Now that Fire Emblem Heroes is out in the wild, thousands of fans around the globe are no doubt busy training up teams of heroes in an effort to maximize their potential. Of course, unless you're exceedingly lucky, most heroes are probably hovering around the two to four star range, with maybe one or two five star heroes in total. It is possible to get any character up to five stars, of course, but that requires an inordinate amount of hero feathers, which take quite some time and grinding to obtain.
Nintendo understands this struggle, and has offered to give all Fire Emblem Heroes players a gift of 10,000 feathers. In order to receive this gift, however, fans need to retweet the below tweet 10,000 times globally before 7:00 PM PST tomorrow:
At the time of writing, it seems that the goal has already been smashed, so expect to pick up your feathers sometime soon.
What do you think? Have you been having an easy time of collecting feathers? How many five star characters do you have? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Some systems are a joke. You need to spend about 100 dollars for 10 summoning batches. Thats 50 mostly 3 star warriors. No way I am paying for this
Well, twitter events are easier to achieve than Pokémon ones.
I'm not obsessing about leveling up my guys. I don't even have any above level 16 yet. Don't you need to be level 20 to raise the character by one star and reset to level 1? How anybody ever go through that many hero feather's?
So i guess i was quite lucky with my first 20orb summons. Four 4star and one 5star. From the legendary pool.
@LordGeovanni Because the number of hero feathers you need is based on the current rarity of the hero. It only takes 20 feathers to upgrade from one star rarity to two, but it requires a whopping 20,000 feathers to go from four stars to five. (Order goes 20/200/2000/20000)
@Yoshi
Really? That is ridiculous. I thought you neededthose special emblem thingys for upgrading to o 4 or 5 star...
The feather system is definitely the wrongest part of the game, even if I understand their need to push the summons as main method for get 5 stars heroes.
Anyway glad that they are covering by using these events too, they get extra spotlight and we get some much needed items XD
1000 feathers a day from that league thingy, so 20000 in 20 days.
Not at all hard. It is however long and time consuming
@LordGeovanni You need both. You'll always need feathers, along with badges to get up to three stars and great badges beyond that.
Sounds like the best option is just to play everyday to scrounge orbs, save for 10+ days per 5 heroes, and hope you get the .5% chance of a 5 star you then have to like. 😭
Just cleared Chapter 9... Where's the rest of the story?
Excited to get my feathers!
@allav866 They add stories twice a month.
Got Marth and Robin as 5 star chars. Also got some random Knight dude with 5 star. Summons have been really fair.
I tried to star up one char and there is a big gap in stats so it's all worth it. Also because of the unlocked skills.
Excellent game and fair at the moment at least.
Now to tackle some of those lunatic challenges.
I don't have Twitter But FE:Heros is FAB!
Great now I'm halfway to raising my Selena from 4 star to 5 star just need to find another 10k somewhere...
@Owaynott Can you get 1000 a day from arena? I thought the seasons are a week long.
@chardir yep, I was wrong. So it's take months.
@Owaynott What "league thing" you mean?
How do you even use feathers? I don't see an option to use them?
@alasdair91
They'll need to be Lvl.20 or higher before you can use feathers. Once you have someone at the required level, select the allies tab, then advanced growth.
@Andrzej777 The neat thing is, you don't 'cause it's free.
First people complain that Super Mario Run isn't free and costs too much. Now people complain that the optional stuff in a totally free game costs too much.
5 days of the game and I have 6000 feathers without spend nothing in the game. Just rank high in the arena and you'll get more than 3000k each five days.
Yeah, the orbs aren't really worth it once you have a good team. Nintendo should have made them cheaper anyway
Also, fyi, the tower right now is giving out red stuff.
No five star heroes at moment but they didn't seem essential to completing the story mode. Aiming for solid three star heroes seems to be the way to go. The starting four characters cover the main triangles and don't cost too much to make them 3 stars so it is great for people who don't want to spend a penny. But I can see why people would want to play there favourite character and also see profit for Nintendo in it.
@MrGuinea
I dont complain - cause its free - I didnt pay for it, I dont need to play for it, I dont need to be disappointment and I AM NOT.
I was just saying, that its not really worth the money to invest into this game - thats it.
I made a comparison between what I paid for the FE FATES SPECIAL EDITION (its quite meaty) and what I might get in return for the same money invested in FE Heroes. Based on that I dont think its really good value to invest in it.
Besides I must say that I like this game more and more .
You just have to be aware of what it is and dont expect too much and take it slowly.
@Andrzej777 Ok, I just assumed that by that comment you weren't going to play it.
I think all pay to play games are a black hole for wallets if you fall into them. All mobile games are bad investments because spending your money doesn't amount to much. You either spend it on some "life" that allows you to play another time then it's gone instantly or you constantly have to buy new small dlc that the game offers.
That's why I would buy Mario Run. I know what I'm getting instead of paying $5 for all future map packs or something.
But yes, this game has been great and is actually making me itch to play a main game now.
@Andrzej777
To be fair, orb prices are significantly cheaper than what I've typically encountered in gacha based games. Five 10(+1) pulls (basically the equivalent of 50/55 summonings) in deresute or LLSIF for example would cost me roughly $50 more. And yeah, you're going to get mostly low level cards. That's just how it goes.
Anyway, the goal was smashed in minutes but I'd feel bad just profiting off other player's efforts so I made my contribution.
Hm, any tips on how to get those feathers? I have my Nintendo account linked both the the game and to twitter. Retweeted around 2h ago but still no signs of feathers in-game... Am I doing something wrong?
I've got a 5 star Abel, from summoning that rages. About to have my 4 star Cain at Lvl 20 so, he'll be good too. The feathers will be a great gift.
@mateq Try Arena Duels. Now i have 6850 hero feathers, 90%of them come from last week's Arena Duels' result.
I pulled a 5 Star Minerva. Leveled Anna, Alfonse and Sharena to 3 Star using feathers because I'm going out on a limb and hoping they are worth taking to 5 star. I have 7 4 Star characters, one who I got twice and made +1. I have 947 feather left and I'm considering saying goodbye to the daily heroes for more.
@RGnsd Yeah, I'm doing arena duels, but if I can receive 10,000 feathers for free, I'd gladly accept them
How are we actually receiving these feathers?
@mateq Oh you mean receiving those 10000 feathers! XD I misunderstood your question. It's a 24-hour event, so you may have to wait until tomorrow or later this week to get your feathers.
@Setery10 In game I assume. As something that you receive in your gift box, probably later this week.
32k retweets.
Nintendo still need to up their expections of the fans
Seeing as I only have 1,455 feathers, I can really use the extra boost.
Only have 1 five star (Takumi). Even though I wish there was an easier way to unlock potentials for 4 to 5 stars, I can understand that it's not there to overshadow the orb summoning which is the main draw for powerful characters.
@Frank90 I think you mean "3k" unless you really meant 3mil.
@WinterSugoi Yeah a lot of games that run off a gacha based system are pretty expensive. Puzzle and Dragons costs about the same as your example but you only get like 12 rolls vs the 55 rolls you mentioned...
@WinterSugoi
Ok,
I never played a mobile game before. I was curious about fire emblem as I like the series very much.
Its just my opinion that the value is ridiculous.
BTW, I dont own a mobile phone myself, I am using the phone which my company has given me . So making any purchases is totally out of the question - I could probably circumvent this by using a credit card - I dont know, never done this before AND NEVER WILL. I generally spend a lot on games, mostly nintendo games, so I think they are getting enough of my money.
@MrGuinea
I am still playing, in short bursts though, as much as stamina allows .
And I probably will keep the game, its my only mobile game and I quite like it for what it is. Will see how it developes and how many heroes I will be able to collect. I only play with 4 and 5 star heroes, dont care about wasting time and stamina to level up any 3 star heroes.
@Andrzej777 I have five 5* characters in Heroes and I didn't spend anything to get them.
@HyliasHero
Lucky you!
I have just 4!
and nine 4 star heroes.
Wonder how many people paid money for orbs and got less
@Ernest_The_Crab Yep! 3K is the correct.
I'm not disappointed by the story, characters, graphics or gameplay of FE Heroes. I expected those aspects to be worse anyway. Addicting game, but it's not an epic 10/10 masterpiece like the home console Fire Emblems.
@SKTTR The new Fire Emblem game can't come soon enough I feel.
Well I have to say I'm really enjoying this game! Very well developed! I have 15 gold star heroes right now all lvl 30 + and have found it challenging to gather feather but not unreasonable time wise. I wish the stamina limit could be increased!! I like how fortunate I have been and overall am excited for future content. Great game and this feather re tweet contest is great! Big help for the launch!!
