What are the hearts for in Kid Icarus Myths and Monsters?

Question

I thought that the hearts were health related, but I am not entirely sure. I collect quite a few of them, and don't seem to have more health - either that, or I am just doing really, really badly.

Are the hearts health, or do they have some other purpose?

Answer 1

Hearts are currency and used for buying items such as potions, barrels etc. from sellers or black marketers.
