical and magical damage on a team?[ | ]

Having both physical and magical damage on your team is highly recommended if not necessary for it to do well consistently. For example, if your team going against a team of armored units, and your team is mostly physical, trying to put a dent in the opposing team will be tough. Bringing along a Hero who deals magical damage becomes an immense help in this scenario.

When I sort my character list by "Rating", what do the numbers mean?[ | ]

Rating is the sum of the character's stats.

Unit Progression[ | ]

Stats[ | ]

See also: Stats and Stat Growth

What is HP? What does it do?[ | ]

HP is Hit / Health Points. This shows how much damage a unit can take before falling. He/she is defeated when this depletes.

What is ATK? What does it do?[ | ]

ATK is Attack. This is the unit's overall damage stat regardless of what type of weapon he/she uses.

Important note: The attack values shown in this wiki for Lv.1 characters are base values, meaning it is the unit's ATK without any weapons. The attack values are shown for max Lv. characters on this Wiki is also when unarmed.

What is SPD? What does it do?[ | ]

SPD is Speed. This determines how many times the unit can attack in one action. If the unit's SPD is at least five above his/her opponent, then he/she can attack the other twice. This does not affect the movement distance.

What is DEF? What does it do?[ | ]

DEF is Defense. This is the unit's physical-based damage reduction stat. This reduces how much damage a unit will take from physical damage.

What is RES? What does it do?[ | ]

RES is Resistance. This is the unit's magical-based damage reduction stat. This reduces how much damage a unit will take from magic damage.

Are Hero stats completely randomized? / What are IVs?[ | ]

A Hero's stats aren't completely randomized. They are predetermined when you summon the Hero with positive and negative in certain stats, also sometimes referred to as Individual Values (IVs). These positives and negatives will balance out, for example, a Hero might have a bonus in Attack but this will be balanced by a penalty in another stat.

Stat gains from Levels 1-40 are random; however, they will all converge to their predetermined values at Level 40. So even if it looks like your Hero is not gaining stats while leveling up, it will all balance out when he/she reaches Level 40.

What is HM?[ | ]

HM stands for Hero Merit. Allies earn Hero Merit for battles that they survive, and for every 500 Hero Merit achieved, a Hero will reward you Feathers via the Home screen. This reward can be received a maximum for eight times up to 4000 Hero Merit per unique Hero.

How can I determine the positive and negative stats of my Heroes?[ | ]

With current data, it is only possible to determine the positives and negatives of a Hero at Level 1 and 40. If a Hero is below 5 ★ and at least Level 20, it is possible to preview his/her next level rarity stats in the Unlock Potential screen.

Refer to the specific Hero's page on the Wiki or use the Stats Calculator to see the range of a Hero's stats to determine positive and negative stats.

Take note that for both Level 1 and 40 stats on the Wiki, this is without Weapon MT or other stat bonuses (e.g. stat increases from passives). Level 40 stats on Hero pages show the highest base stats they can have.

Is the nature / IVs of my character good?[ | ]

This varies Hero to Hero, but a general rule of thumb is that for offensive units, +SPD and +ATK are two good positive IVs to have. -HP is typically the most sought-after negative IV, but -DEF and -RES are not bad either.

On Heroes you find need to take a hit, consider +DEF, +RES. Whether you want a +DEF or +RES depends on the Hero, for example, a +DEF on a physical tank.

Skills[ | ]

What is SP for?[ | ]

SP is Skill Points. SP is gained by defeating enemy units and leveling and is used for learning skills.

Skills? Where can my Heroes learn them?[ | ]

Go to Allies > Ally Growth > Learn Skills.

The passive skills have an A, B, and C slot, but only can learn Passive A. How do I unlock the other passives?[ | ]

You cannot unlock other passive slots unless the Hero inherits from another one. The Hero can by default only be taught the skills available in his/her Skill List.

I don't like this skill I taught my Hero! Can I remove it?[ | ]

Yes. Go to Allies > Change Equipment > Equip Skills to equip and unequip skills from Heroes.

Leveling[ | ]

What does leveling up do?[ | ]

Leveling up will increase your Hero's stats as well as award him/her with SP for learning skills.

What level is the maximum?[ | ]

40.

What happens when one of my Heroes is defeated in battle?[ | ]

Unlike most other Fire Emblem games, you do NOT permanently lose a Hero if he/she falls in battle.

Where is the best place to train my Heroes? What about my underleveled Heroes?[ | ]

Training Tower or Special Training Maps. For lower level Heroes, bring along a stronger Hero and optionally a healer. Let the stronger Hero whittle down an enemy unit's HP and let the weaker Hero get in the last hit for more EXP.

What is the best way to level a healer?[ | ]

Healers gain EXP for healing at any level. This means you can bring a healer regardless of level onto the cheaper stamina maps to heal low-level Heroes and get the same amount of EXP as if they were healing on higher levels. You receive full EXP for to the first four heals in a battle, and reduced EXP for the next four. No more EXP is gained for healing after the eighth time (Combat EXP can still be earned). The number of heals is per Hero. For example, if Lissa has healed eight times, she will stop receiving EXP for healing whereas Wrys is unaffected if he has not healed eight times already. Healing with a special (e.g. Imbue on Lissa) grants bonus EXP.

A good way to level is to bring a bulky Level 1-5 Hero into the starting stratum (Lv.1 in Training Tower), and have him/her take damage from all the enemy units so your healer can top him/her off each turn. Depending on the healer's level, you may need to bring additional Heroes to block the healer from taking melee damage (not as much with bulky healers such as Azama Carefree Monk Face FC Azama: Carefree Monk). A dancer can help speed up the process by letting the healer heal more than once per turn. Note that you can use a lower level of heal (e.g. Skilliconassist Heal instead of Skilliconassist Rehabilitate+) to achieve more heals per turn. If you are looking to maximize EXP per map, heal eight times per map. If you are instead trying to maximize EXP per minute, heal four times. Once the desired number of heals is achieved, clear the map and then repeat.

Why are my Heroes getting so little EXP or none at all?[ | ]

If your Heroes are about one level higher than the enemy unit, the EXP gain is reduced.

Is leveling up with shards and crystals worse than training in battle?[ | ]

Using shards and crystals to level up will not negatively affect your Heroes. They might have less SP as they will be missing out on SP gained from battle participation, but there will be no effect on a Hero's stats form using shards and crystals.

Sending Home, Merging, and Unlocking Potential[ | ]

What does Send Home do?[ | ]

Sending home Heroes will give you Hero Feathers for unlocking potential.

What does merging allies do?[ | ]

This depends on the star rarity of the Hero you are merging. For reference:

Merged Characters Result
Merging a lower star rarity unit into a higher star rarity unit Additional SP
Merging two units of the same star rarity (4 ★ and Below) Decreased Unlock Potential Feather Cost (Same amount as sending home), Increased Stats (2 random points to stats), Additional SP
Merging two units of the same star rarity (5 ★) Increased Stats (2 random points to stats), Additional SP
Merging two units with inherited skills Target hero gains the subject's inherited skills

When should I merge allies?[ | ]

For 5 ★ Heroes, merging will be desirable IF:

  • You have determined and knows for sure which of the two duplicates has the better stats. Refer to here on how to determine your Hero's stats.
  • Your team does not need the duplicate in any slot. For example, if your next strongest Hero not on the team is a 3 ★, you might want to think about keeping that 5 ★ Hero on the team for the time being.


For 4 ★ and below, since unlocking potential will reset stats and your Hero will lose merge benefits, it is usually better to not merge Heroes 4 ★ and below.

It may also be costly to merge lower rarity Heroes into higher rarity Heroes because you will lose out on the benefits of increased stats. Ideally, you will want to save these lower rarity duplicates, raise them to the same rarity Level (5 ★ most recommended), and merge them so you can take advantage of the increased merge stats. However, due to the high cost of upgrading to 5 ★ (20,000 Feathers), depending on whether or not you can afford this cost of upgrading, it might be better just to send home since there might be better Heros to promote.

I have two duplicates of a Hero. Why can't I merge them?![ | ]

Check to see if one of them is favorited. This is denoted by a heart on the Hero's icon like so: Favorited Hero Icon

To fix this, press and hold the Hero's icon to open the character status page. Tap the heart and this will unfavorite the Hero. To avoid the Hero being favorited, disable the Auto-Favorite feature in the Settings menu.

The Hero has a +1 and a blue background. What does this mean?[ | ]

The +1 and blue background means that this Hero has been merged with a duplicate of the same star quality. A second merge racks it up to +2.

How many times can I merge?[ | ]

You can merge up to ten times with one Hero. Since merging gives two random points to stats, once a Hero hits +10, this will mean all his/her stats are +4.

Should I merge my duplicate Heroes, send home, or spend for skill inheritance?[ | ]

Duplicate 5 ★ Heroes should usually be kept. Refer to When should I merge allies?

For 4 ★ and below, since unlocking potential will reset stats and that Hero will lose merge benefits, it is usually better to not merge 4 ★ and below. Although merging will reduce the feather cost, the reduction is the same amount of feathers as if you had sent the Hero home.

Merging Heros who have inherited skills from other Heroes will grant the target whatever skills inherited by the subject.

What does unlocking potential do?[ | ]

Unlocking potential allows a lower star rarity Hero to be promoted to a higher star rarity (Ex. 4 ★ to 5 ★. In order to unlock potential, you will need the following:

  • Level 20 Hero (4 ★ or Below)
  • Feathers (The amount varies based on rarity)
  • Badges / Great Badges (The amount and which kind you need varies based on rarity)

When should I unlock potential? / Is there any reason to level past Level 20 or should I just do the former?[ | ]

When a Hero is Level 20, his/her potential can be unlocked. The only real merit to leveling a Hero past Level 20 is for skill points since unlocking potential will reset his/her stats anyway. Therefore, it is recommended to unlock the potential of Heroes at Level 20 as soon as possible if you do not wish to waste EXP.

Where do I get feathers and badges to unlock potential?[ | ]

Feathers are obtained from greeting friends, Hero interaction heart dailies, sending Heroes home, seasonal Arena awards, and events.

Badges are obtained from completing maps in the Training Tower. Regular badges can be found at all levels while Great Badges can only be found by chance beginning at Stratum 6+.

Weapon / Skill-specific Questions[ | ]

What is the Weapon Triangle? What does it mean?[ | ]

The Weapon Triangle shows which color weapons are more effective than other color weapons. On a color advantage, the effective Attack will be increased by 20%. On the other hand, a color disadvantage decreases Attack by 20%.

What is Mt?[ | ]

How strong a weapon is. ("Mt" stands for "Might".) This value will be added to a Hero's attack to determine damage.

What is Rng?[ | ]

The range of a weapon. Determines where a weapon can and cannot attack. (1 is close, 2 is ranged)

What does Slow/Accelerate Special Trigger (count+1/-1) mean?[ | ]

A unit's Special skill counts down every time an action is taken. A skill with either in the description means that it will passively delay or speed up the special trigger by one turn. For example, Skilliconspecial Imbue has a one-turn special trigger, which means it can be activated every other action. However, with Skilliconassist Rehabilitate equipped, Imbue's will now have a 2-turn special trigger, so it can only be used on every third action.

Is Speed useless if a unit has a Brave weapon?[ | ]

No, Speed is not useless because it is possible to attack four times in one action with a Brave weapon and enough Speed. Additionally, Speed can be considered a defensive stat as it can make the difference between being doubled or not. Brave weapons usually give a unit -5 Speed so having more speed will help offset the drawback.

Should I take Luna or Aether? Aether's charge time is really long...[ | ]

If you want more consistent damage, Skilliconspecial Luna is typically the more recommended special skill due to Skilliconspecial Aether's long charge up time.

If you think the healing is needed, consider Aether.

The Hero this is usually asked about the most though is Lucina Future Witness Face FC Lucina: Future Witness who already has a heal from Icon Class Red Sword Falchion every 3 turns. Or another consideration, if you are running a dedicated healer, the extra heal may not be necessary. Think about your team's performance and ask yourself whether or not it would be detrimental to that team if Lucina lost out on her damage or if it seems like she needs the heals from Aether or not.

Shop-related Questions[ | ]

What does upgrading castle do? Is it worth it?[ | ]

What does expanding barracks do? Is it worth it?[ | ]

Expanding barracks increases the number of Heroes you can have at once. You start the game with a size of 300. It costs one Orb to increase the Barracks by five to a maximum of 1100.

Can I transfer my orbs from iOS to Android and vice versa?[ | ]

No. Orbs stay on their respective platforms. You can play on both platforms simultaneously but the orb count is separated.

Miscellaneous[ | ]

Is there an inventory where I can see all my items?[ | ]

Yes. Go to Misc. > Inventory.
