They can be found during Adventure Mode battles hidden in Pots located in enemy keeps. By finding the fairies they will become Companion Fairies. Bring a Companion fairy into battle allows the use of Fairy Magic. The effects of the magic will become more powerful as the fairy's level increases. Like weapons, fairies each have an elemental attribute (Fire, Water, Lightning, Light, Darkness). When a fairy matches the recommended element of a stage, her Fairy Magic will be even stronger. After obtaining a Companion Fairy, the player is given the option of changing its default name.
Fairy Magic[]
By Tapping the Fairy Magic icon on the bottom left of the touch screen the MP Gauge can be used to trigger powerful Fairy Magic. Using Fairy Magic will release an explosive attack that corresponds to the companion fairy's elemental type. As a companion fairy grows, her Magic attacks can cause additional effects. As Companion Fairies level up, they will learn the additional effect corresponding to the gained attributes. Doubling up on the same effect will give the effect twice the power.
There are five additional effects; interestingly, three of them are named after the Medallions from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
- Bombos - Lowers defense of enemy troops within range. This effect applies to Fairies with a Fire Elemental Attribute. It is named after the Bombos Medallion from A Link to the Past.
- Ether - Raises defense of allied troops within attack range. This effect applies to Fairies with a Water Elemental Attribute. It is named after the Ether Medallion from A Link to the Past.
- Quake - Lowers speed for enemy troops within attack range. This effect applies to Fairies with a Lightning Elemental Attribute. It is named after the Quake Medallion from A Link to the Past.
- Shade - Inflicts damage on enemy troops within attack range. This effect applies to Fairies with a Darkness Elemental Attribute.
- Shine - Restores heath for allied troops within attack range. This effect applies to Fairies with a Light Elemental Attribute.

Finding Food[]
In order to be able to collect food of certain types they must first be found in certain Adventure Mode scenarios (these are marked by a Gold Food Bag on the Adventure Map). By breaking brown pots found in enemy keeps within these scenarios, new Foods can be obtained (the icon in the Treasure Section of the top screen Adventure menu reveals the Food type of the item within the scenario). The Food items found this way are Gold grade foods.
Once first found in this manner, enemies will start dropping that food item in battle and will only drop food types that players have already found once before in Adventure Mode. If players want to find a specific kind of food, it will reappear in the same Adventure Mode square where it was first located.
Fairy Clothing[]
Fairy Clothing
Additionally there is also fairy clothing to change how a fairy looks and each item has one effect that will change the amount of damage inflicted by Fairy Magic or the amount of Magic Power used. Fairy clothing can be found hidden in hidden chests located in enemy keeps in Adventure Mode. (a present box will appear on the Adventure Map to indicate which scenarios contain fairy clothing and the type of clothing it is shown in the Treasure section of the Adventure Map menu).
Parting Ways[]
Only a maximum of three Companion Fairies can be kept at one time. Once three fairies have been collected, whenever the player collects a fourth Companion Fairy, they must choose which Fairy they wish to keep and which one to part ways with. The fairy that one parts ways with will leave behind a Gratitude Crystal (a special type of Feast-based Food) as a parting gift. Once a Companion Fairy is released, one can recollect the same kind of Fairy from the scenario it was first obtained in. This limit can be raised, however, by completing Adventure Mode maps (including DLC maps).
SpotPass Fairies[]
During special events, players will receive a free SpotPass fairy for download (provided that SpotPass functionality has been enabled). These fairies come with pre-set stats and do not take up space, meaning that players do not have to part ways if they are over the fairy limit. However once released, they cannot be obtained again.
