Heroes: Choose Your Legends Preview Video & Retweet Event + Narcian GHB Revival!

Fire Emblem Heroes recently released a Choose Your Legends Preview Video to show off off the new special heroes. Check it out below to get your first look at the CYL versions of Lucina, Roy, Lyn, and Ike!

All four units come with at least two new skills, one weapon and one passive. Additionally, both of the first place units, Lyn and Ike, come with five skills instead of the usual four: a weapon, a special, and all three passives. Both also have a special unique B slot skill that cannot be inherited. Check out full skill spreads for all four characters down below!

Additionally, @FE_Heroes_JP has started a new Retweet Event for the CYL campaign! If 5,000 people retweet this tweet by Monday, all players will receive a free gift of 5 Orbs and 5,000 Hero Feathers!

Finally, Narcian’s Grand Hero Battle returns once again! He now comes with an additional Infernal difficulty mode that grants a 4★ version of Narcian and 2,000 Hero Feathers. As before, you can also complete a series of quests for another Narcian, this time at 3★, and some Orbs. Details can be found below.

the four new CYL Brave Heroes will be available in just a couple days on 31 August at 7:00am UTC. Narcian’s GHB and its associated quests will be available for a bit over a week, ending on 7 September at 6:59am UTC.

Editor’s Note: Ike’s Beorc Blessing skill, as written in English in-game, is somewhat ambiguous based on its use of the “effective” text. I have rewritten the description above slightly to clarify how the skill actually works in game.
