Changing Hero Skills – Fire Emblem Heroes

Recommended Videos

If you want to make sure your team is the strongest it can possibly be in Fire Emblem Heroes, you’re going to want to get into the habit or checking and changing your heroes’ special abilities every once in a while.

To give you a quick run down, there are two different kinds of skills in Fire Emblem Heroes : Active, and Passive. The Active type will activate through your actions on the battlefield, while Passive will simply take effect by you equipping them to a character.

There are then three types of Active skills: Weapon, Assist, and Special. These can be used through your battle actions once you’ve equipped them to your chosen hero. Passive, on the other hand, can be one of three different types: Misc. A, Misc. B, and Misc. C.

In order to change the ones that your heroes have equipped, all you need to do is head to the Allies tab, and select Equip Skills. From here, select the hero whose skills you would like to change. You should now see all of their available abilities listed. Simply tap on each ability to equip it or unequip it from the hero. A small green tick next to each one will indicate whether or not it’s equipped.
