November 30, 2017 FE Heroes, News 3 comments

Another new series of quests has arrived in Fire Emblem Heroes! As you’ve probably expected, these Arena Quests reward you for playing the arena. They are very similar in nature to older Arena quests from earlier this year.

Win multiple battles in the Arena and consecutive battles in Arena Assault to win a variety of prizes, including Orbs and Refining Stones! Once you’ve completed one stage of the quests, the next stage will unlock. Check out the quest listings below.

Additionally, the next chapter of the Heroes manga is out! Here’s the Japanese original, along with a fan-translation by SF members Coolmanio and Linkmstr.

Finally, @FE_Heroes_JP just tweeted out an apology regarding some incorrect skill descriptions forged with the new Weapon Refinery. They will be working on fixing the descriptions. As compensation, players will be receiving 5 Orbs, 50 Refining Stones, and 500 Arena Medals in the near future.

The Version 2.0 Update is now live for Fire Emblem Heroes! The game will prompt you to download the update once you load it up. You’ll be prompted to download the update from within your device’s app program and then reload the game to finish the install.

The Version 2.0 Update brings some very big changes to the game. Most notably, the story is now expanded into Book II and we are introduced to our first Legendary Hero: Fjorm: Princess of Ice. We also get a variety of gameplay enhancements such as the Weapon Refinery and other updates. Read on below for more information.

Today also starts the first ever Legendary Hero Summoning Event! This event features 12 popular 5★ focus heroes for you to summon: Ike, Celica, Ayra, Spring!Xander, Bride!Caeda, Fjorm, Hector, Spring!Camilla, Deirdre, Bride!Cordelia, Genny, and Brave!Lyn!

Even better, the base summoning rate for 5★ heroes in this banner is 8%! There are also no off-focus 5★ units available at all. Now is a perfect time to summon some powerful heroes to add to your team, even some limited ones! This special summoning will be available until 4 December at 6:59am UTC.

In celebration of the Version 2.0 Update, Heroes has also started some limited events. A new Log-In Bonus started this morning, as well as a Double EXP & SP event! You’ll be able to earn double EXP and SP from all battles until 5 December at 6:59am UTC.

Additionally, new quests have begun for various parts of the update! Weapon Refinery Quests reward you with Refining Stones and Arena Medals which are used to improve weapons.

Heroes: Fjorm: Princess of Ice Introductory Video + Legendary Heroes & Maintenance Reminder

November 27, 2017 FE Heroes, News 17 comments

Nintendo Mobile has posted a new Fire Emblem Heroes video! This video formally introduces the new Heroes original character Fjorm: Princess of Ice. Check it out below!

Fjorm looks to be a very powerful new hero. You can take a look at a full breakdown of her skills and abilities below. She will be available in the new Legendary Hero summoning event that starts tomorrow! The end of the video also includes an interesting bit of text regarding Fjorm and future Legendary Hero events…

Fjorm: Princess of Ice will only be available to summon during Legendary Hero summoning events. The next time she is planned to be available is around the end of December.

So, it looks like we may get a new Legendary Hero summoning event around New Years! These will likely become recurring events. More heroes limited to these events will almost certainly arrive in the future. Regardless, you can look forward to another special summoning event in a little over a month.

Our first Legendary Hero summoning event starts in a little under 24 hours at 7:00am UTC on 28 November. It will end on 4 December at 6:59am UTC. In addition to Fjorm, the banner includes several more powerful 5★ heroes at a base summoning rate of 8%! These are the only 5★ heroes that will be available to summon in this banner.

As a reminder, Heroes maintenance will be going into effect later today, in preparation for the upcoming Version 2.0 update. It will start at 11:00pm UTC tonight, in around 15.5 hours, and is scheduled to last around five hours. For a preview of all the cool stuff that will come out with the new update, check out our earlier article.

FE Compendium Project Complete!

November 26, 2017 News 3 comments

If you have any interest in Fire Emblem Heroes, or even fanart of the just the games, you may have heard of the recently started The Fire Emblem Compendium project, founded by Yayster. The project itself strived to have a dedicated piece created specifically for this project, for over 700 characters in the Fire Emblem franchise. That’s a pretty monumental goal, right?

Well, after months of coordination since August, it’s complete. 699 artists compiled efforts to create art for 730 named major characters in the Fire Emblem franchise, and you can check it all out here. It was a huge feat, but to complete the project in just a few months is nothing short of incredible, and both Yayster and the contributors deserve praise for their efforts!

Now, they’re not done with their projects, so if you want to seek involvement for future endeavors (like their currently running Secret Santa equivalent, Secret Anna), come visit their Discord server.
