How to Make the Best Flying Party 2021 Banner Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

This is a guide on how to make the best flying party in Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH). To know the pros and cons of making an all-flying party and which flying units are the best to use, read on!

Features of the Best Flying Party

The Strengths of a Flying Party

Can move over terrain!

An all-flying party isn't hindered by terrain like mountains and rivers and can easily fly over them.

This allows them to quickly close the distance towards the enemy team, and also retreat out of reach.

The Weaknesses of a Flying Party

Weak to bows

Flying units take 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units.

Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units, or defeat these enemy units first.

Heroes with Effective Skills

Points Regarding Forming the Best Flying Party

Have one unit of each color

When organizing a party, it's important to have units of different colors.

This ensures your party can defeat different types of enemy units of different attributes.

Give Iote's Shield for Tanky Flying Units

Giving Iote's Shield to tanky flying units like New Year Hríd or Beruka will greatly help them in surviving hits for their allies.

You can give them Iote's Shield as a Sacred Seal to free up their A Slot for something else.

Examples of the Best Flying Party

Recommended Flying Party Example

Unit Build
Lyn - Ninja-Friend Duo ImageNinja Lyn
Peony - Álfar Dream Duo ImageNew Year Peony
Byleth - Fell StarSummer Byleth (F)
Palla - Sisterly Trio ImageYoung Palla

This is an example all-flying party. These units have high firepower and can support each other through the buffs given by New Year Peony.

New Year Peony herself has a lot of mobiliy due to the the skills she has been given on her B, C, and Sacred Seal slots.

Skill Inheritance Points

Give them more mobility with Air Orders or Flier Formation

Air Orders 3, Flier Formation 3, and Flier Guidance 3 allows your units within 2 spaces of the unit with the skill to move to an adjacent space to them.

This gives them added mobility and opens your party up for surprise attacks on the enemy team.

Use dedicated flying skills

There are several skills that flying units can use to buff either themselves and their allies, or make themselves tougher to defeat.


Neutralizes "effective against fliers" bonuses.

At start of combat, if unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-7, inflicts penalty on foes Atk/Def during combat = 50% of difference between Res stats (unit’s Res minus foe’s Res) before combat. (Maximum penalty of -7).

At start of combat, if unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-10, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def during combat = 50% of difference between Def stats (unit's Def minus foe's Def) before combat. (Maximum penalty of -7.)

Grants Def/Res+4 to flying allies within 2 spaces during combat.

At start of turn, grants Atk/Spd+6 to adjacent flying allies for 1 turn.

Grants Atk/Spd+4 to flying allies within 2 spaces during combat.

At start of turn, grants Def/Res+6 to adjacent flying allies for 1 turn.
