Gameplay Fire Emblem Heroes

Battles

Take part in strategic turn-based battles streamlined for on-the-go play with maps that fit in the palm of your hand! Lead your army with easy touch and drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally over an enemy.

Types

Each Hero has a color type. This color type determines weapon advantages and disadvantages that affect your attack power. If you want battles to go in your favor, build your team with Heroes that have an advantage over the enemy!

Specials

Specials are critical moves you choose for your Heroes. They will undoubtedly prove powerful on the battlefield.

Summon Heroes

Use Orbs to summon Heroes that will fight for you. Five colored summoning stones are randomly generated, allowing you to summon a Hero based on their color type. You can obtain Orbs by clearing story maps or purchasing them through the Shop.

Allies

You can customize your allies and create teams to use in battle. From this menu, you can also learn new skills, change equipment, and take the abilities of your Heroes to new heights.

Skills

Use SP (Skill Points) gained by defeating enemies or leveling to obtain new skills. There are three types of active skills: Weapon, Assist, and Special. There are also passive skills, which give you a boost just by equipping them.

Story Maps

The story brings together new Hero characters along with familiar faces from the Fire Emblem series. Lead your army to victory to save the Kingdom of Askr.
