Fire Emblem Heroes Adds New Inherit Skills Feature to Enhance Gameplay Experience

Nintendo’s widely acclaimed mobile strategy RPG, Fire Emblem Heroes, continues its pattern of consistent updates with the recent launch of the Inherit Skills feature.

Since its original release on iOS and Android platforms in February 2017, Fire Emblem Heroes has enjoyed remarkable popularity, amassing over 20 million downloads globally and generating significant revenue on both the App Store and Google Play.

The title stands as one of Nintendo’s most successful mobile ventures, drawing in franchise fans and new players alike with its deep tactical gameplay and iconic characters from the Fire Emblem series. The latest Fire Emblem Heroes update introduces the Inherit Skills function, a robust addition aimed at deepening character customization and gameplay strategy.

With this enhancement, players are now able to transfer unlocked skills between their heroes and heroines, further augmenting their team’s capabilities.

Accessing the Inherit Skills option is simple—players navigate to the "Allies" tab and select "Advanced Growth," where the Inherit Skill menu allows chosen characters to inherit eligible skills from others within a player’s roster.

This new system not only encourages experimentation but also rewards those who have amassed a diverse collection of heroes. In a statement reflecting the intent behind the update, Nintendo noted that the Inherit Skills feature is designed to "give players greater flexibility and strategic depth in developing their heroes for battle." This aligns with Fire Emblem Heroes’ reputation for evolving its mechanics and frequently introducing new content such as story chapters, summonable units, and quality-of-life improvements for its player base. Beyond gameplay updates, Nintendo also commemorated the passionate Fire Emblem community this month with the release of two exclusive Fire Emblem-themed calendars.

Spotlighting fan-favorite heroes Ike and Lyn, these calendars celebrate the lasting legacy and influence of the series through vibrant artwork and franchise milestones.

The calendars are available via official Nintendo channels, offering collectors and fans unique memorabilia to mark the ongoing success of Fire Emblem Heroes. The implementation of the Inherit Skills feature reflects Nintendo’s commitment to sustained support and meaningful enhancements within its mobile offerings.

As Fire Emblem Heroes continues to expand with new features, events, and limited-time content, its standing within the Nintendo ecosystem remains strong, demonstrating the enduring appeal and innovation behind the Fire Emblem brand on mobile devices.
