Fire Emblem Warriors

The kingdom falls

The peaceful Kingdom of Aytolis is attacked by a swarm of twisted monsters. Yelena, the queen of Aytolis, her twin children Rowan and Lianna, and the visiting Prince Darios of the neighbouring Gristonne kingdom are quickly escorted to the castle’s emergency escape route.

As they make their way to safety, the passage suddenly collapses, leaving Queen Yelena separated from her children. Trapped behind the fallen rubble, the twins’ mother passes them an ancient shield and pleads with Prince Darios to protect Rowan and Lianna, and guide them to a nearby temple.

Strangers from another world

With no choice but to leave their mother behind, the twins and Darios set forth towards the temple, fighting countless monsters that stand in their way. As the party gets closer to the temple grounds, they encounter several strangers who appear to have come from other worlds.

Hailing from an unknown kingdom named Ylisse, warriors including Chrom, Frederick and Lissa agree to join the twins and Darios on their quest, united under the same goal.

Restore the shield

After battling their way inside, the twins present the mysterious shield to the bishop of the temple. He informs them that they have the legendary Shield of Flames in their possession, which is capable of sealing away the Chaos Dragon Velezark – the one responsible for the destruction sweeping the land.

To reawaken the shield’s power, the party are tasked with finding five Gleamstones carried by heroes from other worlds. Chrom has one of them, but the other four are missing…

Meet some of the heroes in the Characters section

Here are some of the other prestigious heroes you’ll get to fight as…

And more, including...

Get ready for battle in the Gameplay section

Warriors unite

Clash with hundreds of enemies as well-known Fire Emblem characters, each with their own combat style and unique abilities. Unleash devastating combos that can wipe out hordes of soldiers, and pair up with other heroes to perform stunning moves.

Awaken your power

Build up your special meter as you vanquish countless foes on the battlefield, and push forward to seize enemy forts and strategic outposts during battle. Activate your heroes’ Awakening Gauge to receive a temporary stat boost, or unleash a powerful special attack to overpower hundreds of enemies once you’ve filled the Warrior Gauge.

A powerful duo

Combine the forces of two heroes by pairing up as a single unit that can support each other and unleash devastating combos!

Swap between your chosen warriors at any time to adapt to the situation. A sword user can be quickly substituted out for an axe fighter if a spear wielder walks their way, or you could fly right over a ravine by swapping to a Pegasus Knight!

When the Warrior Gauge of both characters is full, you can perform an earth-shattering special technique that changes depending on the fighters selected and the strength of their relationship. Pair characters together frequently to increase their relationship level, and improve their overall strength when working as a team.

Command and conquer

Dominate the opposing army by taking control of the battlefield! Issue commands to your ally units on the map screen to advance on key positions and switch between multiple characters to deal with any immediate threats.

By defeating enemy forces at strategic locations, you’ll increase your influence, boost your troops’ morale and take the upper hand! Keep an eye on your main objectives as the fight progresses, though, as these can change quickly. You’ll also be able to tackle a variety of optional sub-objectives which can earn you tremendous rewards – if you’re feeling up to the challenge.

Weapon mastery

In typical Fire Emblem fashion, wielding the right weapon is the key to victory. With the classic weapons triangle, tactically choose and switch between Fire Emblem heroes to gain the advantage in combat against countless enemies.

There are five types of weapons in Fire Emblem Warriors – swords, axes, spears, bows and tomes. Learning which weapons are effective in battle is an important part of victory, as each has its strengths and weaknesses against others.

Forge your favourites

Use the gold and materials you’ve gathered to improve your party’s stats by creating perk-boosting crests that can increase your attack power, improve the effectiveness of healing items and much more.

If you’re looking to improve your weapons, visit the Smithy to re-forge your equipment, get them appraised and add formidable new attributes.

Shop and go

Anna, the famous shop owner from the Fire Emblem series, will occasionally appear on the battleground. Seek out the location of Anna’s shop to get puzzle pieces, which can be put together to complete hero artworks and unlock History Mode scenarios.

Battlefield blessings

Visit the Temple to receive blessings in exchange for materials and gold. Blessings will grant your characters beneficial effects, such as an increased drop rate for rewards. A blessing’s effect wears off after one battle, so use them wisely. You can also use the Temple to revive any fallen character if you’re playing in Classic difficulty!

Train your team

As you level up through combat, your party’s power will also increase. If any of your warriors are struggling in battle, visit the Training Grounds to level up your desired character in exchange for gold. Once a character reaches level 15, you can even use Master Seals to advance their class, just like in classic Fire Emblem games.

Choose your battles wisely in the Modes section

Choose your battleground

Discover the story of twins Rowan and Lianna, and join forces with famous Fire Emblem heroes from past and present in Story Mode. Lead your forces against hundreds of enemies and find the five missing Gleamstones from the Shield of Flames, as you strive to seal away the Chaos Dragon.

Advance the story to unlock additional playable characters, each with different attacks, weapons, combos and voiced dialogue*, and build relationships with members of your party.

Will thou return?

Choose between two difficulty levels, Casual or Classic, that will change the way you play. Classic difficulty introduces the renowned gameplay mechanic from the Fire Emblem series, wherein if a character falls in battle, you won’t be able to select them again. If a character falls while playing in Casual difficulty, they’ll return in the next chapter.

Make history

Battle through exciting twists on memorable Fire Emblem scenarios from previous adventures in History Mode. Complete with 2D sprites of the enemies and heroes, History Mode offers varied objectives and the opportunity to confront more ally characters on the battlefield. Can you rewrite the history books?
