7 Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Tips to Know Before Your Next Battle

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave gives you several ways to strengthen your army when a battle gets rough. Nintendo’s guidance highlights seven useful habits, from switching hero paths to recruiting allies and targeting enemy weaknesses.

1. Switch between hero paths

You do not have to finish one hero’s story before spending time with another. Nintendo says you can switch storylines at the Pale Raven’s perch between matches, with progress saved separately for each hero.

If one part of the game gives you trouble, try another path and return later.

2. Match attacks to enemy weaknesses

A balanced group helps you deal with different enemies. Nintendo recommends magic against heavily armored enemies, arrows against flying units, and spears against cavalry.

Check the enemy group before committing your units so you have the right attacks for the fight.

3. Recruit more allies around Dagsion

Strong fighters around Dagsion can join your army, though some need more convincing. Nintendo says gifts or sharing a meal can help convince certain warriors to join you.

4. Build renown outside the main battles

Winning Heroic Games matches raises your renown, and optional quests can help too. Nintendo says higher renown unlocks additional facilities around Dagsion, giving you more options between fights.

5. Leave the city when you need more resources

The world outside Dagsion offers more ways to prepare. Nintendo says the world map includes quests, resources, roaming enemies, and dungeons with materials and treasure.

If your equipment or army is not strong enough for the next challenge, a trip outside the city may help.

6. Use positioning before raw power

Good positioning can help your units avoid damage. Nintendo recommends attacking close-range enemies from farther away and getting close to long-range opponents. Terrain and nearby allies can also give your units an advantage.

7. Change the past if the final fight is too difficult

The game’s time-travel system can help when a fight feels out of reach. Nintendo recommends returning to the past and guiding another hero forward if the showdown with Balor becomes too difficult. Bringing more allies into the future can strengthen your army for the final battle.

If a fight stops your progress, check your hero paths, team makeup, positioning, and unfinished activities before trying it again.
