This is a guide on how to send an ally home on Fire Emblem Heroes. Read on to learn about this mechanic, including how and when you should send your units home.

List of Contents

When Should You Send Allies Home?

The Barracks has a limit of 300 slots. Once this limit is reached, and you still want to summon more heroes, you will have to either create Combat Manuals, send some allies home. Once you have sent an ally home, you cannot get them back, so be careful who you select! To avoid sending an ally home accidentally, add them to your Favorites list.

In general you should create combat manuals instead of sending home, but there are some heroes who lack valuable skills, and can be safely sent home for feathers. To learn which heroes you can send home, see the link below.

Which Heroes Should You Send Home?

How to Send Allies Home

At the home screen, click on Allies, then proceed to Manage Barracks.

You will receive feathers from sending an ally home. The number of feathers you obtain depends on the rating of the hero that you are sending home.
