Another new Grand Hero Battle is now available in Fire Emblem Heroes! When you’re ready, head over to Grand Hero Battle: Takumi: Empty Vessel in the Special Maps menu.

You can challenge Takumi in three different difficulties: Hard, Lunatic, and Infernal. Complete all three maps to earn up to three copies of Takumi, one 3★ and two 4★. Infernal also grants you an additional 2,000 Hero Feathers! Here’s a look at Takumi’s map, as well as his stats and skills. This information is based on the Infernal version of the map.

Grand Hero Battle: Takumi: Empty Vessel will be available for a little under two weeks, ending on 8 March.

February 23, 2018 FE Cipher, News No comments

It’s been another fun week of reveals in Fire Emblem Cipher! @fecipher started off the week by showing full versions of the N and SR cards for Lissa from Awakening. Kawade originally showed off these cards during the weekend’s livestream, but they were somewhat difficult to make out. We also know the SR will be available as a signed SR+.

Tellius got the brunt of the reveals during the week, including our third green SR, this time for Marcia.

We also got both an N and an R card for Soren, as well as an R and alternate art R+ card for Titania!

Rounding out the week is one more final R card, this for for Ares from Genealogy of the Holy War.

Heroes: Winner Announced for ‘A Hero Rises’!

February 23, 2018 FE Heroes, News 12 comments

This morning, Fire Emblem Heroes announced the winner for ‘A Hero Rises‘!

Unsurprisingly, the final winner was Ike: Vanguard Legend, with a whopping 130,622 votes! Many players correctly predicted his win, as he is a useful, newly-released Legendary Hero. Ike is also a very popular Fire Emblem lord in his own right.

Tharja: “Normal Girl” came in a close second place, followed by Azura: Lady of Ballads in third and Hector: General of Ostia in fourth. Check the official site for full results. Links on the bottom of the page also show the rankings of all other possible heroes. It’s certainly interesting to see where the other characters placed.

All Heroes players will be able to recruit this version of Ike by completing a new special chapter. Xenologue 3: The People’s Hero! will be distributed by 28 February. I hope everyone enjoys their free copy of the Legendary Hero Ike!

February 22, 2018 FE Heroes, News 17 comments

New “heroes” have just arrived in Fire Emblem Heroes! The Fallen Heroes banner contains three new 5★ units: Celica: Imprisoned Soul, Robin: Fell Incarnation, and Hardin: Dark Emperor. Check out our earlier article for a trailer and breakdown of their skills.

A new story chapter also came out alongside the banner! Book II, Chapter 5 is titled “Blood and Snow“, and it continues where the Order of Heroes left off in Nifl.

As usual, the chapter contains five maps on three difficulties. There are also some new quests for the Lunatic maps, so you can earn up to a total of 20 Orbs! You can also get up to 13 Orbs just from logging in with the new Log-In Bonus.

This chapter also introduced a new antagonist: Laegjarn, daughter of Surtr and sister of Laevatein. She’s a Wyvern Rider with the exclusive sword Níu. Surtr left her in charge of a region of Nifl, though Fjorm states that she treats the citizens with respect.

The Fallen Heroes banner will be available for about two weeks, ending on 9 March. The chapter quests will also end at that time.
