■ Extensive Story Mode Ten Books of original content set in a world inspired by Norse mythology! On top of that, stories of Heroes throughout the series unfold. You can see Heroes in different outfits than they wore in past Fire Emblem games, inspired by such things as Halloween or a tea party. New stories are added every month. Don't miss them! ■ Extensive Orb Distribution and Hero Gifts Clearing the story and completing select events will earn you Orbs, which you need to summon Heroes. Save up Orbs and welcome Heroes into your barracks. Also, you can have Heroes who were voted as some of the most popular join your barracks soon after starting the game. Plus, when you progress through the Heroes' Path quests, some of the most popular Heroes in series history can join your barracks. ■ A Simple Battle System with Depth The battle system of past Fire Emblem games has been optimized for smartphones. You can enjoy Fire Emblem with simple, satisfying controls. And, you can personalize your units by making use of a rich skill system unique to Fire Emblem Heroes. You can refine tactics that have depth to them. Even if you are not confident with taking on strategic battles, you have nothing to worry about! If you use the Auto-Battle feature, your Heroes will fight for you automatically. ■ Easy-to-Pick-Up yet Deep Growth System Rather than focus on level-grinding, the game offers a wide variety of methods to power your Heroes up, like switching skills in and out or using Engage to expand their abilities. With the right training, any Hero can make their presence known at the front lines. ■ Replayable Modes There are all sorts of modes in addition to the story mode, including many events, PvP modes, and more. ■ Original Characters Meet Legendary Heroes The game features many Hero characters from the Fire Emblem series and original characters created by artists Yusuke Kozaki, Shigeki Maeshima, and Yoshiku. Some Heroes will fight at your side as allies, while others may stand in your way as fierce enemies to be defeated and added to your army.
