Inherit Skill Restrictions.png

This is a page of all of the skills which cannot be transferred between certain units via Inherit Skill in the game Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH). Use this page to save time if you are curious about which skills can or cannot be inherited by your unit.

What Are Inheritance Restrictions?

Some skills cannot be learned by all units!

Inherit Skill can be used to transfer skills from one unit to another, making your heroes more equipped to deal with tougher enemies. You can fill in every slot of a unit's skills to increase their strengths and abilities. However, some skills cannot be transferred to all units, depending on factors such as weapon and movement type.

Skills with inheritance restrictions are slightly different from exclusive skills, which can only be learned by the original unit. This means that exclusive skills cannot be inherited by a different unit, regardless of their weapon or movement type. This page will cover skills with inheritance restrictions, so if you would like to know more about Exclusive Skills, see the page below!
