Fire Emblem Heroes Guide: 20 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

One final tip: Fire Emblem Heroes is a gacha game (short for gachapon - the Japanese name for capsule toy vending machines), which are notorious for their random 'blind boxes,' encouraging users to spend money for a chance at their favourite characters.

If you are enjoying the game, spending a little for some more characters is okay - but be careful how much you put in, and under no circumstances go in expecting to collect every character!

It’s quite possible - in fact, rather likely - to spend a literal fortune on a game such as Fire Emblem Heroes and still not collect every Hero. Thankfully, you don’t need everything out there - you can only field a team of four characters, after all, so once you have collected (or levelled up) at least four five-star Heroes you are only really going for personal preference.

It can be easy to get caught up in the collection hype, but remember that these games are designed to play on those instincts. You can absolutely get through the campaigns and enjoy your time with Fire Emblem Heroes without spending any money, and it’s likely that more characters will be added over the coming months and years anyway.
