Gacha
The Gacha is a summoning machine in the Fire Emblem: Heroes game. Here, you pay it orbs in order for the machine to spit out your desired hero.
Orbs?
As of the moment, nobody really knows what orbs do. Other than it’s currency for the Gacha machine and that it refills the stamina, it doesn’t have any other function.
How does the Gacha work?
The Gacha summons several orbs at random. In doing so, you can shift the orb in different ways to choose your favourite attributes. And when you’re doing choosing your attributes, you’ll summon a hero within those specific attributes.
Hero Summoning
When you summon a hero, you can either use the remaining orbs or use all. After gambling once, you can either reset all the orbs or use a lesser amount of orbs.
| Attempts | Number of Orbs Required |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 3 |
Understanding the Gacha Tip
When summoning heroes, it’s best not to bet everything all at once. Unless there’s a character you’re really looking for, it’s best to do multiple spins. What you can do is, at the first part, roll the desired attributes you’re looking for. With this, it’ll start giving you out characters. And the closer you are to the desired attribute, the less orbs you have to turn.
However, if you’re already aware of what character you want/need, might as well rely on a single spin to get the desired hero.
What about the increased exp of upgrading the castle? They’re permanent buffs, so best get that soon before you waste them all on the Gacha.
