Items

Fire Emblem Warriors hands out four kinds of item our pages track, and the useful way to tell them apart is not where they sit on the map but what the battle has to look like when it ends. The five Gleamstones need no battle at all. A Story Master Seal needs the chapter cleared, a History one needs an S rank. An Anna's Memento needs a thousand KOs and then one more thing. A material needs a named enemy of a stated level to go down, and its rare twin needs that to happen more than once. This guide runs up that ladder from the item that costs nothing to the one that costs a level 110 fight.

Nothing To Fight: The Five Gleamstones

The stones that bring each hero's Shield of Flames to full power are the one collectible here you pick up from a menu. Our page sends you to the home screen, into Heroes, and onto the character's card, where the stone is waiting. Five characters carry one, each a different colour.

Clear The Chapter: Six Story Seals

Master Seals make Surge Crests, and a Surge Crest promotes a unit from its base class to its advanced one. The page counts 23 in the base game, one per playable character, split 6 in Story, 9 in the History maps you can reach before the credits and 8 in the ones that open after, so fifteen units can be promoted before the campaign ends. Story chapters that hold a seal show a white icon on Scenario Select. Four arrive for finishing the chapter, and two sit in chests whose key is carried by an enemy you have to find first.

Earn The S Rank: Seventeen History Seals And Nine From DLC

Every seal outside Story has the same condition: finish every objective on the battle and post an S rank. The page lists them map by map, and the three DLC packs add three seals each on the same terms.

Spend them the moment a unit hits level 15, the page says, because promotion here has no hidden cost: level-ups are fixed rather than rolled, so nothing is lost by promoting early, and using a seal does not itself level anyone. Who gets the first fifteen is the real question, and the page scores all 23 characters out of ten. The chosen twin is the only 10, Robin and one of Takumi or Sakura score 9, Leo 8.5, Lissa, Ryoma and Camilla 8, Xander 7.5, and Chrom or Lucina, Frederick, Hinoka and Marth 7. At the bottom sit Anna at 0.5 and Lyn and Celica at 0, for the same reason: by the time the three secret characters join, almost every seal is already in hand.

A Thousand KOs, Then One More Thing: Anna's Mementos

Mementos are pieces of five illustrations, and finishing one opens a hard battle that adds Anna to the roster. Every memento battle our page lists starts the same way, with 1,000 enemies down, and then asks for something else. In Story the second condition is bespoke to the chapter: reach Frederick inside five minutes, keep Robin and Cordelia above 20 percent, seize every fort before the Arena gate falls, bring Velezark under half health. In History it is one of three: 1,200 more KOs, five enemy forts, or 75 KOs with Dual Specials.

Story chapters carry two mementos each from Chapter 2 onward, and the second is locked until the campaign is finished and the chapter replayed on Hard or Lunatic. Most chapters also want Rowan or Lianna on the field, two early ones ask for Lianna and Chrom together when Rowan is not available, and a few, Hoshidan Prince, High Prince Ryoma and Nohrian Princess among them, require nobody in particular. The Invisible Ties pieces belong to the Warriors Against Fate illustration, which is the one that pays out Anna.

A Named Enemy At A Stated Level: 106 Materials

Materials come in Bronze, Silver and Gold, and the fight is not the only source: two units reaching support rank C produce a Silver material, and rank B a Gold one. But the page's 106 entries are all drops, 56 common and 50 rare, and every entry names the enemy, the level and the battle. Thirteen enemy classes each drop a common and a rare piece, the five Captain's weapons come off generals of each weapon type in Hero Challenges, and the Monster alone gives three. The other 74 belong to 37 characters, a common and a rare each.

The busiest single source for character pieces is Chapter 20, where 19 of them drop at least one and 18 drop both (Rowan, Lianna, Chrom, Lucina, Lissa, Frederick, Cordelia, Owain, Hinoka, Sakura, Oboro, Camilla, Leo, Elise, Celica, Azura, Tharja, Olivia and Takumi's common piece; his rare one waits at level 65 in Cold Reception). The rest are tied to a named battle, and the level column is the effort ladder made explicit.

Class materials are cheaper still, all between level 10 and 37 in Hero Challenges or on the first two History maps, with two outliers: the Thief for the Outlaw pieces is level 52 in Scion of Legend, and the Wyvern Rider drops in Chapter 9, Nohrian Princess, on Lunatic for the common piece. Nearly every rare entry repeats its common entry's battle, so the rare roll usually changes how often you fight rather than where; Takumi and the Great Knight are the two whose rare piece moves map.

Past The Ladder

The top of this ladder is where the roster's last three names live: the mementos pay out Anna, and History maps four and five hold Lyn and Celica, all covered in our secret characters guide.

FAQ

Are there enough Master Seals for every character?

Yes. The base game has 23 for 23 playable characters, and the three DLC packs add nine more. Only fifteen are reachable before the credits, so the page's priority scores decide the order.

When should you use a Master Seal in Fire Emblem Warriors?

At level 15, as soon as promotion unlocks. Level-ups are fixed, so promoting early forfeits nothing.

How many Anna's Mementos unlock Anna?

Twenty pieces of the Warriors Against Fate illustration: ten from Story chapters and ten from the five Invisible Ties battles, followed by a level 80 fight.
