2. Do You Need to Reroll?

Once you get midway through the game, you might find it a bit difficult to progress if you don't have any 5 star heroes.

Because of this, we recommend that you reroll in the early stages of Fire Emblem Heroes. You can clear the early stages with any hero, but from around Chapter 6 you're more likely to lose if you don't have any 5 star heroes.

What is the Best Way to Reroll?

If You're Lucky Rerolling, You'll Have an Easier Road Ahead

We recommend that you aim for a hero with a strong magic skill. If you're able to get a lot of heroes with S or SS rankings, then you'll be able to progress through the game more smoothly.

3. Make Advance Preparations

Unlock the Training Tower

First, make your way through the early stages of the story. Once you clear Chapter 3, the Training Tower will be unlocked. Here, you will be able to level up your heroes and from there be able to unlock most of the game's contents.

Clear the Story and Get More Orbs!

When you finish one of the story chapters, you will get orbs. With these orbs, you can try the gacha and get more heroes (as you don't have many at the start)! We recommend collecting orbs so you can get used to the game and have more fun playing it!

The Best Ways to Get Orbs!

Use the Orbs to Change Your Castle's Design

Collect orbs so that you can change your castle's design!

One of the most imporant things to do in the early stages of Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) is change your castle's design. When you change your castle's design, you can eventually double the amount of experience that your heroes will receive. Use orbs to change your castle design and make the most of the early stages of the game by maximizing the amount of experience that your heroes get!

4. The Battle System

Remember the Relationship Between the Colors

In Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH), each hero has a set color. If you remember what each color is strong agains and weak against, then you are sure to be victorious in battle!

Red is strong against green and weak against blue
Blue is strong againts red and weak against green
Green is strong against blue and weak against red

Colorless - Not particularly strong or weak against any color.

If you can remember the strengths and weaknesses as listed above, you can do well in battles.

Learn How Heroes Move

Icon	Movement	Speciality
Infantry	2 Spaces	The standard way heroes move
Cavalry	3 Spaces	Can't go through forests (don't have any speciality)
Flying	2 Spaces	Can go over any object (except walls)
Armored	1 Space	Have an overall high status

Heroes have a speciality based on the way they move. If you can remember the ways that the heroes move, then you will have a deeper understanding of how they fight.

Learn About the Heroes' Stats

Stat	Explanation
HP	Hero's Health. When this stat hits zero, you will lose the battle.
Attack	How much damage a hero can do to an enemy. Both physical attacks and magic have the same strength.
Speed	The stat determines if your hero can attack multiple times in one turn or perform counter-attacks. If this stat is 5 points higher than the enemy, you will be able to attack twice in one turn. However, if it is 5 points lower than the enemy then you may be the one attacked!
Defense	Determines how much your hero can withstand physical attacks.
Resistance	Determines how much your hero can withstand magic-based attacks.

Your hero's speed is quite important. In order to inflct as much damage on the enemy as possible, focus on both speed and attack stats.

5. How to Strengthen Your Heroes

Go to the Training Tower

The Training Tower is the place to go to strengthen your character. The most effective way to level up your hero is to keep defeating enemies that are close to their level. See the link below for more detailed information about the Training Tower

In Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH), you should level up a variety of heroes so that you can handle any enemy party. If you're not sure which heroes you should start leveling up, try one that has the opposite element of the one you initially got.

Support the Hero You Use Most Often

Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) has a support system, just like the original incarnations of the game do. If the hero you want to support is within two spaces of the support hero, then you can use the support skill to give the heroes a stat boost.
