Heroes: Glorious Gifts found in Glorious Gifts Winter Banner, drops December 16

Fire Emblem Heroes is bringing out the holiday heroes with the upcoming Special Heroes (Glorious Gifts) banner.

This banner includes a new Duo Hero, a trio of alts, and a brand new skill line and a handful of awaited skills, including the Armor-exclusive Daring Fighter, and the expected Rally Atk/Res+ and Def/Res Gap 3. Additionally, the next Tempest Trials+ free unit will be an alt of Jaffar, bringing us a Green Dagger for free. Lastly, we have a new-ish unit, in Elice, the duo partner of the next bow-toting Duo Hero, Marth.

This will run from December 16 until January 16, so there is plenty of time to grab the next exciting batch of winter wonders.
