Fire Emblem Heroes units are divided into four different groups based on their movement: Infantry, Cavalry, Flying, and Armored. Each movement type has a corresponding Dragonflower that can only be used by their respective units. For example, red Dragonflowers are exclusively for Infantry units, and yellow Dragonflowers are for Cavalry units.

To use Dragonflowers, navigate to Ally Growth under the Allies tab. Each Dragonflower enhancement will boost one of a unit's stats by 1, starting with HP. Successive enhancements will increase the next highest level 1 raw stat among Atk, Spd, Def, and Res until all stats have been increased once. The stats are chosen after considering the unit's Asset, Ascended Asset, and Flaw. If multiple stats are of equal value, they will be prioritized in the order of Atk, Spd, Def, and Res.

Dragonflower enhancement level is not taken into account for Arena scoring.

Repeats the first five enhancement order starting from HP

The number of times that a unit can be enhanced with Dragonflower depends on its release date. The older the Hero is, the more times they can be enhanced, up to a current cap of +30. This is one of the game's ways of helping older units keep up with modern power levels. However, this also means older units require much higher costs to reach equal footing with newer units, with a +30 unit needing a total of 3,260 Dragonflowers.

Unlock Potential will keep a unit's Dragonflower enhancement level, while Merging units will only keep the higher enhancement level of the two.
