Fire Emblem Heroes

Fire Emblem Heroes is a well-known tactical role-playing game where you summon characters from the Fire Emblem Heroes universe and set off on a brand-new adventure. Build your team by selecting the heroes you want, then take on enemy forces through story stages. Battles use turn-based strategy, letting you unleash a range of skills to secure victory and earn rewarding loot.

The game also gives you several paths to strengthen your roster. You can summon new heroes, upgrade weapons and skills, raise hero levels, and use items to boost performance. Updates are ongoing as well—new characters, fresh events, and additional gameplay modes are regularly added to keep things engaging.

Gameplay

Fire Emblem Heroes is a tactical JRPG played on an 8x6 grid map. You command a squad of up to four Heroes against enemy teams of different sizes. Each unit has its own movement rules.

Movement and terrain

• Armored units generally have more limited movement than cavalry.
• Cavalry units can’t enter forest tiles.
• Flying units can travel across most terrain, including tiles that other units can’t reach (such as water or mountains).

Turn structure

• Each turn alternates in a strict cycle: Player Phase → Enemy Phase.
• During the Player Phase, your Heroes can attack enemies within their attack range.
• If the attacker and defender share the same range and the defender is still alive, the defender will counterattack.
• After all your Heroes have moved and (optionally) attacked, the Enemy Phase begins and the game’s AI takes control of the opposing team.

Combat details

• Attacks deal either physical or magical damage.
• Units also have a color that creates a “rock-paper-scissors” style advantage system—some matchups are naturally stronger than others.

Strategy tips

Because positioning matters, your best results often come from placing units to force unfavorable matchups. Carefully route enemies and use terrain and range differences to control how fights unfold.

Deterministic battles

Unlike some other Fire Emblem entries, Fire Emblem Heroes removes battle randomness. Combat outcomes between two characters are fully predictable, and the enemy AI follows the same logic consistently—so a strategy will reliably lead to the same result each time.

Game Modes and Content

• Story Missions: Campaign-style objectives grouped into chapters.
• Rotating Challenge Missions: New tests that change over time.



• Training Tower: Helps increase character strength through random battles.
• Arena: Battles against other players’ teams, with enemies controlled by the game’s AI.
• Aether Raids: Another competitive mode with special rules and challenges.
• Brigades: Special engagements where a team of eight or more characters is used on a larger-than-usual map.
• Additional modes and activities to keep your roster progressing.
