A complete walkthrough for Chapter One: Footsteps of Fate in Fire Emblem Heroes, detailing enemy placements, boss strategies, and new character introductions for Kent and Sain.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The chapter begins with two Brigands (L1) and two Brigands (L2), all wielding Iron Axes.
  2. 2
    New characters Kent (wielding an Iron Sword) and Sain (wielding an Iron Lance) join your party.
  3. 3
    Sain's initial move might be to attack the closest brigand, but he will take damage.
  4. 4
    Kent will demonstrate the weapon triangle by attacking a brigand with his Iron Sword, and Lyn can finish it off.
  5. 5
    Sain may miss an attack on the next brigand, especially if it's in terrain like woods, which provides defensive bonuses.
  6. 6
    Lyn can recommend moving into the north woods.
  7. 7
    Lyn offers Sain a Vulnerary. The game will then teach you about trading items. You can take the used Vulnerary from Lyn and consume it.
  8. 8
    Direct Sain to move east. Kent should finish off the brigand he was engaged with.
  9. 9
    Move Lyn to attack the brigand just north of her position. Lyn can finish this brigand off, even if she takes some damage.
  10. 10
    Position Sain and Kent near the southern bridge, with Sain taking the front position.
  11. 11
    On the next turn, use Sain to defeat the remaining brigand near the southern bridge.
  12. 12
    Move Kent towards the boss, Zugu.
  13. 13
    Trade Sain's final Vulnerary to Lyn if she needs it.
  14. 14
    Move Sain and Kent to attack Zugu. While Lyn may not have direct access, Zugu will attack back, leading to his defeat.
