c) The RNG ------------------------------------------------------------- [1030]

Learn about the Random Number Generator (RNG) in Fire Emblem Heroes, how it affects battles, and the basics of RNG abuse for character leveling.

The RNG (Random Number Generator) is a built-in game feature that determines various outcomes. This includes whether a unit will land a hit, evade an attack, be critically hit, and any other battle-related percentages. It also influences the odds of each of the seven stats increasing when a unit levels up.

While not going into excessive depth, understanding RNG is crucial. You can engage in RNG abuse, which means manipulating the RNs (random numbers) to achieve a desired outcome, such as hitting an enemy or dodging an attack when you might have otherwise failed. However, good strategy often makes such manipulation unnecessary. The primary purpose of RNG abuse is to maximize character stats during leveling, aiming to reach their caps and create ultimate team members.

Basics of RNG usage in Fire Emblem Heroes:

• 2 RNs are used to determine hit rate odds.
• If a hit is successful, a 3rd RN is used for critical hit odds.
• If a hit fails, only the initial 2 RNs are used for hit rate odds.
• If an assassin performs a successful critical hit, a 4th RN is used to determine if it results in a one-hit KO.
• 7 RNs are used when a unit levels up.
• During the beginning of an enemy's turn, 1 RN is used.
• Usable items like vulneraries or staves do not utilize RNs.
• The exact RN usage in the Arena remains unknown.
