Fire Emblem Heroes (ファイアーエムブレムヒーローズ Faiaa Emuburemu Hiiroozu) is a turn-based strategy mobile app based on the Fire Emblem series published by Nintendo. It is the series' first step into the mobile platform.
The story revolves around the fight between the Emblian Empire, whose desire is to take over all worlds, and the kingdom of Askr, who opposes them. To fight back, a Summoner capable of summoning heroes from different worlds was called from our world by Anna. As the Summoner, the player must call forth the various heroes of Fire Emblem and devise strategies for them as a tactician.
At the time of writing, Heroes in the game can be grouped into the following types:
Show
Regular: Refers to Heroes in their standard, default versions. Often as they'd be seen during their respective games.
Fallen: Refers to Heroes as corrupted versions of their regular selves. The game treats them as regular Heroes for many purposes.
Brave: Refers to Heroes as idealized versions of themselves manifested by the imagination of the people. Determined each year by voting, their appearance, personality and weapons vary greatly. The game treats them as regular Heroes for summoning purposes but as Special Heroes for others.
