Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki:Tutorials/Adding new Heroes

Creating Hero pages
Hero pages follow the  format for the page name, such as Felicia: Maid Mayhem. If one of these characters:  is present in the Hero's name or epithet, remove those characters from the final page name, for technical reasons.

However, creating Hero pages manually now are largely rendered unnecessary as we have a user who runs a bot to automatically create these Hero pages from data in the game files. It is also better to wait as the bot will overwrite any content on any premature pages when it runs.

Main page
There are boilerplate guides to help you create the pages here:
 * Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki:Boilerplates/Hero pages
 * When adding a Legendary or Mythic Hero, the table at Confer Blessing must be updated as well.
 * Reminder: Add their Legendary Hero Battles as well. See Project:Tutorials/Adding new maps

Build page

Hero images

 * For help on obtaining assets from the game files, see Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki:Extracting game assets

Artwork
These images needs to be obtained via datamining and are located in. Icon Portraits unavailable for heroes should redirect to File:Hero_No_Image_Face_FC.png.

These files in the directory, despite being named  are actually   files. These files should be renamed to  and then converted to. The official converter for webp files is dwebp. Alternatively another program that be can be used to convert webp to png is GIMP. There is an ImageMagick script here to batch convert webp files to png.

There are 5 images needed and which need to be renamed before uploading to the Wiki. CASE-SENSITIVE.

To avoid renaming hassle, you should create a hero page first, then click the red link in the infobox and upload those files.

Mini unit
The wiki currently does not support mini units, due to the time-consuming nature of manual assembly. These guidelines are here for the future, if that issue ever gets resolved.

The naming scheme for a unit's mini unit is: _Mini_Unit_ .png

The pose names will be kept the same as the internal names for ease and consistency.

List of valid pose names

 * : Animation that plays right after PLAYER PHASE animation, e.g. Takumi spinning his Fujin Yumi. Transitions into
 * : Using skills like Dance or Sing
 * : Animation that plays on loop for player units during player phase, e.g. Lilina and some mages sticking out their hands
 * : Normal attack animation
 * : Continuous loop after initial attack, often used by magic users waiting for their magic animation to end
 * : Consecutive attack animation, e.g. an immediate follow-up or a consecutive attack from a brave weapon
 * : Continuous loop after consecutive attack, often used by magic users waiting for their magic animation to end
 * : Finishing attack, usually only Legendary Heroes have this
 * : Getting hit (and taking damage)
 * : The most used pose. This is used in the home castle, when displaying bonus units, etc. In battle this animation plays on the map for enemy units or player units when you can't interact with them (during the PLAYER PHASE animation for example). This animation is also used for units that have already moved, where it uses one frame and colors the unit grayscale.
 * : Part 1 of Special, before they say their voice lines
 * : Part 2 of Special, after they say their voice lines and attack
 * : Used by manaketes during their transformation animation
 * : Used by manaketes during their transformation animation
