One of the best games released in 2017 for Android and iPhone is Fire Emblem Heroes, from Nintendo, which with its experience and the great attraction of its brand, success is always guaranteed. Fire Emblem Heroes is an RPG game, with adventures, battles and hero characters to be developed.
The story revolves around two kingdoms, the empire of evil that wants to dominate all the worlds and the Askran Kingdom that wants to prevent it.
You can then play in story mode, with a main adventure that aims to save the Kingdom of Askr from the invading empire.
Alternatively, you can also play in battle mode against other online players or turn-based battles.
The game has nice graphics, Japanese manga cartoon style, quite fun and varied and it's all translated into Italian.
Fire Emblem Heroes can be downloaded free for Android smartphones and iPhones .
Fire Emblem Heroes is not a difficult game, but it can create some confusion in its interface, especially if we have never played a game in the series.
In this article, after playing around with it, I have collected some tips and tricks to get a brief guide to the game and get the most out of Fire Emblem Heroes without spending money .
1) Start again immediately if the initial assignment of heroes was not good.
When starting a new game, several random heroes are assigned, which may not be the best.
You can then try summoning two or three heroes right away to see which ones are assigned.
If it goes badly right away and you don't have at least 4-star heroes, then it may be convenient to start over, then delete and reinstall the game from your phone.
The ideal goal is to get at least one five-star hero, which are rarer, but which give a nice advantage.
2) Create and link a Nintendo Account
Even if you can play without using a Nintendo Account, it is still worthwhile to connect it to the game to get 10 free balls that can be used to summon new heroes.
3) Play every day
By opening the game at least once a day, you earn prizes, especially if you play the weekend.
4) Create teams with heroes that have more stars.
If the team is made up of heroes with many stars, of course, put only these into the field and forget about the others without too many sentimentality.
The high rank leads to higher growth chances, more chances to learn new skills and overall better battle performance.
5) Compare the statistics
If we have two heroes with the same stars or even the same type, to see who is better you can look at the statistics and use the one with higher numbers.
6) See the list and skills of all the heroes in the complete table on the Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki site that puts all the skills, characteristics and faces of the characters of this rich RPG.
7) Build a team with a good mix of strength
Being able to bring only four heroes into battle, you have to choose them wisely.
The ideal team should be: a heavy hitter, a long-range shooter, a defensive or healing unit and a handyman.
Within this team, make sure that everyone has the weapons to face any potential threat.
8) Touch and hold on enemies to see their qualities .
This is the first thing to do during a battle, to know immediately who we are facing.
9) Update the castle .
During the game you might be tempted to use all the orbs available to summon new heroes.
In reality, however, it is also very important to improve the castle by touching the castle icon in the upper right corner, because the earnings during the battles will increase and it is therefore an investment that is worth making immediately.
10) Complete the missions
In the Home menu, touch the fountain and check in the list that opens if there are missions related to the progression of the story, which it would be good to try to complete.
11) Have more skills
When you level up, you earn points for learning new skills.
Then go to the Units menu, to find the Learn Skills button and check if there are enough points for each hero used.
12) Shards and crystals increase in level
With splinters and crystals you can increase a hero's level without fighting.
This possibility of level increase is found in the Units menu.
13) Merge units
If you get two units of the same character, you can merge them into one stronger hero.
To do this, go to the Units> Advanced Growth> Allied Funds menu.
14) Leave unity
For the units that we don't need, maybe a two-star hero, level one, of the type of which we already have a sample, you can go to the Units> leave menu to remove it from the list and get some feathers in return.
15) Training tower
To make our heroes faster, you can use the Training Tower option in the Fight menu, which allows you to face simple battles to win to gain experience points, splinters and crystals.
16) Special maps
In the Fight menu you will find special Maps which are particular battles in which a new character is won.
17) Arena duels
The Arena is where you can challenge another player in an online PvP game.
There are different levels of difficulty, so you can choose the one that is most appropriate.
18) Create multiple teams
It is possible to compose different teams to be used in battle depending on the composition of the enemy.
To select the team, you can use the Teams screen under the Units menu.
The same hero can be part of multiple teams.
19) Unlock your potential
Once a hero reaches level 20, he can earn more stars.
To get this upgrade you need to have many feathers and use the potential unlock option found under the Units> Advanced Growth menu.
Unfortunately, the addition of a star brings the hero's level back to 1, but with a higher growth potential.
20) Play on higher difficulty.
With normal difficulty, Fire Emblem Heroes is quite simple.
When you enter the Story Map, you can touch the word "Normal" at the top right and play on the Hard level or even on the Insane level, to have a little more competition.
Basically, the story can be played with three levels and while the Insanity is a little too much, the difficult level is worth playing.
21) Check the energy
At the top, in the main screen, you can check the energy value with a timer.
This value indicates how much more you can play during the day before you need to wait for the energy to recharge.
22) Hear the voices of the heroes
You can "talk to the heroes in this way: go in the choice of the team, touch and hold on a character to bring up his card.
You can then touch the hero's figurine to hear what it says.
23) Don't spend money
It is not convenient to buy balls by spending real money in the game, because in any case they will not be enough to evoke one of the 5-star heroes, who instead can be fished only thanks to luck.
In addition, you can play in a balanced way for free and without problems.
24) Summoning multiple characters at once is convenient because it costs less spheres.
