Dragonflowers

Dragonflowers Icon of Dragonflower (I) from Heroes.

Type Item First game Fire Emblem Heroes

Dragonflowers are a type of item appearing exclusively in Fire Emblem Heroes. Dragonflowers are used as part of its eponymous Use Dragonflowers mechanic, and allow characters to increase their stats by one point. Each time Dragonflowers are used on a character, a random stat that has not already been boosted by Dragonflowers in a cycle will be boosted by one point, but each boost requires more Dragonflowers than the previous one; how many Dragonflowers a character can use depends on when they were first introduced and, for the earliest characters, their movement type.
