A new month, a new Special banner in Fire Emblem Heroes! It’s October, and everyone knows what October’s all about. Just like last year’s Halloween banner (Trick or Defeat), this year we get a new banner with new Heroes in spooky scary outfits. And a maid who likes to throw perfectly good glass bottles of “juice” around. It’s The Land’s Bounty Special Banner, featuring Myrrh, Mia, Kagero and Niles!

The banner will last from today until the 9th of November, 6:59AM UTC.
