Learn with Sharena! Fire Emblem Heroes

Is something up, Sharena? You've been staring at the ground for a while.
Well... I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but I noticed this strange icon next to me. Can you see it too, Commander?
It looks like a shoe with an arrow pointing down! I figured it must mean there's something on the ground, by my feet...
Maybe someone dropped a few coins? I think there is a more likely explanation, though. That icon means that an effect is restricting your mobility!
Oh, is that right? My body does feel heavy and tired, but I assumed that was because I stayed up way too late last night.
Not quite. The icons that can show up next to Heroes indicate status changes, but only for battle-related effects. You'll be pleased to know that status icons don't cover the effects of bad habits!
