The Battle of the Beach Voting Gauntlet begins today in Fire Emblem Heroes! All eight of the swimsuit characters from both summer banners are duking it out for fame and glory. Who will you be supporting? Check out the bracket in our earlier article, or head over to the Heroes official website for live updates every hour.
Since the Gauntlet is based on existing banners, there are no special summoning banners this time around. The Ylissean Summer banner just closed after a month-long run, though the Nohrian Summer banner is still going strong.
As usual, you can also complete a series of quests to earn additional Battle Flags to support your chosen hero. Once again, they’ve been updated, and now also reward Orbs and Dueling Crests for defeating enemies within the Gauntlet! Check out below for full quest details.
The first round of the Gauntlet will end in less than two days on 3 August at 3:59am UTC. The entire Gauntlet will come to a close next Tuesday and the winner will be announced at that point. May the best swimsuit win!
Additionally, August Quests are now live! Earn yourself a bunch of Orbs, Feathers, Shards, Crystals, and Stamina Potions by completing a bunch of tasks over the course of the next month. The quests are all similar to previous months’, but we’ve outlined the full list for you below.
