Community Spotlight: Artists of Askr and Anna’s Secret Stash

December 28, 2017 News No comments

If you’re familiar with the Fire Emblem art community, then you may have crossed paths with some of the talent represented in the Artists of Askr, a group created this summer by Reddit user /u/Traveler-san. The Artists of Askr run frequent events, such as their recent Inktober endeavor, (collecting hundreds of pieces of fanart themed by the day), their production of their 170 page The World of Heroes publication, and their great involvement with the FE: Compendium project (piecing together hundreds of artists to collectively draw fanart for nearly every named character in the franchise).

This year, they’ve released their Anna’s Secret Stash issue, a collective of 29 separate artists dressed up (or down?) for the summer. Orders are still up, so if you’d like to grab yourself a copy, check out their site and give it a peak. Many of the artists are regulars on Twitter, and also happen to be good friends of mine, so it’s well worth the peek:

Digital edition: .PDF ($10)

Physical edition: 6×9 paperback ($20) -Available until 12/31/17-

Deluxe Edition: Physical + 10pc Sticker Sheet ($30)

Check out their Twitter, or join their Discord server, to keep up to date on their publications, events and other community driven activities! They’re very open, so if you’re an artist looking for events to participate in and friends to share stories with, or just want a laid back group to socialize with, pay them a visit! Read more

Heroes: Legendary Hero Summoning Event, New Years Hero Silhouettes, and Double EXP & SP Event!

December 28, 2017 FE Heroes, News 21 comments

The latest Legendary Hero Summoning Event is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes! Do your best to summon the new Gunnthrá: Queen of Dreams as well as an assortment of additional 5★ heroes, and for an 8% chance at a 5★ too! Check out our earlier article for an intro trailer and full breakdown of Gunnthrá’s skills and the heroes available.

This special summoning event will only be around for a short time, ending on 2 January. However, another Legendary Hero summoning event will likely be arriving late January.

If none of the heroes in this banner interest you much, you may wish to hold onto your Orbs. A New Years Special Hero banner will be arriving shortly! @FE_Heroes_JP shared the following silhouette image to tease the new banner. I wonder who that spiky, pineapple-haired guy could be?

This new banner is arriving just in time for New Years on 31 December along with a new log-in bonus. We should hopefully be getting a trailer in the next day or two to fully introduce the new heroes.

Finally, have fun training up all the new heroes you summon in these banners with a Double EXP & SP event! You’ll earn twice as much EXP and SP in all battles you face. The event starts today and runs through 4 January.

Heroes: Legendary Heroes Summoning Event with Gunnthrá: Voice of Dreams, Three Heroes Quests, Official Survey, and Manga Update!

December 27, 2017 FE Heroes, News 24 comments

Another Legendary Heroes Summoning Event is coming to Fire Emblem Heroes! This latest banner introduces us to another Heroes original character: Gunnthrá: Voice of Dreams. The eldest princess of Nifl is a cavalry unit wielding the green tome Blizzard. Check out her introduction video! You can also see a breakdown of her skills below.

Just like the previous Legendary Heroes banner, Gunnthrá will be appearing with other 5★ heroes, including seasonal units! The other heroes for this banner are: Ryoma, Brave Roy, Sigurd, Spring Lucina, Bride Charlotte, Fjorm, Spring Chrom, Amelia, Elise, Bride Lyn, and Innes.

Also as before, the 5★ rate is increased to 8% and no off-focus 5★ units are available.

The summoning event starts tomorrow, 28 December and runs for five days, ending on 2 January. A note at the end of the video states that another Legendary Hero Summoning Event will come at the end of January. As such it’s likely these will be recurring, monthly events.

A new series of quests started today! The Three Heroes quests are back again, this time featuring Laslow, Florina, and Bartre. Complete the first few quests to earn 3★ versions of these heroes, and then use them in battle to earn some Orbs! Check out the full quest breakdown below.

Additionally, an official feedback survey for Heroes is also available! You can access the link to the survey within the game’s Notification Screen. Complete the survey and you’ll be rewarded with five Orbs as a thank you at a later date. It’s also a great way to provide feedback to the game’s development team, so don’t be shy to share your opinions.

Finally, the latest chapter of the Heroes manga is now available! As always, thanks to Serenes Forest forum users Coolmanio and Linkmstr for the translation.

Heroes: Tempest Trials: A Gift of Peace Now Live!

December 26, 2017 FE Heroes, News 7 comments

It’s time for another Tempest Trials in Fire Emblem Heroes! Tempest Trials: A Gift of Peace starts today and runs for the next two weeks.

Once again, Masked Marth reaches out to various heroes to help with the arrival of another tempest. Although the heroes are willing to help, someone couldn’t help finding the situation a bit ridiculous…

As usual, you can access the Tempest Trials on the battle screen. The opening screen shows the available Bonus Allies, your current score, and links to Check Rewards or Select Stage. This time, the various maps come from seasonal paralogues. The final map is a rather festive version of Chapter 6 from Awakening and features M!Robin as the boss.

Once again, we get another Log-In Bonus and there are also a variety of rewards that Heroes players can work to earn. The Daily Quests are back and updated with Refining Stones. You can also score lots of rewards for earning up to 99,999 points in the Trials. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Units: 4★ Masked Marth at 2,000 and 5★ Masked Marth at 30,000.
  • Sacred Seals: Threaten Spd at 12,000, Iote’s Shield at 20,000, Heavy Blade at 40,000.
  • Water Blessing at 25,000

There are also Shards, Crystals, Hero Feathers, Sacred Coins, and of course lots of Orbs!

Tempest Trials: A Gift of Peace will last until 6:59am UTC on 9 January.
