Yo, this is the seventh day of the series where we discuss 3★-4★ Fodder. We are ranking the Heroes based on how valuable their fodder is, rather than how well they perform as Heroes.

The Tiers are ordered top to bottom by priority, and that logic applies within each tier, too. For example, if two Heroes are in the same tier, the one placed higher would still be prioritized more, even without the skill(s) that define their tier placement. So, someone like Selena would rank lower than Kent in the SS tier, since without Reposition, she would be placed in the FF tier, while Kent would still be placed in one of the higher tiers.



This is my description for each Tier:

SS - "Reposition" Tier

These Heroes have Reposition. That's it. It's the best assist, and arguably the best skill, in the game, so anyone who has it is top-tier fodder.

S - "Viable Skills" Tier

These Heroes provide solid inheritable weapons or passives that stand on their own and aren’t just part of a bridge chain (e.g., Pass, Windsweep). It also includes cases where the Tier 3 version of a skill is just as effective, or even better, than its Tier 4 counterpart (e.g., Fury, Wings of Mercy). Draw Back is listed here too, as it's arguably the second-best movement Assist after Reposition.

A - "Important Bridge Fodder" Tier

These heroes have skills that lead directly to meta-relevant Tier 4 versions. If the skill only exists at 5★, that's fine, only if no 4★ option exists, but they are placed lower within this tier. Heroes with more than one bridge skill rank higher within this tier. If the Tier 4 version isn't relevant anymore, it is placed in lower tiers depending on how usable the Tier 3 version of the skill is.

B - "Important Specials" Tier

Includes Aether, Galeforce, Moonbow, Iceberg, Bonfire, etc. If a Hero also has a good bridge skill, they go in the tier above. Heroes with additional budget fodder rank higher within this tier.

C - "Budget Skills" Tier

Decent but not high-impact fodder. Includes okay inheritable weapons, non-top-tier specials, or bridges to underwhelming Tier 4 skills.

D - "Less Important Specials / Assists" Tier

Heroes with Swap or Smite but no other valuable fodder. Also includes Heroes with Specials that aren’t as broadly useful as those in higher tiers, or that mainly serve as bridge fodder for 500 SP Specials. Still usable, just less in-demand overall.

E - "Niche Skills" Tier

Skills with limited use, such as Noontime, Miracle, Triangle Adept, Harsh Command, and Ardent Sacrifice/Reciprocal Aid. These can work in specific situations but aren't broadly relevant. Rally Attack is also here since its dual variants are in the 3★–4★ pool, unlike the other basic Rallies. You can probably send most of them home and keep a few of each, in case you need them.

F - "Keep A Couple" Tier

Heroes with extremely niche fodder that you only need 2 copies at most. It covers skills that are technically usable but very rarely relevant. Such as basic Rallies (non-Rally Attack), Sacred Cowl, breaker skills, or Anti-Armor/Gem weapons that offer nothing else. It also includes Heroes with 5★-locked fodder that already exists at 4★. In most cases, these are safe to send home or merge.

FF - "Send Home / Merge" Tier

No real fodder value. Safe to send home for feathers or merge if you like the Hero.



As always, you can view yesterday's post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/1kjdn97/community_34_fodder_tier_list_day_6_review_and/) if you want to send feedback about the Tier List after the first 5 days and haven't already. I will still count new comments for another day.
