Heroes: Halloween Banner Units Revealed

Fire Emblem Heroes treats us with a surprise trick, the earlier than usual reveal of the Trick or Defeat! banner. Of course, this also means a new paralogue, Trick or Defeat! and new Halloween-themed maps to go with it.

This banner features no new units, but some new niches are filled with the cast, including the elusive Red tome flier (Nowi), the first Armor bow user (Jakob) and the first Armor tome user (Henry), as well a first time effective vs Tomes weapon (Sakura).
