Changes coming soon to Fire Emblem Heroes: 99 max stamina, change starting positions, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 7 Comments
The Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has detailed some of the changes and updates soon coming to the game, and Reddit user Van24 has kindly translated them.
First of all, you will be able to adjust the starting positions of your units at the beginning of each battle. As long as you haven’t taken the first action, you can swap them around as often as you wish.
Next, some adjustments will be made to the experience earned by characters between 1-star and 4-star rarity. Specifically, the lower the star rank of a unit, the more experience they will earn fighting lower level enemies.
Finally, the maximum amount of stamina will be increased from 50 to 99. Orbs and Stamina Potions will then also refill 99 stamina.
These changes will go live with an update that will be available sometime in April.
