The player begins with a gift collection of "starter" heroes, containing six heroes, which can be utilized to make more than 15 missions.

To purchase another set of heroes, the player must earn the required "orbs." The "orbs" refer to the major currency of "Fire Emblem Heroes," which can be acquired by doing at least the prolog missions.

The goal is to land your team around the board to get the best result. However, it will not be a simple positioning as there will be heaps of obstacles like restrictive walls and choke points.
