Spend your Orbs on the New Heroes banner featuring Attuned Tharja and Rearmed Noire primarily if you need modern skill inheritance or an upgraded inheritable weapon for your older favorite units. If your core teams already handle high-tier game modes effectively, save your Orbs for future banners.
How to Evaluate Banner Value for Your Barracks
Attuned and Rearmed heroes derive most of their value from skill and weapon inheritance rather than raw standalone combat power. Before spending Orbs, check your current roster against the distinct roles these two units fill:
| Hero | Inheritance Type | Target Barracks Need | Primary Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attuned Tharja | Passive Skill Transfer | Favorites missing high-tier A, B, or C slot skills | Updating core Arena and Aether Raids heroes |
| Rearmed Noire | Inheritable Signature Weapon | Ranged/infantry units with generic or obsolete weapons | Fixing characters without viable preferred (Prf) weapons |
1. Audit Your Core Heroes for Skill Gaps
Attuned Tharja functions as a repeatable source of high-tier skill inheritance. Inspect your core team and older favorited characters. If you have "passion projects"—units you use frequently that fall behind because of outdated passive skills—Tharja offers the materials required to modernize their kits.
2. Identify Weapon Bottlenecks
Rearmed Noire introduces a specialized inheritable weapon suitable for ranged or infantry units. If you have built units that lack a unique preferred weapon (Prf) or are stuck relying on generic weapons, Noire's weapon provides a high-stat alternative. If you plan to keep Noire as an active combat unit while also passing her weapon, budget enough Orbs to pull multiple copies.
3. Check Your Orb Reserves
Determine your current Orb count before committing to the banner:
- High Priority: You have an explicit target unit in your barracks waiting for modern skills or an inheritable weapon, and you have enough Orbs to guarantee pulls.
- Low Priority: Your competitive Arena, Aether Raids, and Summoner Duels teams are fully optimized, or you are low on Orbs and cannot risk failing to secure a copy.
Next Action: Check Barracks Skills Before Summoning
Before entering the summoning screen, open your barracks and review your top ten most-used units. If fewer than two of your main units genuinely need updated passive skills or a replacement weapon, skip this banner and save your Orbs for future focus events.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Fire Emblem Heroes articles next.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
This saved me time in the early game.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
