Heroes: Grand Hero Battle Featuring Female Robin Starts Tomorrow!

A new Grand Hero Battle starts on February 23rd in Fire Emblem Heroes!

This time around, players will be able to recruit Female Robin from Fire Emblem Awakening. Currently, only the male version of Robin is available as a playable Hero. However, Female Robin has appeared as a villain in Chapter 4 of Story Mode, so we know that she’s a green tome user.

Based on the previous Grand Hero Battle, we can assume that there will be two versions of the map, a Normal difficulty mode that will reward a 2★ Robin, and a Hard map that will reward a 3★ Robin. The Hard map for Narcian was difficult for quite a few players, so you may wish to prepare a strong team!

Fire Emblem E-Zine

For those of you who don’t already know, Serenes Forest is home to quite a few talented artists. We’re about to close submissions for our second annual Serenes Forest Scribbles event, but in the meantime, there’s something you should definitely check out if you’re a fan of Fire Emblem inspired artwork.

Serenes Forest user Damosel is both the organizer and one of the contributing artists for a fan-made E-Zine, Together We Ride. Damosel, along with over a dozen other artists, have put their pens to the test, by collaborating their 20 page artbook, and their efforts feature art and designs of characters from over half of the Fire Emblem games!

The new quests are active for a week, so you have until February 27th to hone your weapons and claim your prizes.

Echoes: Screenshots from Nintendo Hong Kong

A week after announcing the official Chinese version of Fire Emblem Echoes, Nintendo Hong Kong has posted some Chinese screenshots of the game on their Facebook.

The first screenshot shows young Alm and Celica hurrying towards a meadow. What’s rather curious is the presence of the game logo (Fire Emblem Echoes: Another Hero-King), which can mean one of two things.

Either this scene is from the game’s title screen (or accompanying demo) or an introductory sequence. We have reason to believe the screenshot is from the latter, since it seems to lead straight into the second screenshot posted.
